Book It With Briana

Anyone who knows me will know that I am an impatient woman, and I have the attention span of a squirrel. I have a habit of reading multiple books at the same time to serve different situations or moods, but I also have the habit of getting bored and moving on at the slightest lapse in interest. Sometimes all it takes is seeing one too many TikTok videos of a different story to flair my interest elsewhere, but sometimes the book itself just becomes too happy too quickly.

This post is my way of trying to work through whether I want to leave my current read at 65% because the main characters got together at the 50% mark and now the story is too content. It’s not that I don’t want the characters to have their happy ending, just that I prefer a more long-lasting slow burn with a lot more pining involved. I do feel a smidgen of guilt toward this particular book considering I have been enjoying it quite a bit up until this point. I have just lost the motivation to pick it up in my spare time now that they have gotten together – and together, and together, etc, etc (you get the point).

I’ve truthfully DNF’ed plenty of books for a lot less, so I am marginally surprised at my hesitation with this one. I think I will push through it, mainly for the laughs I know it will give me. Wish me luck on my moral dilemma. Maybe if I finish it tonight I will be able to find something that will fit my needs a bit more.

If I end up finishing it I will give some more information on what the book is called and what not. I guess this book will be the true test on whether a reason is necessary in order to DNF. If you can think of any books that might be able to pull me away, I would love to feel tempted into pushing it to the side.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me!
