tons! not finishing stuff is so freeing. sometimes mine are for trigger reasons (i can take a lot, but there's some kid stuff that i can't do--my absolute darling, the push...) but also you can tell if you're vibing pretty quick. most recently...dolly alderton's good material. reviews seem to indicate i'd be rewarded for keeping with but i could. not. get. there.

You know, I loved Good Material but I loved it immediately. So if it is not clicking, it will not click.

I’m very good at quitting books. But I forced myself to finish Circe because I was like “surely this gets better for everyone to rave about it.”

It did not.

I almost took that route but thank you for confirming my instincts were right. And I was one of those middle schoolers who LOVED mythology
