my only hesitation is that JD Salinger has a way of trying to a story or a book (often meandering) in that last paragraph on the very last page. That’s part of why i push through and finish books i wasn’t really into!

I love putting books on pause. Sometimes it’s just not the right fit for where I’m at mentally and I need something different.

Ugh i need to get better about this. I just end up hate reading to finish books i don’t like so i can define fully why i didn’t like it. But also i always hope that it will eventually get better and most of the time if i don’t like a book in the first 50-100 pages i don’t end up liking it at all… i hate not finishing something that i start though!!! I am always torn!!!
