November Group Read: First Check-In

[kalloway]

Here we are, one week in. Have you finished or started anything? How are you feeling? (It is perfectly fine if the answers are "no", "nope", and "augh", of course.)


For added optional discussion, if you'd like- Do you ever DNF (Did Not Finish) books? If so, what makes you DNF something and when? Style? Content? Not grabbing you after x% of pages? Something else? Or are you the type of reader who finishes everything you start, no matter what?

Yeah, it was the worst cellophane and I have no idea why a library would use it. (But I guess it wasn't a total DNF since I'd liked what I did manage enough to get my own copy; I just need to get back to it.)

I also used to have a lot of trouble with hardcovers with dust jackets in general. Had to take them off and set them aside... Not possible with library books so I got used to them, but I still prefer paperbacks when I can get them.

I’ve come to the point where I don’t want the weight of hardbacks for general reading either and even find heavy paperbacks a drain.
