(This is probably because I only love them a very small percentage of the time.) There are several on my "To Read" list that I plan to get to eventually, but they don't usually take priority.<br /><br />I cannot quit books. I wish I could be okay with saying "DNF" and moving on, but I struggle with this so much! I hope you're successful in allowing yourself to do this when you need to.<br /><br />Good luck with your goals (and also with not being hard on yourself when you decide you just want to relax)! :-)Kristen @ The Book Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140727055301783400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115308231743588235.post-88565063485379604842018-01-17T01:51:28.349+00:002018-01-17T01:51:28.349+00:00These are all great.

I know my daughter didn't read many of the books I read. Always a great goal. Reviews! I am all caught up right now, and I want to stay there. I have always DNFed. I don't think it beneficial for me or the book to push through something I am not enjoying.

I’m completely taking the pressure off myself (way fewer arcs, no reading challenges, no grabbing all the latest hyped books) and going back to reading for sheer enjoyment. That means reading off my shelves and reading whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully we’ll both stick to our goals this year!
