Weirdly I'm really excited for going back now lol, sad? who cares! I am obsessed with goodreads as well :) In terms of abandoning books I just can't do it. I feel like I need to finish it whether I like it or not before I can go onto the next. It can be such a struggle though and totally put me off reading. There is nothing better than wanting to pick up a book though and find out whats happening with a story.<br /><br />www.simplysara.co.uk<br /><br />xSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092498050140133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669666292314469990.post-37195771014125208822015-06-24T20:58:28.275+01:002015-06-24T20:58:28.275+01:00Totally!

Maybe it's because I'm such a slow reader :( But I do agree on banning the phone thing, books are a lot better to focus on sometimes! Also, I never could get around to abandoning a whole book. I don't know why but I always feel like it's an obligation for me to finish all the books I started, and that usually results in feeling really burdened and heavy to read it. At the end, I do kind of hate it. Maybe in these cases we should just give the book away to someone else, haha!
