I don’t have a problem leaving books behind anymore. I think when people care about the written word as much as we do (I mean, we are book bloggers, after all) it can be hard to walk away from something that an author put so much effort into, but some books aren’t meant for every reader.
What was the last book you gave up on?

Over the last few years I’ve definitely become more picky over books that I will even pick up to read, but every now and then even a beloved author produces a, for me at least, dud. I also think I sometimes judge harshly against the quality of their other work rather than the book individually, but that’s a discussion for another day!
Too slow a plot or lack of connection to the main characters are usually my main reasons for DNF’ing a book too.

Great list! Ahh it can be so hit or miss when a series we like introduces a new main character, can’t it?

Great list! I haven’t read any of these (although I was thinking about Praire Fires) — but I have no problem DNFing if a book doesn’t appeal to me or just doesn’t hold my interest. Too many other books to read!

I think the last book I abandoned was Emilie Pine’s Notes to Myself. I’d read part of it, but it didn’t really fix my attention depsite it being very well reviewed. You win some, you lose some!
