It's so slow moving compared to the first. I heard the 3rd one is really good though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-873579 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 00:33:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 873579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: omg i hated Life of Pi! it was torturous to get through.</p> <p>I don't always finish books I start, but I make a huge effort. Sometimes I'll set it aside, and come back to it years later, determined to give it that 2nd chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-873287 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:34:14 +0000 Dapple Grey 873287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually never finish books Ibbuy at the airport to read on my flights..i get as far as the travel time lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-873265 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:26:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 873265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not anymore. I just don't have the time and/or energy. I've been trying to read the GoT series for like a year now (and I'm not even halfway through the second book, sigh). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-873210 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:08:51 +0000 Bookish 873210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to make it my mission to finish a book even if it was total crap. Now I figure there are too many books, not enough time, and I'll be darned if I waste my time on ones I don't like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872664 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:56:17 +0000 jhd 872664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i try to unless it is just really awful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872489 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:30:13 +0000 Bao 872489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try and give a book a good chance, but sometimes I just can't get into it so I stop reading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872486 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:29:56 +0000 PEAPIE 872486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BFN :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872481 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:27:58 +0000 Andrea 872481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Life is short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872473 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:25:32 +0000 MrsH 872473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, some are just not worth the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872436 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:14:10 +0000 cheert16 872436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finish almost every book I start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872433 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:13:21 +0000 mrs. 64 872433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. There are too many good books that I could be reading to waste my time on ones I don't enjoy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872398 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:06:12 +0000 Boheme 872398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I have to get into them pretty quickly or I give up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872368 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:59:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 872368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only finish them if I like them :)</p> <p>@Running Elley: I've had the first game of thrones on my kindle for months now..I cannot get past the second or third chapter! I watched all the episodes, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872367 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:59:54 +0000 sera_87 872367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: me too! I think I got through like, three chapters. If that. I didn't find her funny, just annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872355 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:58:34 +0000 Boogs 872355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to. Even if it takes me forever to get back to it, I had to leave a book unfinished. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872347 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:57:04 +0000 MrsRoo 872347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure the only 2 books I've never finished were The Notebook (hated the movie, so not sure why I bought the book) and Love in the Time of Cholera. I should go back and try to finish that one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872339 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:55:00 +0000 Sweet T 872339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I used to force myself to finish every book I started but I don't have as much time to read as I used to. If I'm reading for pleasure, I want to enjoy it! I tried reading Bossypants a few months ago and just couldn't get into it. I thought it was awful! I didn't even make it half way through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872328 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:52:18 +0000 sera_87 872328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but now my time is limited &amp; I don't want to waste it reading something that sucks. I read 29 books last month and gave up on 3 out of that 29. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-872313 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:48:57 +0000 emg86 872313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to finish every book I read whether I liked it or not, but not anymore. If I really can't get into a book and I've tried then I give up and pick something else up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-870901 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:07:57 +0000 autumnlove 870901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-870897 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:07:38 +0000 Adira 870897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, but not always. I could not for the life of me finish <i>A Fire Upon the Deep</i> and I tried sooooooo hard. But there are very few books I don't finish. And like you, @mrbee, I buy books and then just don't start them, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-870891 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:06:13 +0000 mrsjazz 870891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly finish all my books. I may not finish them all in one sitting, but I return to them eventually. A book has to be really bad or slow moving for me to not finish it, there are only a few books that I pretty much hated and couldn't bring myself to finish, Eat, Pray, Love &amp; Life of Pi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-870875 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:02:31 +0000 Running Elley 870875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Most of the time I stop reading though and then eventually come back to it after reading something else in between. For example, while I was reading the Game of Thrones series I had to take breaks here and there to read a light, fluff book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-finish-every-book-you-start#post-870867 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:01:17 +0000 mrbee 870867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a huge effort to finish a book if I start it... I will sometimes buy a book though and not start it. Loophole?</p> <p>Do you finish every book you start? </p>
