In Praise of a DNF (Did Not Finish) Book

I love a long weekend. Over this 4th of July weekend, I have been able to devote lots and lots and lots of time to reading and blogging. One of my absolute favorite hobbies is reading. I am happiest when I am lost in a book. I love reading about new places, new people, new experiences.

What happens when I find books that I cannot get involved with? Should I waste my time and slog through just to say I finished X, Y, and Z book? I do not think so. This might be contrary to what should happen, but I genuinely believe that life is too short to read books you cannot make a connection with.

I even got into a discussion with some of my Facebook friends about this very topic. We are all of the mindset that if you cannot get into a book after a period of time then it is best to just move on. So, in honor of the posts that I was not able to submit today, I give you a picture of my husband's cat Jolene. Okay, okay, she is my cat, too.....she and I have a mutual (un)admiration society. This mackerel is very set in her ways.

More reviews will be forthcoming. Just not reviews of the 2 books I was unable to get into. The whole purpose of this blog is to read YA and to read outside of my comfort zone. What should happen when novels are WAY outside of my comfort zone or are just not appealing? I move on to the next YA reads.

Keep reading, loving, and enjoying YA. I will be back soon with more exciting and witty reviews ;).
