That's always disappointing, but usually when I start a book I persevere.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384554351353947602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-43130348401226884452010-10-06T05:09:30.486-07:002010-10-06T05:09:30.486-07:00I think, for me, it varies from book to book.

I'm currently trawling through a book, but am very close to calling it quits because the character is driving me up the wall.Tammy (The Book Fairy's Haven)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14199128133219847316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-45589669597480813562010-10-05T14:32:56.409-07:002010-10-05T14:32:56.409-07:00I just awarded you the "Versatile Blogger Awa...I just awarded you the "Versatile Blogger Award."

I've had books downright annoy/piss me off to the point where I wanted to throw things -- the book amongst them -- across the room. But I feel incomplete if I don't completely finish a book. There's also the small, small chance that the book will become better towards the end so I choose to give it the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />=PKristina Barnes♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/08979145078007906681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-21097990808984721902010-10-04T16:53:42.101-07:002010-10-04T16:53:42.101-07:00This is a great looking blog and I love the name. ...This is a great looking blog and I love the name. I am a new follower. I have have a tough time giving up on books, it seems even that one nugget is sometimes worth it weight. I have however give up at least two or three times that I can think of.
