    When you did the first book reveal I screamed, “ That’s definitely not a Chloe book” 🙀😂❤️. Life is too short to read a book you aren’t enjoying.

      @@AlwaysBooked me too! It’s just now gotten up to 14 degrees here in Iowa and fluffy snow all morning. I have long socks ankle boots and a wool coat on.

    I'm glad you at least gave it a try. 😊
    My favorite genre is fantasy, and Legendborn is on my tbr. But, I love most genres and really mix up my monthly reads. Historical fiction is my second favorite.
    The most important thing is enjoying what we're reading!! I dnf more now than I used to. So, many good books!

    Kudos to you for skipping the first and giving the second a good go!

    For me, breaking into a little bit of fantasy reading required print or even print/audio simultaneously - I don't know what all the lingo is but I let it wash over me and kind of float along. I've never read high epic fantasy but this lighter option has become something I enjoy.

    • @AlwaysBooked

      Maybe when I have more free brain space I’ll enjoy it more, but right now I don’t like learning new words and worlds haha

    Would not have been for me either. I used to feel bad about dnf-ing a book too, but have gotten much better at it. 🎄📚💚

    • @AlwaysBooked
      @AlwaysBooked  День назад

      I’m still working on it but I also have gotten much better! It’s the FOMO! And being a completionist

    Oh my goodness! The MindF series blew up a couple years ago and I won’t even try them. I also thing they’re very dark.
    Do not at all think you would enjoy!! ❤

    Ha ha. You gave Legendborn the old College Try. Nothing wrong with trying something and not continuing if it isn't your jam. I heard someone say it's like tasting food that isn't cooked well or you don't enjoy and then cringing with every bit say, that is so disgusting. You wouldn't want to force that down, same with books. To Happy Reading 📚. 💜💜💜

  • @SharonReads-ob7mk

    I think we should not feel bad for dnfing a book. We know what content we will and won’t read and shouldn’t force ourselves to suffer through content that we don’t enjoy. Just because it’s something that you choose to dnf doesn’t mean someone else won’t love it. 👏👏

    The S.T. Abby series to me can only really be enjoyed as a binge read of the whole series. To me it was kind of like Dexter the TV show mixed with The Count of Monte Cristo. You would definitely have to be Okay with some Dead Pool level language. There is some on page intimacy, but by and far way more violence. Definitely not for everyone, everyone has to pick their poison and read within their comfort levels. My eyes grew big when you drew that pick😅. 💜💜💜

    Good for you for dnf’ing the book. I used to not dnf but I’ve learned life is too short to read books you’re not enjoying.

    • @AlwaysBooked
      @AlwaysBooked  День назад

      Same! That’s a lesson I’m still working on but I’m getting better!

    I DNF alot. I've DNF'd books that many people in the cozy mystery circle have loved simply because it wasn't working for me. I go by how I feel not by how other readers feel. Life is too short and there are too many books out there to read a book that isn't working for me. Also, I always feel like if I don't DNF the book that isn't working for me than I'm wasting time that I could be spending on reading a book that is perfect for me. Personally, I like to grow in my comfort zone because my comfort zone has a correlation with my values. So I read cozy mysteries because they aren't explicit. If I read a different genre like a romance, I pick one that isn't explicit. I'm still trying a new genre but in a way that works for me. Just my two cents.

    Maybe you don't understand what's going on in fantasy because the Lord is trying to protect you!
    I had to give up quite a few friendships when their entertainment did not meet my values. It's tough doing that because you miss them, but at the same time I don't want to think that I'm above getting drawn into their type of books and movies that they watch. I used to do this before I was saved and I want to guard my heart.

    This is my first time hearing about Legendborn. I have never read Fantasy books so I don’t have any interest in reading it. I also have never heard of the first book you mentioned it is on Kindle Unlimited but I don’t know anything about it.

    • @AlwaysBooked
      @AlwaysBooked  День назад +1

      I’d say you can let both go haha

    I’m with you and don’t care for fantasy. You have to really be into “world building” and I’m not. I think I object to words being used for every day things. Like a whole set of currency. It’s like being in a foreign country and having to learn the language as well as understand what’s going on. Your friend may like fantasy. I would like to hear her discuss this book if she has read it.i think you gave it a fair shake. Yay for the DNF.

    Don't feel bad about DNFing a book. Not every book is for every reader. I have DNFd a ton this year! No shame.😊
