Tell Me Something Tuesday: 08.22.23 (I didn't like it; do I give it a second chance?)

I've picked up books in the past that I've been lukewarm about but was willing to give them a chance. Or books that have been over-hyped that aren't within my usual reading genres. There have been a few times when I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the book. This recently happened with Yellowface by R.F. Kuang.


Most of the time, though, if I DNF a book or put it down because I'm just not enjoying it, I almost never go back to it. I have way too many books I want to read and write, that I don't waste time on things that aren't bringing me joy. (Sorry to all my fellow authors if this comes off as a little harsh!)
