I really don’t know what to do about my reading right now.

I’ve been reading Words of Radiance for months now, and part of me is bored with it. I kind of want to give up on it. But also I know that it’s going to get better,. I’ve also heard that it’s the worst book in the series so far, so the next ones are going to be better.

I’ve always struggled with Brandon Sanderson’s books. They always take me forever to read. But I usually enjoy the plots of his books, so I don’t know. The characters are great, the magic is interesting, but the plot is just moving so slowly.

It’s putting me into a reading slump.

I had really wanted to finish reading this book before the end of 2023, but I’m not sure that will happen now. I’ve still got about 420 pages left to read by the end of the week. I don’t think I can manage it. But I know that once I finish this book then I can read whatever I want, and I’m going to be more free with my reading in the new year.

But I still have the issue of whether or not I should give up on this book. I don’t want to give up on it. I’m not the kind of person to DNF books often. And seeing as this book was initially a buddy read, and the person I was buddy reading with has already finished this book weeks ago, I don’t want to feel like I’m letting them down.

I know there’s nothing wrong with DNF’ing books. And I have DNF’d books before. I just don’t want to do that with this book. I want to continue with the series. I just need to get past this current installment.

I think I’m just going to try to push through for this week. The more I can get through before the new year the sooner I can just put the book away.

It might suck, but when I finish it I’ll feel free, and I’ll feel a sense of accomplishment.

I don’t know. I’m just feeling overwhelmed by this book. It’s just been sitting on my bedside table for months, and I’m getting through it so damn slowly. I needed to vent about it. But I think I’m just going to push through and then enjoy myself once it’s finished.

Have you ever been stuck on a book for months on end? What did you do about it??

Until next time,

Love, Bobbi. Xx
