[quote=Anonymous]I came to DCUM this morning to pose this very question, so I'm glad I searched back a few pages to see that it was already created.

Since January, I've had a series of books that I just can't get into.  It almost seems like it's a "me problem"!  I used to force myself to finish a book I start, but as soon as I started giving myself permission to drop a book I'm not enjoying, I so easily just give up on it.  I have a very deep wish list on Overdrive, so it's easy for me to move on.  There are more books than time.

Maybe I just don't have enough mental energy to be absorbed into anything too deep these days, and that's why I'm striking out with more books than usual.  I also haven't been as careful in curating my wish list, I just add new releases and anything I see with a good book review, whether or not I've read the description.  I think that contributes to my issue.

Case in point, "Survivor Song", a book about zombies and a virus.  I gave it a few pages this weekend, but went in blind, and quickly exited.  I would never have added this to my wish list if I had read a brief description.  [/quote]
