I did that with Dexter’s series.

They are 8 books. I read 5 and a half. On the 6th I didn’t want to continue as they were so boring after the 3rd and quite not interesting anymore.

I marked 6, 7 and 8 as read and asked my partner for a summary (we have a book club between ourselves)

With short stories/anthologies/collections, I wouldn’t see it bad to mark the book as read even if you skipped few. The book is done for you and you judge it to yourself from the ones you got to read
