As a librarian, I officially give anyone permission to give up on books they’re not clicking with.
Do you know how many books are published each year? Over 300,000! That’s like 800-ish a day. Even if only 1% of those are great, that’s eight great books per day. Not even counting the ones that are already out there! There are too many amazing books out there that will light you up and connect you with why reading is amazing. Give books a chance, whether that’s 50 pages or two chapters, or whatever your metric is. But after that? Ditch it.
