I’m having difficulty finishing books because I’m getting distracted by other books! Part of the issue is that I have A LOT of books checked out from the library and either holds are being put in for them or I hit the renew limit. So, I stop whatever else I’m reading and start the book that is due the soonest. Cherry Baby is due back on Monday, and, like all of Rainbow Rowell’s books, is so good that I will be spending as much of this weekend as I can reading and hopefully finishing it before the library closes on Monday. The other part of the issue is that I’m a mood reader, and I start reading books that are calling to me in the moment, which is what happened when I was trying to decide what book to take with me to Silent Book Club (The Cat Who Saved Books). My goal is to finish all of my current reads by December 1st, when the “Snowed In” challenge on Litsy starts and I will have five books more books to read.
