I so much enjoy the “checking off” of finishing a book that I push on through books that I don’t enjoy. In the last month I’ve added a “did not finish” tag so that I don’t feel that I’m “cheating” when I mark books as read that I’ve abandoned, and I’ve tried to pay attention and abandon books I’m not enjoying.
