This is a silly question, I know I can do whatever I want, but I wanted to see how others deal with this. I am reading Count of Monte Cristo, I’m about 450 pages in, and I don’t feel particularly motivated to finish it right now (it is very good). I also feel “stressed” it’s November, and I’ve read 30 books out of 35 my goal. I want to pause, and read 4 books that were on my made-up curriculum for this month, so I can feel confident I’ll reach my yearly goal. Otherwise I’ll most likely keep reading Count of MC until the end of the year. My brain has a problem starting other books while reading the current one haha. The next book I was going to read it The Secret History, and I feel like I’m having a hard time telling my brain it’s ok to pause, and read other things and leave something “unfinished”. Do you guys pause mid books, read other stuff then come back?
