Between unread classics, new releases, recommendations, and books I want to reread, I’m realizing the real struggle isn’t finding books, it’s choosing what actually deserves my limited time. Lately I’ve been wondering whether I should read more important books, more comforting ones, or just follow my mood and stop overthinking it.
Do you have a system, a gut feeling, or do you just grab whatever feels right in the moment?

I have suffered through enough books that weren’t “worth” it in the end, that now I am not afraid to DNF a book.
If I don’t like the authors voice, I’m happy to DNF by page 30. Why be annoyed the whole time? Just not the right book for me then.
If I’m not at least moderately invested in the plot or characters by page 120, I will DNF. Not to say the book is bad, sometimes it’s just not the right book for me at the time and I can’t quite click into it.
I say follow your mood. I skip around genres and different types of reads depending on what I’m wanting for my “me time”— it changes!
