Chelsey you are the powerhouse reader! Do you ever not finish a book? I’ve recently put a book down because after 2 chapters I didn’t think it was worth my time. I’ve also started a stack of books that I don’t plan to read through but I do plan to spend a couple of hours in to mine for the gold. I’ve also got a stack of books that I read in the past and I want to spend 1 hour reviewing because its has been a while. I think these techniques has made me a more mature consumer. What do you think about this approach?
Yes — I am ruthless about putting books down if I decide it’s not worth my time. However, as I wrote this month, sometimes I’ve sunk enough time into a book that I decide to muscle through (usually increasing the narration speed on audiobooks). I like the reviewing idea. I have been writing out quotes that I’ve enjoyed from print books into a little journal and that has helped me process those better.
Thank you for your book reviews, I really appreciate them. I think I am like your friend who does not like murder books but would be interested in a story about an elderly woman and rodent friend.

I recognize I'm probably in the minority. Let me know if you try Sipsworth!
