There are two types of readers, those who will do anything to finish a book if they hate it because they want to give every book a chance (no book left behind!). And there are others who abandon a book from the very first few pages if they don't feel it’s a good fit for them because, well, life is too short.
I just gave up on The Magnolia Palace. I only got 40 pages into it and realized that this was not my cup of tea! I wasn't interested in the characters or the story and I didn't want to force myself to read a book that I wasn't into, especially when there are so many other books that I can't wait to read! For me, when I force myself to read a boring book, it puts me in a reading slump. So it's not worth it.
