These are the books I have yet to finish. Though, this picture is slightly deceiving. I have read City of Bones at least once. But we are going to start with the most recent to the worst. All of these I have put down for months and/or years. I have pretty much always read multiple books at a time and these are ones I have put down and not picked back up. So, here it goes.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I freaking love the shadowhunter world! These books are everything to me but I have never been one to reread books. I keep all my favorites; there is no way I can part with them. But I decided, sometime over the summer, that I was gonna read this again. I love it so very much, why not? I have 100 pages left to go and then I could say I have read a book twice. Seriously, 100 pages, that's it! Why not just do it already. But no it has sat for 6ish month just waiting to be finished again.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
This book I actually set down right before City of Bones. I am pretty sure that my bookmark was moved. I could have sworn I was way passed the 200 page mark. I really struggled with this one. I know that reading and loving a classic is not something that defines you as an "actual" reader. But I want to be able to say that I have read some of them. Or that I do really like such and such book that was written way back when. Someday, I will be able to say this. It just may not be someday soon.
After We Collided by Anna Todd
This one is really pretty bad. I started this at the beginning of the year and here we are almost to the end. These books are huge! I love this story, I really do. But I just don't know, I haven't been feeling it much these year. Not like I did at the beginning. I'll finish it, eventually. I only have maybe 300 pages left. I could finish that in a day. I really should just do it. My fear is, that if I push myself to read it when I am not feeling these type of book, I will push myself into a slump. I have been super into fantasy for so many months now, I kind of want to stay there for now.
The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon
This one is the very worst out of these. I started reading this book three years ago! I am probably half way through the book. The thing I love about these books is that I know exactly where I am in the story no matter how long it has been since I read them. Whenever I am in the mood for some Jamie and Clare, I pick this up and read. It may only be for the day or even just 50 pages, this book is always there for me.
I wouldn't say I actually dislike any of these. Even though I was struggling with Wuthering Heights, it isn't that I don't like it. I will give it a go again. Do you guys have any books you have set down and not picked back up yet?
If you do set down a book, when you pick it back up do you start all over? Or do you just continue where you left off? I tend to start where I left off. I might go back a chapter to get my bearings. Or if I didn't get very far into it to begin with, that is when I would start over.
Let me know in the comments!
Now that I am done with this post I think I will go finish that last bit of City of Bones!
Thanks for reading!
