But now that my book collection has grown exponentially thanks to my Kindle, I've started to cut down on that. My trouble with keeping myself from purchasing discount books has evolved - now I have to resist the temptation to purchase discount books in physical stores AND on the Kindle store!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798626791586581211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-14601650786430798482015-10-06T11:56:21.514-07:002015-10-06T11:56:21.514-07:00I have trouble with DNFing too, and I'm really...I have trouble with DNFing too, and I'm really bad about buying discounted books on Kindle and then finding myself unhappy with them.

I have a hard time finding a happy medium. I either join none or too many.<br /><br />I really like your #10.

I completely understand about the loaner books because not only do you feel obligated to read it, you then feel obligated to like it. Which can sometimes be a problem. DNFing books is something I had to learn because at first I felt the need to prove I could finish a book to say I read it, but now because there are just so many books in the world, I don't have time to dwell on the ones that don't really appeal to me.Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100606566359762426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-22764437630101282302015-10-06T06:38:38.550-07:002015-10-06T06:38:38.550-07:00I joined too many challenges too this year!

I'm definitely not going to be taking part in as many next year! <br />I also used to force myself to finish reading a book that I wasn't enjoying, but I can proudly say that since January 1st I have DNF 11 books in total, so I am getting better at that one!<br />I'm still struggling with the discount/sale books. Hopefully we will both beat that one soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868609458342079265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-80222101856074636452015-10-05T22:49:03.973-07:002015-10-05T22:49:03.973-07:00I'm a terrible one for #8, if a book is on sal...I'm a terrible one for #8, if a book is on sale I often buy it because it's "such good value" and then it sits on my shelf for ages.

I also buy everything that I spot if it is a book and a good deal. I just started reading several years ago and I never feel like I am going to catch up!
