Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Things I Want to Quit

Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by the Broke and the Bookish.


Today the topic is "Bookish Things I Want to Quit" and I have some of those. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to quit those habits of mine but here they are:

Finishing books that I don't really like
I have this bad habit of finishing books that I really hate. I can't help it...once I start a book, I just need to finish it...

Finishing series when I don't like the first book
Again, once I start something, I need to finish it. Even if the first book in the series is bad, I just need to see how the story will end...It may take me ages to finish the series but I will eventually do it...

Getting books from the library, although I have a ton of books on my TBR pile at home
I'm working on this one...I promise...I have my TBR Jar Challenge...which is not going so well...

Buying books, although I have a ton of books on my TBR pile at home
Seriously, I don't even have enough space where to put my current amount of books...they are just lying around on the floor...but I keep buying more and more...

Judging a book by its cover
This is a problem because sometimes the covers are so much better than the books...and after reading them, you don't want to let them go, just because of the gorgeous covers, even when you know that you will never ever read them again...

Buying next books in a series when I haven't read the first one yet
I think I don't need to explain myself for this one. We all have come across some pretty bad series.

Reading a book just because it's hyped
This is not something I want to quit but I just wanted to say that just because a certain book is hyped, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will like it...sad but true.

Not reading a book just because it's hyped
This is something I do with certain series like "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" for example. I don't see myself reading these series any time soon...

Reading books that are on "Top [insert random number here] books you should read before you die" kind of lists
I agree that some books are really important and should be read by more people, but sometimes the books from that lists are so huge and boring that I wish I have never started reading them in the first place...

Having huge TBR pile, but instead of reading I'm browsing the Internet/watching anime/playing games/watching youtube videos (about books)
I have these days when instead of reading, I'm doing something different all day long...

These are my bad bookish habits. Tell me what you think about my picks in the comments and if you have a blog post about this topic share a link and I'll be happy to read it :)

  1. I have a lot of these same book problems! I also watch youtube videos for hours and not read a word. I take out library books and don't read a single one that I actually own. Sign. Hopefully, we can fix these.

  3. I love this list and agree with all of them! The one I want to work on most in 2016 is not finishing books/series I don't like. It's just not worth it!
