I can understand the feeling, sometimes you just aren't in the mood for something. In my opinion, it's completely fine to leave it, you can always come back to it later, if you are in the mood, or not, nothing wrong with either. Life is too short, and there are enough books and tv/movies out there that we will never run out. So, why waste time on something that we aren't fully enjoying?

Same! D2 is right up there for me, one of my childhood favourites.

I was so excited to complete the bingo challenge I'm reluctant to abandon the book, but usually I'm very much the same as you and drop books whenever I lose interest.

At this point though I'm starting to really resent the bingo. I'm just too slow of a reader, it's going to be a struggle to finish it before April.

Yeah, I used to do these challenges before, but sometimes they become a chore. Why not change the rules for yourself a bit, if the book becomes a drag, you can just leave it midway, and consider it done for the bingo challenge. That's what I do now, if I have have given it my best, for me it is as good as done.

Of course, if this is some kind of competition, then you should either finish it completely or don't mark that item, but these bingo cards are just for fun, and made to broaden your reading genre/author/etc, so you decide how you take them.

I'm only in competition with myself, I suppose, but I did really want a custom flair for the subreddit... Which I no longer visit since joining here... Hmm. It's beginning to feel less important.
