Do you devour or savour your book (alien.top)

Currently reading iron flame and I have been slow reading it so I can savour the book like I sometimes read 3-5 chapters a day but stop at that. I also hate that the speed readers spoil everything. Also think that reading it like it has a specific schedule like tv shows does gets me more excited to actually read it after a hard day's of work.

If i like it, then i devour it. If i cant get through 100 pages the first day, then its not my thing and I likely DNF it.

Sometimes I'm still reading at 1.00 in the morning. Husband yells at me. I say but I neeed to know how it ends.

I do both if I'm reading a series and the next book comes out I will devour it if I'm reading a standalone book I tend to save her those.
