What to do if I Don't Like My Current Book

Welcome to Sunrise Avenue!

Increase Blog Followers

Time for another Feature & Follow Friday! I love these! A chance to find great new book blogs?? Oh yeah! 

Please feel free to follow anyway you choose; I want you to pick a way that is comfortable and something you use daily. I often feel forced to follow via Bloglovin' when I prefer Feedly. I hope you lovely visitors don't feel that way while visiting here!

Also, please check out my Twitter (@sunrise_books) for an easy way to keep up with my blog postings and life! Thanks :)

Now, for this week's question: 

 How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?


I am torn on this topic. I always try to make sure I read more than just the first few pages. Sometimes books do start off badly, but then pick up carrying me through to a spectacular ending. If a book is still fighting for my attention and I couldn't care less about the plot, I DNF. Eep. I am finally admitting it, even to myself! Since starting my book blog though, I have more than enough books to be reading and there just isn't enough time in the world to waste on a bad book. 

BUT! Sometimes I do power through. Right now I am reading And All The Stars and I knew after the first three chapters that I wouldn't like it. That unless a miracle happened I wouldn't be rating it above a two. But the plot itself is interesting. In more talented hands, the book could have some great potential, especially since I just ran into a plot twist. So I am powering through, just for the sake of plot. Sigh. 

How about you?? DNF or power through?? Can't wait to read all your answers!

Follow Friday (1)

Welcome to Sunrise Avenue!

Increase Blog Followers

This is my first ever Feature & Follow! I am totally excited! I want to find more book blogs to be following on my Feedly! 

I love Feedly more than Bloglovin' (am I the only one??), but feel free to follow anyway you would like, including Twitter (@sunrise_books) or Goodreads (Alyssa Zech).

This week's question:

What do you do with your books after you're done reading them?

Answer: Shelve them! Currently I have one tall shelf for fiction alphabetized by author's last name, and another for non-fiction divided by section (cookbook, family, womanhood, etc) and then by author. But now I have so many books that I can't fit them in where they belong! So they sorta just hang out, stacked where ever I put them. 

BUT! If anyone has some hints on how to organize Kindle books, I would great appreciate it!! I wish I could organize them somehow to make finding what I want to read so much easier! 

Have a great weekend!!
