I have waffled when in the middle of many books – do I want to finish? Do I want to continue?
This is when I skim to decide.
But there are books I still haven’t decided what I want to do, despite a fair amount of skimming. Like the Game Of Thrones book; I came to a stop, I looked for and read scenes with some of the characters I liked best and I still haven’t decided.
I’ve been waffling for 3-4 years on it now.
Not that this is a big deal. It isn’t. But sometimes it is just hard to decide.
Haha! I waffle with the best! I start books all the time and then attention drifts and I start another and another and then I do have to decide whether or not to finish each. I like to think I eventually finish most but it sometimes takes a while.
I’ve read I think 4.5 of the 5 Game of Thrones Books. I definitely recommend it at least through book 3. Jury’s still out on everything thereafter…depends how some things pan out I think. But I say give it a go! 🙂
I do that all the time! LOL Thanks for the recommend!
Well I don’t see, to actually waffle over books but I’ve read a great many books that waffle on themselves LOL
They do? What books are those?
Yeah, I do this a lot (probably too much, lol) 🙂 Great topic for the letter ‘W’!
So do I! Thanks!
Nice word. Not one I use often but perfect for the letter W.
Thanks. A twitter friend used it in a tweet and I thought: perfect W word.
Haha, I wish I were more of a waffler! I almost always finish books, even if I don’t really like them. The busier I get, though, the more likely I am to not waffle AND not keep reading!
lol That’s good though. It means you’re done with them.
I keep forgetting Game of Thrones is a book, too. I have read more books than I can name that I had to put down before the end. Some have been very popular. I even gave some a second/third chance and found that I was right the first time. If it doesn’t grab you, it doesn’t grab you and chances are, it isn’t going to grab you the second time through.

I’ve done that too. But sometimes I feel like I have to try again.
I do waffle, but more often than not, I’ll put a book, that isn’t holding my attention, down, and not pick it up again. Life is short and there are many books to read! 🙂
True. I need to do that more.
I do waffle, I’ll admit to that! This is most often how I finish books I don’t find interesting, but have to read.
LOL You are obliged to read boring books?
Yeah, crazy right? If I start a book, I have to finish it. No mater how bad it is. This is where waffling is beneficial 😉
I don’t waffle when it comes to book. I plow through hoping that it will get better. Sometimes it does.

Umm. I can’t if I hate it.
