Lyn Asks the June Question
Every month I ask a question because I want to know what readers are thinking. So what’s my question for June, you may ask? Here it is:
Do you always finish a book whether you’re enjoying it or not? Or do you put it away? Or throw it against the wall? ‘-)What kinds of thing causes you to stop reading or dislike what you’re reading?
This should be very interesting to me as an author! I try to write books that stick to your fingers, meaning you find it hard to put them down. I like to write books that call to you when you do put them down. So think over the question and let me know your thoughts! BTW, I guarantee that the majority of my readers will be not be able to put my latest book down. Why not look at it and see what you think.
Thanks, Lyn

I rarely DNF a book. Mostly that's because it takes a lot to get me to pick up the book in the first place. I have my go-to, proven authors, but for all the first-timers-to-me, I read the blurb, check the reviews, and if I'm interested enough, read the preview. Turn-offs are bad editing, uninteresting prose, and confusing situations. By the time I finish the preview--if I finish it--I have a pretty good idea whether I'll like it enough to invest the time. One thing I absolutely hate is a cliffhanger ending. If I've gone that far into a book's world, I want a satisfying ending for at least that story in a series.
