There seem to be two ways this happens with me. When I get done reading a book, I sometimes:
a) notice a book on my TBR list that I think would be a perfect follow-on to the one I just finished.
b) while I'm reading or finishing a book, I see one of the nominations in the monthly poll that would be a perfect follow-on and it doesn't win the poll.

I'm sure there are other ways to hit upon a title that you'd love to read right after the one you're finishing, but it's a time crunch.

Does that make sense? Sometimes a book is perfect timing, and when it is, it's much more enjoyable.

Reading a good book at the wrong time can make it less meaningful, at least I've had that happen. I have a few DNF'd books I want to give a second chance. Hey, maybe that would be a challenge possibiity: Second Chance Books, try again with a book you abandoned and see if you can finish and if you changed your opinion from the first time you attempted it.

Sorry, just seeing this. Yeah that sounds just about like my experience.

And I like the second chance idea in theory, but for myself, i probably wouldnt have many second chance books, because i rarely dnf books and when i do, i dont usually find a reinterest in them until like a decade or more later. But it might be a good idea for people who dnf a lot of books due to lack of time when they start reading it due to being busy or just in a different mood.
