Why I Rarely Do Not Finish a Book

I have a hard time giving up on a book. Like I can totally hate it and the book can be boring me like crazy, but I have to finish this book. I am an optimist and sadly I feel that even the worst book ever will at least have a quote or something that will make all of the time that I spent is worth it. For some books, I am angry at myself for not being able to quit a book. The only time that I have been able to do it was for Cybils and that was still extremely difficult to quit at 50 pages.
I think that part of the reason is that my mom is the same way. One time, we were talking about a book that she was reading and I hated it. My mom ended up hating the book, but she still finished it. I guess it might just be the need to know if I am right or not. I think that another reason is I am always guessing if the book is predictable or not and I really like when I am right. I can also not quit series, there are only one or two that I have started that I plan to never finish.
A lot of the time that I am reading isn't at home, it is in between classes, at the doctors, at the gym and on the bus. If I decide to give up on this book, I won't have anything to read until I get home, which could be hours later and in that time, I could just read the book. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else has this issue or if you are able to quit easily.

A few things...

The Debs and Little Brown are giving 100 copies of Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. I loved this book, so I suggest that you go enter, like now. Banned Books Weeks starts tomorrow. My local indie had an awesome display, I wish that I had a camera then. Here is a list from ALA of commonly banned books here.
All of the Panelists for Cybils have been announced. I want to wish all of them luck in reading all of the books. I had so much fun, when I did Cybils last year. You can nominate books pretty soon.
Lastly, new Harry Potter trailer:

OMG, I need this now!

Cybils Shortlist

Pretty much, I talk about the Cybils Finalist for Young Adult Fiction. Which were:
Blue Plate Special by Michelle D. Kwasney, Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford, Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers, How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford, Into The Wild Nerd Yonder by Julie Halpern, North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley,and Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. They were all amazing books that I loved. You can find more info about Cybils here.

In My Mailbox (Week of November 1st)

I have also decided to do NaNoWriMo on top of Cybils. So wish me luck on both counts. Who else is doing Nano? I am over 3000 words. I don't think that many of them are good, but I'll save it for editing.

If you haven't...

So, the Cybils' nominations are closed in two days. You should head over here and nominate your favorite book. It's lots of fun, promotes children's books, and I am a panelist for the YA Category. I am looking forward to reading all the great books that are nominated this years.

Cybils

Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and have no internet, you know that Cybils are going on. So, you should go nominate some of your favorite books this year for awards. Just follow the rules there.

Also, I am a panelist for Young Adult Fiction. I am really excited to be a part of this and work with everyone. I own a few of the books already nominated and haven't read them yet, so they are moved up in the reading pile. I also have a few books on hold at the library. So, I am going to try to read at least five books a week. There are 89 eligible books so far and I have only read 37 of them. So, I better get started.

Peace out, Sarah.
