One thing is time invested. If the book has been interesting, there is no reason to let the time invested go to waste; finish it. The better reason is I love to experience the journey with the characters. I enjoy watching them change and grow, or not change and grow, and sometimes I grow and change with them.
Find books you find actually interesting. If its not, you wont care to get to the end. I do the same thing too. Another way is to make sure you give yourself enough time to get invested. Find a cozy place to read at a time you have nothing else to do. If you read for hours at a time, you’ll be more likely to actually want to finish the book.
With books, if you don’t want to finish it then that is not the book for you, you need to find a book that you love and can’t wait to finish! Find the right genres for you and read them!
Read a book that you’re really into. If u like horror then just read horror. If u like romance then just read romance. It’s easier to finish books if you read things u like.📖📖📖📚
It depends on the book. Some hold stories that begin to drag, making finishing them more of a hassle. Then there are those that are too good that felt like finishing them was a crime. The main thing that helps me is in curiosity. I want to see how it ends; I want to know what the finished picture and the end of this domino effect looks like. My only exception to this is with mystery novels. For these, I challenge myself to find an answer and at the end I want to know if I was right in my own deductions made while reading.
First, I use a technique of being my book to everywhere I go, it’s a simple habit, I’m obliged to read, but I must take it everywhere. What happens is that the simple habit of be with a book with me, “under my arm” makes me read at different times of the day, every time I don’t have nothing else to do. So, particularly, I am the one who likes to finish a book, I have a book list to read and I feel really excited when I check each one as a read one.
Try to read them faster, usually we get into a part of a book that is not that interesting so we are tempted to just start something new that “we will like from the start to the end” but not many things in life work that way, so if you are stuck, stop reading and the next day or in a short period of time try to pass that chapter; also choosing your type of books (most of writers are not really good at giving a nice ending to the stories, try to read recognized authors like Nobel price winners, they do know how to write) and finally, try to have a constant reading habit
I usually read just before going to bed, that way I lie in bed thinking about all the characters and dream of the possibilities for the next part of the story - that way I’m excited to keep reading and find out if I had guessed correctly in any of my possibilities.
Lol I have to have something that I’m really interested in. Right now reading on how to start over. The book is called Undo it. Good read!
The anticipation of how the story will end keeps me reading. Plus writers leave clues so sometimes you can figure out what’s going to happen. Other times there are plot twists that blindside you.
