What Do You Do? (1)

(I meant to write/post this yesterday, but I just didn't get around to it.)

What do you do when you realize you don't like the writing style of the book you are reading? Do you give up on it & remove the book from the list? Try out another book by that author, just to be sure? Do you remove everything by that author and avoid them like the plague and move on to your next read? :p

I recently found myself bored to death by a couple of books. I always hate giving up on books, but sometimes, I feel I just have to. This led me to wonder what other readers out there do, so I thought I would share my thoughts on it and I hope you will too. :)
When I find myself not digging a book, it depends on my mood to what I decide to do. Sometimes, I stick with it, sometimes I don't. Recently, I decided to just give up and move on to the next book on my list. Because honestly, I went a little e-book crazy at the library and I have at least five more books coming in over the next few weeks, so I don't feel I really had time enough to spend more time on that book to read it any further. I also decided to remove it completely from my list. I don't want to return to it at all, because I really just wasn't enjoying it. It was dull feeling and I actually found myself wanting to fall asleep while reading it. That was just one of the books.

New Author: Suzanne Enoch. (+Series Overview: The Adventurer's Club.)

When I first picked up The Care and Taming of a Rogue, I had no idea how much I would like this new favorite author: Suzanne Enoch. Even though the Adventurers' Club series didn't go like I thought it would, like I'd hoped it would, I still really liked it. It even pushed me out of my comfort zone a little. But I'll talk about that in a little bit.
I found her books to be fun and full of little twists and surprises that I couldn't get enough of. I'm really picky about my romance authors. I definitely have a comfort zone in that genre, so naturally I was a little wary of starting a series by a new-to-me author. But that first book really hooked me. I loved the characters and the story as a whole. It was refreshing, and made me feel good about trying a new author I was unsure about.
