Everyone has books that they dislike or don’t read or DNF.

But I cannot have them.

I do understand that it’s because the audience is humongous in my case.

But I find it hypocritical when people have books that they dislike themselves but it’s not acceptable for me to even remove it from my shelf on Goodreads or return it.

It’s gotten to a point that it’s extremely scrutinizing.

It sucks away the fun of reading.

Hence I would like to be private about these things.

I will be updating the “currently reading” and “read” books on my goodreads and fable because I like to keep track of what I have read.

But that’s all I would be doing.

..

I’m sorry, it’s just too frustrating.

So I decided to do this.

It makes life easier for me.

Also,

I don’t want any author to feel bad or take it personally when I add or remove a book from my shelf.

My intention might be something else.

But since it has all these repercussions, I’m taking a step back.

..

There is no such thing as a bad book, it’s just right book wrong time.

Every book is valuable because the author puts in their time, effort and energy into it.

Their heart and soul into writing it.

So the value retains no matter what.

I don’t want to hurt anyone by moving things around and give any wrong impression that the book is not good.
