New for 2015: I surrendered a handful of books after my heretofore strict 50-page rule. Prior to this, if I would always finish a book once I had read 50 pages. Extending myself some grace, I started allowing myself to "quit" a book if it still sucked once I'd crossed that previously adhered-to boundary. Among them were Insurgent by Veronica Roth, The Children's Crusade by Ann Packer, Off the Page by Jodi Picoult, The Golden Circle by Doris Lessing.
