Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment on that week’s post with a link or trackback so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment on that week’s post with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments section for that week’s post and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.

Writing Wrongs 
Have fun with this! Coming up with weekly prompts was always fun!
Thank you for letting me relaunch it!
OK, so this is kind of a multi-part prompt, so it might not work, but I’m curious: What do people consider a “difficult book”? If they’ve finished it, what kept them going? If they didn’t, do they think they might ever return to it? Why/why not?
Oh, I love this prompt. It sounds like a good one for February. Thanks!
