Oh god. I do this so much, not just with books, but also with other kinds of media, and even programming projects... Sometimes I even read like 90% of a book and then for some reason start reading a completely different one and only finish the book months later.
Why not? Granted I only get through 1 or 2 books a month, but it's a minuscule part of my budget. I can't say I've looked into it, but I assume it's also the best way to actually support the author.
I'm not sure if you have to have donated before or not but i did and they gave me a link to the bot.. it works like irc where you just give it words and it returns results with links you can click to start the xfer over telegram
I switched to audiobooks. I just don't have the time to read like I used to. Originally got started on them by accident, but they've grown on me; considerably.

i also just realized you can't direct message on Lemmy? or maybe it's a limitation of Jerboa? I've never tried before but i don't see a way to dm u

The DM button is under the tripple dot menu on the desktop. I haven't used Jerboa that much so I can't say tbh. But thanks for the info!

Same, except with "game ideas that I can surely implement in a month why not"

I swear, half my drive used to be filled with unity projects I worked on for two weeks before getting bored 😅
