Series I’m DNFing

2024/1/19 Edited to

... Read moreIn the book community, DNFing (Did Not Finish) isn't just a trend; it's a reality many readers face. Whether it's a beloved series that fell flat or a new release that didn't meet our high expectations, DNFing can be a tough but necessary decision. Many popular titles have emerged in recent years, such as "The Atlas Six" and works by authors like James Patterson and Leigh Bardugo, which have garnered both fans and critics alike. A recent survey showed that approximately 70% of readers have left a book unfinished at some point. The reasons vary based on personal taste; some readers prioritize plot development while others seek character depth. When faced with series that drag on or shift in unexpected directions, it's perfectly okay to set them aside. Many book enthusiasts engage in discussions around DNFing, sharing lists of series they abandon and why. This practice helps refine taste and allows readers to focus on books that genuinely resonate with them. Platforms like BookTok have sparked a surge in conversations about DNFing, encouraging readers to voice their experiences and promote a healthier reading journey. Ultimately, reading should bring joy, and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to move on to something new if a book doesn’t capture your interest. Let's embrace those uncrossed titles together; share your DNF experiences or recommendations of must-finish series!

my ADHD has been the cause of many dropped books lol. but now that I'm on medication I figure I could go through my dnf books and see if I actually like them after all. most of the time I drop a book it's bc I find something else that grabs my attention 🤭 so far I'm enjoying myself!

Books I wish I DNF’d ❌
This was before I knew how to DNF a book and… I wish I had with these. My main reasons were either the book was way too unrealistic for a thriller/unbelievable, not age appropriate or just straight up boring 🥱 No hate if you liked these! They just were my cup of tea and that’s okay! ✨

⭐️Overall rating: 2/5:⭐️⭐️ I hate to not like a book but I couldn’t wait for this one to be over. I picked this book up because I saw a review that said it was good but honestly the only good part was the last chapter. The entire book you are waiting for something to go crazy but you just continue
