I Might Have to DNF My First Book

I got my kindle a couple months ago and my grandma bought me kindle unlimited for a year. I heard such great things about this book but I’m having such a hard time getting into it and it’s been in my library for so long. 😫 Did anyone else have a hard time getting into it?

If you're feeling challenged by a book, you're not alone! Many readers encounter stories that are hard to dive into, even when they come highly recommended. 'Haunting Adeline' by H.D. Carlton has captured attention with its intriguing plot, yet for some, like myself, it can present hurdles. If you're considering abandoning a book (DNFing), it may help to reflect on what you're looking for in a story. Are you more interested in character development, world-building, or a gripping plot? This self-examination can guide you toward books that align better with your tastes. There are also different strategies to improve your reading experience: consider reading a summary or discussion online to determine if the story picks up later. Check out platforms like BookTok or Bookstagram for insights from fellow readers who share their thoughts on overcoming similar challenges. Engaging with the community can often turn a frustrating reading experience into a delightful one, enhancing your literary journey!

Not alone. It took me like 2 months to finish this book, because I wasn’t into it at first. Then about half way, I started to love it!

sassy_saturday🥝

I practically devoured this book. but it's completely fine if it's not for you. also, I've had many books I've put down bc I wasn't I to them, just to pick it back up later and love it.

My first book on my DNF list

I’d never believed I could put a book on a DNF list. I’m one of those people that could start watching a crappy movie, and I’ll watch it until the end just because I feel like I already invested time in starting it and now I gotta see it through. So naturally I would feel that way about books too.

Books I wish I DNF’d ❌
