What book did you DNF?
These are just my personal opinions on these particular books. There are more books that I DNF’d last year, but these were kind of the top choices. Sometimes I just can’t get into a book because of how boring the start is or how uninterested I get by the first chapter or two. There was an audiob

Almost DNF… but somehow I did🤷♀️
⭐️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

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! ✨

DNFs from this week
DNF in the book world refers to “did/do not finish” these are books you started but ultimately decided we’re not worth your time in the end. I had a high DNF week. I read 4 books and I DNFed 4 books. Two of those books I did not start though because I read book 1 of the trilogy and decided not

Do you believe in stopping a book if you’re not interested? Or do you power through? Also second chances? (Sometimes the book isn’t hitting your mood. Might be readers flaw and not the book?) There are just a few I have powered through because I believed that I HAD to finish it. BUT recentl

Just a warning, I’m going to be very blunt in how I explain this: when I first started the book, I thought it was decent. Not great, but not the worst writing. And then I got halfway through and the more I kept reading the more it felt like a badly scripted p*rn I was honestly really disappointe

Do you DNF books?
For those who don’t know, DNF refers to “DID NOT FINISH” when you start a book but don’t finish for any reason. What I want to know is how long do you give a book before you DNF? 25 pages? 50? 100? I liked the premise of this book but I’m really struggling because the beginning is so slow…

I really tried to push through, but I could NOT get past chapter 7 😣 This one ended up being a DNF for me. The biggest issue was the writing style. It felt super repetitive… short sentences, the “not this but that” structure over and over. I honestly felt like I was reading the same thing eve

DNF
Yeaaa soo I knew that I didn’t like romance books but this book really sealed the deal for me. I honestly feel like the author put wayy too much detail into the paragraphs (idk if that makes sense). Like she would spend one paragraph just talking about what a side character was wearing. Like okay.?

are you a book DNF-er? 👀
For anyone unaware, “DNF” stands for “did not finish” and is when readers dislike a book so much they just stop reading it in the middle and never finish it… 😬 Do you ever DNF books? Let us know if you do and why or why not in the comments below! ⬇️ I honestly really struggle with DNF-ing books…
