Should I DNF?

I liked Gideon the ninth. Although it was hard for me to get into. Now I am on Harrow and I want to DNF but I already bought Nona. Now I feel like I have to push through and read them because I already paid for them. Maybe I will just treat them as decor. I don’t know. Has anyone finished these is it worth it to get through the very confusing Harrow?

... Read moreDeciding whether to DNF (Did Not Finish) a book can be a tough choice for many readers, especially when you've already invested in the series. 'Gideon the Ninth' has garnered a strong following for its captivating characters and unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy, while the sequel, 'Harrow the Ninth,' presents a more complex narrative that can leave readers feeling confused. Readers often debate the merits of completing a series versus cutting their losses. If you find 'Harrow' difficult, consider the overall themes and character development. Many fans argue that persevering through 'Harrow' may provide crucial context for the anticipated release of 'Nona the Ninth,' making the struggle worthwhile. Alternatively, it's essential to remember that reading is ultimately about enjoyment. If a book feels like a chore, it might be worth setting it aside. Engaging with online communities such as BookTok or following dedicated discussions on platforms like Goodreads can provide insight into others' experiences. Hearing directly from those who have finished the series can help you make an informed decision. You may find that your hesitation is shared by many, sparking discussions that could reignite your interest or validate your choice to DNF. Ultimately, the decision should align with your reading preferences and enjoyment.

Should I DNF?!
I have really been on the fence about DNF’ing Fourth Wing. I’m a thriller, mystery, drama type girl. I’m trying to get into Fantasy but this one isn’t doing it for me yet. I’m already at chapter 33 and can’t remember anything I read thus far 😢 #fourthwing #bookrecs #rebeccayarros #onyxstorm

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! ✨
