Did I finish this book or did it finish me? 🫶🏽🫠

I knew it would be heavy. Everyone said so. But nothing — and I mean nothing — prepared me for how A Little Life actually gets under your skin. How it moves through you. Before starting, I even saw someone recommend a website where you can check content warnings for books (doesthedogdie.com), y

Some books are just books—you read them, you enjoy them, and you move on. A Little Life? Yeah… that’s not one of those books. This one wrecked me. It chewed me up, spit me out, and left me staring at the ceiling in emotional ruin.I knew it would be sad, but I severely underestimated just how much t

⭐️ Just finished this, and to be honest I’m still kind of speechless. Although this is a VERY dark book, it was definitely soo good IN MY OPINION. If you want to take a crack at it, PLEASE check your TW before‼️The plot was insane, and I wanted to personally fight some of the characters….. but the

Jahquel is this years “it girl” when it comes to writing. Another hit was published. This was book number 89 of the year and even though I wasn’t necessarily itching to read it, I’m glad I did. Now I’m waiting for Goon & Zoya’s story 😊. #lemon8bookclub #Lemon8Diary #unfiltered #bookworm

A brown puppy sleeps on a gray blanket on a couch. Text overlays read 'LET'S CHAT...', 'D.N.F Edition', and 'WHAT BOOK DID YOU DNF?', indicating a discussion about books not finished.

Two book covers are shown: 'FOX8' by George Saunders and 'Tell Me You Want Me' by Willow Winters. The accompanying text explains both books were DNF'd because the reader got bored quickly.

The book cover for 'In Five Years' by Rebecca Serle is displayed. Text explains the book was DNF'd due to an 'ick' about the main character potentially cheating on her fiancé with a random guy.

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
