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

⚰️ DNF Graveyard: Another One Bites the Dust…
Today’s resident: Betrothed to Love by Charity Shané. 📚💀 I gave it a fair chance… but sometimes a book and a reader just aren’t the right match. Not every DNF means it’s a bad book—it just means it wasn’t working for me. Maybe I’ll revisit it one day… maybe not. 😭 Now I need to know… 📖

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…

Yeah DNF
For the first time ever My son and I DNF a book! It was funny to see the reaction on my son’s face when I said we are done with this book! He was like finally MOM! But we are moving on to a more serious read in preparation for our trip on the 2nd! We will be reading Night by Elie Wisiel!

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’m not one to not finish a book typically I’ll just start skimming until I finish it but I had barely started reading this one when I decided to stop. Don’t get me wrong I was excited for it and a lot of the reviews I saw were good but it just wasn’t the vibe. I’m hoping to try again in a few mon

I'm always down to DNF a book with the quickness. I will never ride the struggle bus! • This is the first book I DNF in 2025. I was so bored, but wanted to like this thriller so I could post a review on booktok. • The Guest List didn't make the cut, but I'm going to give Lucy Foley

What book have you DNF?
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

The Art of the D.N.F. (Did Not Finish)
I have a really bad habit of always finishing books even if I don’t like them. I like to think that it is because I want to give a book a chance to redeem itself, but even when it doesn’t look like a book will get better I still finish it. Enter the DNF. Did Not Finish. I have DNF’d only one boo

I wanted to absolutely LOVE this book! I mean Harry Potter meets Gilmore Girls! What’s not to love?!?! The concept is there! But I DNF’d for these reasons: 1.) too many people introduced at once, I couldn’t keep up with who was who 2.) mythical creatures that I couldn’t picture/ description w

Why do you DNF?
I’m sure I’m going to get backlash for some of these books, but I just didn’t think they were THAT good. Overhyped and underwritten was my opinion on a few of these— and then some tropes were another reason why I DNF’d or wished I had. #dnfbook #lemon8bookclub #readingwrapup

Yes I did. But not because it was bad. It was mostly my fault honestly. Between being a huge mood reader and not understanding the first chapter and prologue I was just confused. I’m going to start with the show and get a better understanding and go from there and try a reread. What I was readi
