So today I want to talk about the books I've started this year but failed to hold my interest...
There's the blogger truth, I feel guilty when I start a book
and don't finish it.
and don't finish it.
SO guilty that I leave the bookmark in there and leave it on my shelf, telling myself I'll read it later.
Then months go by and nada... Why can't I just say "not for me" and walk away? Instead I have a pile of partially read books haunting me!
So, at what point do you label a book DNF?
Most of these reads are not offensive, I just went "meh" somewhere and life moved on.
I want to give one of them a second shot, start from the beginning and make it through.
So Let's take a look at what is waiting in limbo...
I got a little over halfway through and while I really loved the MC I just didn't get where we were going and could not see the resolution.
I really loved the first book in this series. Made it about 43% and just ran out of steam...
Crazy opening scene! Got about 25% through and was exhausted from all the shock value.
Leave a comment and tell me which book I need to give a second chance!
I just downloaded Brutal Youth and I've heard wonderful things, and I tend to love shock factors, so that one may be for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I struggled with DNFing books for a long time until I realized how badly books I didn't like put me into a slump. So I started a feature called Reshelved where I still feature them but say they weren't for me. That way, other people can read about them and see if they're something they would be interested in.
So I don't feel so bad anymore :) But it is difficult, I totally get you.
