Let’s Talk About…DNF

10/29/2017

Let’s talk about DNF (Did Not Finish)

I find it so hard to stop reading a book. I want to give it a chance to get better, but 3 days later, I’m only 30% in. Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s me or the book. But when I find myself logging into Facebook nonstop instead of reading, it makes me think twice about the book I am reading.

I am very picky about the books I choose to read nowadays. I listen to a lot more than I read now and I want to be CONSUMED by a book I’m reading. So going in, I expect to like the book because it’s either an author I love, it’s been highly recommended, or the blurb really grabbed me.

Lately though, I am finding myself on social media more than reading unless a book really grabs me and I leave all responsibilities behind to read. That is happening less and less lately. Because my TBR list is so long, I would think it would be easy for me to DNF, but the thing is, I usually like the book a lot. But I want to LOVE the book. I want to forget to pick up my kid at school (not really), forget to eat (please!), and forget to update the sales here on the blog (hey, that can happen sometimes).

I can DNF a book I am REALLY not liking or one that has too many errors, but that is a very rare occurrence, maybe only 3-4 a year.

It’s those books that are OK, but take me a week to read that I wish I could DNF and move on, but they have still grabbed me enough to see it through, or it was a fine book, just nothing different about it. It would probably be a 3-4 star read for me, meaning I enjoyed it or even REALLY enjoyed it, but nothing stood out about it or totally consumed me. Meanwhile, I am skipping books that will consume me to read this.

I’m reading a book now… I really like it when I read it, but don’t find myself sneaking reads whenever I pee, instead I open Facebook or Instagram. I have to think about the story (wait, who are they again?) every time I open it back up, but then I like it again. I started a WEEK ago and I am 50% in. Admittedly, it’s longer than most, and it’s been a busy week, but still, if this book was going to be a 5 star read, I’d be done by now. OR, the age-old question I struggle with is happening—maybe it’s just me? I am just not in the mood to read?

I have put books aside and not gone back to them, so they end up being DNFs. Recently I put one aside that was just too sexy for my mood (it was during the hurricane) and went back to it and enjoyed it, so that WAS my mood. But it’s difficult to tell.

Another reason I wouldn’t mind being able to DNF more is that I won’t review a book I DNF because who knows, I may end up loving it (this HAS happened, I struggle with the first 20% only for it to be a favorite). Then I just wasted a week reading with no review at the end? I do, however mark it as DNF on Goodreads, because that’s where I keep my records for myself.

Note: Audiobooks are SO expensive, I do try to finish, but sometimes a narrator will just be a little too annoying to me and I just can’t do it. I listen to samples and read reviews on the narration now before I buy.

As you can see from this post, I don’t give up easy, but I kind of want to more. There are so many AMAZING books out there, that I feel like I am wasting my precious reading time with books that are just good and not great, you know?

What about you? Do you DNF? When or if you do, do you still leave a review?

Talk to me!!! I’ll be posting these “Let’s Talk About” posts a few times a month, maybe weekly if you all like it.

Upcoming topics include:

  • Covers
  • Book Slumps
  • Warnings
  • Spoilers
  • Book Signings

  • Books to movies
  • E-books and paperbacks
  • Words you hate in books
  • Book Trailers
  • And maybe some non-book world posts, like beauty products I love, family talk, weight and more.

Tell me! Do you DNF? Do you have a topic you’d like to see here?

    I love this idea!!!!

    When Outlander was first coming as a tv series, one of my book clubs started a group read in preparation for the show. I hadn’t done one before and was excited thinking this was going to be an amazing story….I mean, everyone in my book club was raving about it and they were making it into a tv series afterall…..

    So I borrowed it from a local library and dove in……2 library renewals and 3+ years later, I haven’t made it past page 30…..I just can’t do it. Cannot get into the book and I’m not really sure why.

    I’ve holding off on the show because I wanted to read the books first but at this point I doubt it’ll ever happen

    I know what you mean. I am looking for an epic novel, one that makes me forget everything and look up 8 hours later, wondering why the family is home so soon. Lately, the books have seemed cookie cutter in a sense. You do way better than me…I give a book until 10% to grab me or I’m Dnf’ing it. I, too, listen to audibles and sometimes the narrators can ruin what might be a five star book….so I do commiserate with you on this 100%

    When I first started reading regularly, there was a series that I absolutely hated, but I was too curious to see if it got better and what happened. I wish I saved my money and time and DNF. I very rarely find myself DNF’ing, but like you I also am more selective with my choices. I also pick my next read by my mood. I’m putting off reading one of my favorite author’s newest release, because I can’t do sad right now. I am looking forward to it as soon as the mood strikes me, though.

    I feel we are all in the same book “boat” here. We are becoming more picky about what we read because we have been graced with some amazing reads over the years, but I think there has been and over saturation to some degree of romance since fifty shades. So I find myself like most of us being picky and really investigating the books I read/listen to more than I did 4-5 years ago. I also find myself not sticking it out like I used to if a book doesn’t hook me by 10% I’m DNF’ing it and I can’t review it. And if the narrator is annoying I turn it right off, that will just ruin it, especially since the whispersync price just went up. I find I’m saving up my credits for narrators I know I’ll love.
    It breaks my heart to DNF a book because someone’s heart and soul goes into a book and a piece of them is left open for the world to criticize when we read someone’s work. So maybe it’s not my cup of tea per chance but it may be someone else’s and I hope that’s the case.

    OMG I LOVE THIS!!! I have started a few books and have not finished them. Some people it just didn’t grab me, some because it was a that was dragging on and on and I lost interest. The ones that didn’t grab me I will normally try again later, could have been my mood and not the book. If I try again and still nothing it would have to have a lit of people telling me to try again. Sad to say it but Twilight took me 3 months to get past chapter 2 or 3, my sister read it (before the hype) and loved it. She kept pushing me to keep going. She was right once I got past those first few chapters I was hooked!!!

    I don’t think I have ever left a review for a DNF, I think that just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean other wont. I think I would have to have a major issues with it for me to leave a review on a DNF.

    So along these lines (but not the kind of books you are talking about I’m sure) Harry Potter books were like this for me. I watched all the movies and loved them. But I could not finish one of those books. I’d try to read the book, set it aside and then the movie would come out. I’d watch it and live it. So I’d pick up the book again but still couldn’t finish it. Lest you think I’m an instant gratification kind of gal, I read Twilight Series and Fifty Shades cover to cover over and over. I’ve read Sylvia Day, Meredith Wild, Kristy Bromberg, and many others too. But I still can’t read Harry Potter. Maybe I need romance to suck me in. I don’t know. But I understand where you are coming from. I, too, am tired of the same storyline. Rich man who seemingly can’t love is sucked into a romance by an off limits, clueless femme fatale and instantly starts romancing her but doesn’t realize he is until she unwittingly breaks his stony heart. There has got to be other ideas out there! Right now I’m kind of on a book hiatus of sorts. Looking for a different story.

    This happens alot to me too!! I’m just not feeling a book, it’s been alot lately!! I’m always wondering “is it just me?!” I rarely dnf a book, once I start it it seems like I have to finish it! My bestie will be like what do you mean you didn’t like it?! Lol that’s usually when I think is it just me?! But more so lately I’m bored with alot of “good” books, idk if I’m just bored with reading? I’m really not sure what it is but I do have about 10 books that are anywhere from 20%-50% that I just couldn’t get into! Idk if they’ll be dnf yet cos I’m still thinking I’ll go back to them, but who knows?!

    I have DNF’d books and do put them in a folder on Goodreads with a “not for me” and no review. I really hate when I get a book to review and I just can’t get into it. I feel so bad because I typically have had contact with the author personally.

    I try really hard to not DNF, because anymore it is just too expensive. This is why I normally just stick with the authors that I love. I used to try so many new authors and sometimes I wonder am I missing a good read? But then I worry I won’t like it and just wasted my money to even try.

    I’m seriously not gonna lie this is what I just got out of my mouth yesterday. I read a lot! I have almost 3k books on my kindle and I’ve done that in 3-4 years. I hurt my back and I’m not able to work and going on surgery number 6 I read to escape plane and simple! Lately I haven’t been reading as many new books but rereading old ones and finding myself getting trapped into watching tv! I’m not a Tv person. I just wish authors I love would write faster and new ones would branch out.

    I use to feel bad not finishing a book because I hate to waste money and my precious free time. However lately over the past few months I’ve read some really ridiculous stuff that sounds good it doesn’t deliver. I wish I could read for a living because I love it so much but unfortunately I have to work lol. So my reading time is too important to me to finish something I can’t get into. I don’t even bargain with myself about a certain percentage before I stop. If im not feeling it I quit. I save it just in case I want to go back but honestly 9 times out of 10 I don’t.

    Like you, it takes A LOT…and I mean A LOT for me to DNF a book. And I can even go as far to say that the same for a series. Even if I don’t LOVE it, I feel like I’m invested and I need to know how it all ends (book and series, unless the series isn’t complete).

    I also need to be in the right mood. I will come back to it though! I paused on a book after 2 chapters, because I KNEW it was going to be emotional, but I wasn’t ready for emotional…I needed comfortable. So instead, I picked up Rock Chick and reread the whole series (because I can’t do just one… lol).

    I was reading the latest installment in a series last week and honestly, I wish I had DNFed. I was so excited for it, stalked the release and everything only to be on 41% after 5 days. I literally read the same 4 sentences in some variation at least half a dozen times each before finally hitting that mark. The only reason I finished was out of idle curiosity. And i felt horrible for DNFing because I loved other books by the author. I’ve DNFed on goodreads maaybe 7 times because of poor storyline. I’ve read books where the sample caught my eye but after buying the book, it all goes downhill. Then there are other times where I think I’m in the mood for a book only to just get bored with my own brain. ADD at its best doesn’t help either.

    I rarely DNF. I’m pretty particular about what I read and try to switch up my genres to keep things feeling fresh. I have not and would not review a book I did not complete. If a book has a lot of errors, I know I won’t enjoy it so, those will likely go in my DNF folder on Goodreads. I do think mood has a lot to do with how much I’m going to like or love a book. Also, I’m not a big fan of insta-love. I prefer a slow burn of attraction that develops into something more as the characters get to know each other. Honestly, I’m working on not finishing more mediocre books because there are just too many great ones out there.p

    I too have tried to weed out all the mediocre books or novellas and read something that is more. In the romance genre, there is so much mediocre stuff that I am branching out and reading other things as well which is good in a way, but I love romance and it’s hard to find one with some meaning in it. All these 200+ page quick reads have just saturated the market, but I have started to spend maybe a little more but get an actual book with a plot, storyline, great dialog and characters! If I do not finish a book I do not post a review, as I do not know if it is me or my mood or the book itself. I also like to read reviews to see what other people have said, like you Ana! If you like it usually I will like it also!

It was light, a little cheesy and predictable, but I still enjoyed listening to every word. Samantha did a fabulous job of transporting us to this little English town and falling for the townspeople and the bookstore.

“You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “ “You may think you’re dark,” I told him. “And I’m finding you are. Dark like this.” I indicated the room with a sweep of my flute. “Edged in gossamer and crystal. Lit with fire. A beautiful cocoon where I feel safe, truly safe, for the first time in my life.”

Though it took me a long time to finally try, The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley is one of my all-time favorite series. So I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear that Kit wrote another book in the series! I think Gossamer in the Darkness by @kristenashleybooks is enough to pull in the last holdouts who think they don’t want to read fantasy.

We obliged, but because of my age and I had lupus, the pregnancy was high-risk. At 17 weeks I had an amniocentesis. 2 weeks later we got the devastating news that our baby, the sibling my son was begging for, had some major genetic abnormalities, plus heart problems. If she survived the birth she would need multiple surgeries & would likely never leave the hospital. 

We made the most devastating decision to end the pregnancy. The baby we made FOR my son would just crush him. It would take me away from him. He would watch her suffer and be in pain. And how would we pay for it all?

Four months after, I became pregnant again with my wonderful son who is now 16.  Despite 8 years difference, he and his brother are best friends. They have both had a great life with a mom who was fully present for both of them.

I thank Roe v Wade every day that I was able to make that CHOICE. It was the most devastating, horrible decision we ever had to make. But it was the RIGHT CHOICE, both for that baby & my family. Plus, my son wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that CHOICE. These decisions are NEVER easy. They are deeply personal and usually horrific. 

Until the government can pay to keep all these babies fed, clothed and homed. Until they can pay for medical bills and the parents to leave work, until they can provide for the needs of the babies women are forced to have, they need to stay out of our bodies. I’m scared for the future of all of our rights.

“Oh, I’ll give you hot flashes.”

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

When the author of your all-time favorite series r When the author of your all-time favorite series releases the first book from the male POV, you run to read it and hope it doesn’t ruin it for you. I’m happy to say @jfrostauthor just made me love Cat and Bones more. 

If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.
