#Idnfed

Circling the Sun ☀️ too many characters!!!
House of Sand and Fog - I really can‘t remember... it‘s been so many years!

Hunger- #Unpopularopinion Even when bad things happen to you, you can choose to move past it OR you can choose to blame your parents and everyone else and write about it in a book. I couldn‘t finish it, just seemed like pages and pages of self pity... I speak as a survivor of sexual abuse who moved past it.

Ruthiella I DNFed The House of Sand and Fog too. It was just so bleak and easy to see where it would (tragically) end up. 4y
SamAnne @Ruthiella I didn‘t like Hunger either. Maybe for different reasons. I skimmed the second half. 4y

emilyhaldi Oh my gosh I hated Hunger and felt the same way as you!! It‘s certainly an unpopular opinion but I really can‘t stand Gay‘s writing for that reason 🙊 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @emilyhaldi I‘m soooo happy someone agrees with me!!!!! 🎉🎊👍🏻 4y

Usually when I DNF, I fully intend to finish at some point! I just lose steam and think, "I'll set it aside for now and come back to it later." Here are #3Books #IDNFed that I *will* pick up again someday! Really!

Andrea313 @rubyslippersreads I got about a third of the way through it, and just tapered off. But I truly do want to finish it! If you get there before me, I look forward to your review. 📚 4y

#3books #IDNFed
It‘s REALLY rare for me DNF a book, as my super power seems to be knowing what I‘ll like! 😂
If I DNF it‘s usually for a challenge or a bookclub (but I try and finish those too!)

-Sense and sensibility just didn‘t work as a modern re-telling as it didn‘t ring true for the modern world.
-High Dive I wanted to love, as it‘s set in the 80s in my home town, but I just couldn‘t get into it.
- The Turner House just didn‘t grab me 🤷‍♀️

OriginalCyn620 I DNF‘ed the Trollope retelling too! 4y
merelybookish I finished 2 of these (S&S and High Dive) but disliked them both a lot!! 4y
KarenUK @merelybookish you‘ve made me feel so much better! I hate to DNF but I guess I picked right! 4y

#3books #iDNFed

I used to never give up on books, but the older I get, the easier it's gotten. I dnf books all the time now. These 3 are somewhat unique in that I have tried multiple times to read each one. Twice with Night Circus and CRA. I got pretty far into 1Q84 on my 4th try. None are bad books. But for some reason I find myself putting them down and not picking them back up. Maybe one day.

Ladygodiva7 The only book I could dnf would be the weird ones in the 1001 list, but I haven‘t yet. All the other books are ones I really wanted to read. I can‘t bring myself to quit on any yet. 4y
BiblioLitten I left CRA when I had less than a hundred pages left. 4y

Sace I really like the cover for The Passion. 4y

eeclayton @Sace I agree it looks nice, but it didn't hold my attention. I actually read (or rather, DNFed) another edition, if I remember correctly (it was a library book). 4y
