Answer questions
Tag other poor souls to do this
Easy right?
Oh and only use books that you DNF as your answer hence the “to not to read” part
What book would you be willing to finish?
I am MORE than willing to finish this one. I originally put it don because I was reading it on my train journey into and from work and I just wasn’t getting anything spooks from it because I was in such a busy environment. I need to book a day off and just spend it on my own, snuggled up in bed, reading this book.
A dystopian book you put down
This question is really specific! I haven’t read many dystopians, and the ones I have, I’ve actually read, so no answer for this question.
A book that you didn’t want to finish at all
I literally read 25 or so pages of this book and put it down. It’s the dumbest book ever. Do not read.
A sequel you didn’t read
This is a very recent DNF. I couldn’t hack the second one from the “The Collector series”.
A book you’ll never pick up again
There is literally nothing you can do, apart from maybe threatening to kill my mum, to try and get me to read this piece of trash again.
A book with too much hype
I couldn’t really find a book that has too much hype but this has done really well… for some reason. This novel was a full on cringey read.
A haunting read
I don’t really get this one… but I’ve gone for a book that I guess was supposed to be scary…
A contemporary
I’m honestly not even sure what “contemporary fiction” is, but Googling it, apparently it’s a book that’s pretty realistic, so I’ll go for this one which is about a gathering where some guy slaps a child that’s not his, and then there are several different reactions to it from each couple.
A book you were unsure of
I very almost gave up on this one because it drags a bit towards the middle, but I’m glad I didn’t in the end, because I really enjoyed it overall!
That’s all for this tag everyone! I hope you enjoyed seeing my answers and having a sneak peek into some of my DNF books.
I’m not going to tag anyone, because I’m such a tagging fiend and I’m probably pissing a lot of people off. But, if you like the look of this tag, consider yourself tagged by me!

Great post! A good way to have a look back through your DNF’d books! Luckily I don’t have many of them!

All of the opinions I’ve seen on The Roses of May make me sad. The Butterfly Garden was so good so I was expecting this one to be great, too. I probably won’t even pick it up at this point. Sigh.

I think it’s still getting good reviews, it’s just a disappointment in comparison 😔

Great post- glad you did this 😀 I’m too afraid to pick up the first one in the Collector’s series, so I get why you’d put down the second one for sure!!

It’s a shame the second wasn’t up to scratch because I really loved the first one when I read it last year!

I can’t read Pride & Prejudice either but I loved Local Girl Missing. I might do this tag, it looks fun and I’ve DNFed a few books recently.

I found Local Girl Missing too romanticy and the main character was too much of a cliche for me lol 🙂

Too bad you didn’t like Pride and Prejudice 😦 And The Shining is a really good book, it was my first Stephen King and since then I’ve been addicted to him.

I can’t wait to finish it. I’m going to have to lock myself away over a weekend to get it read though 🙂
