Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week there is a new topic and this week’s topic is: Ten Bookish Things I Want to Quit Or Have Quit
This is just a list of books that I didn’t end up finishing for whatever reason:
Lumiere by Jacqueline Garlick – DNF 20%
A Whole New World by Liz Braswell – DNF 41%
Hunter by Mercedes Lackey – DNF 6%
Ghosts of Shanghai by Julian Sedgwick – DNF 11%
Devil’s Daughter by Hope Schenk-de Michele et al – DNF 3%
Bombs Away by Harry Turtledove – DNF 2%
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz – DNF 90% (I had to turn it back in before I could finish!)
Boywatching by Chloe Bennet – DNF 5%
Mindset by Carol Dweck – DNF 37%
You Are Here by Jennifer E Smith – DNF 34% (I definitely still plan on finishing, but other stuff got in the way!)
Any on here that I should give another try?
“Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz – DNF 90% (I had to turn it back in before I could finish!)” I heard this one is really good! It’s on my TBR list.

Sadly, I have not heard about any of these books. But, why do you think you DNF? My DNF’s were The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Adhehi and Ice Kissed by Amanda Hocking. I was just not feeling it.

A lot of the time I DNF because I can’t take the book seriously for whatever reason. Usually it’s because the tone of the main character or narrator is too immature–those are the ones that I tend to drop quickly. Sometimes I just can’t get into a book and end up dropping it about halfway through.

Haha yeah….honestly, I feel like I might have been able to get into it, but the beginning was going so slow and I had a bunch of other ARCs to get to.

Hi! I hate when I have to return a book before I’m finished. That just happened with Emily Giffin’s The One and Only. But it was sooo long! haha
