I Don't Want to Die Poor: Essays | Michael Arceneaux

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!

rubyslippersreads I want to read

Princes at War: The Bitter Battle Inside Britain�s Royal Family in the Darkest Days of WWII

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. 📚 5y

High Dive: A novel | Jonathan Lee

#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! 5y

merelybookish I finished 2 of these (S&S and High Dive) but disliked them both a lot!! 5y

KarenUK @merelybookish you‘ve made me feel so much better! I hate to DNF but I guess I picked right! 5y

1Q84 | Haruki Murakami

#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. 5y

BiblioLitten I left CRA when I had less than a hundred pages left. 5y

Traci1 I DNFed Life After Life too. 5y

Reviewsbylola Funny, I bailed on Life After Life too and Lydia Bird. I will give Lydia another shot when I‘m in the mood for it but LAfterL is a hard no for me. 5y

Sace I really like the cover for The Passion. 5y

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). 5y
