Katy James @katyjameswriter.bsky.social · 12/11/2024I just DNF’ed a perfectly fine book, because life is too short to read books you don’t love 131153
Marly Marie @marlymarieport.bsky.social · 12/11/2024It took me years to just stop reading a book, but once I made that mental switch it is so much better. 010
Adam @adaminthe.bsky.social · 12/11/2024I did that with a trilogy during the final entry. Nothing wrong with the series but I felt it within me that I didn't need to complete it. 000
Lida Bushloper @lida-writer.bsky.social · 12/11/2024I agree with a few exceptions. I had given up on Death Comes for the Archbishop but restarted it for a book club and became a convert. Recently restarted Table for Two (Towles) which I had abandoned. Now I can't put it down. 010
Pamela Sherwood @pamelasherwood.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Co-signed! I used to push myself through, hoping it would improve. But these days, if a book doesn't hook me by a certain point, I just stop. 010
Dr Phil Dixon @philipjdixon.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Hilarous to see 'DNF' used in this context; I've only ever heard it wrt someone retiring from a race! Also, I've DNF-ed 99% of all the books I've ever started, so there's that too... 000
LadyGardener @ladygardener68.bsky.social · 12/11/2024If they get boring half way through I skip to the end. 010
Ace Combs Art @acecombsart.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Was it Ulysses? Please tell me it was Ulysses. That fucker Joyce was just out to hurt people. 000
Terri 🌻🍁 @terrily.bsky.social · 12/11/2024It took me so long, but I finally gave myself permission to do this. It’s so liberating. 010
