Have you ever started reading a book but then realised you
couldn’t bring yourself to finish it? Was it so boring that you fell asleep? If
I start something, I like to finish. But sometimes a book is so boring that I
can’t even force myself to read it I don’t normally DNF books, but occasionally
it does happen.
I recently realized I just couldn't get through a book, which is a shame because it's by an author that I like so I thought I would enjoy it. I might do a follow up, half-review post but for now I thought I’d make a little infographic of the stages I go
through when I’m reading a book that leads to a DNF:

If you're really not enjoying a book it's okay to save it for later or maybe even give up on it completely. Reading should be fun and if you're not having fun get a different book.
Have you ever had to DNF a book? What was it?
*DNF = Did not finish
Hahah I love the graphic you made! I think it sums up pretty well what I went through everytime I feel like not finishing a book. There's always a denial because I don't like giving up books. Even now, I don't feel like finishing The Girl on The Train. I've heard so much about it but the starting was slow and even when I skip chapters ahead, it still fails to entice me. I feel so bored! So, I think I'm just going to move on to another book. :D

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I haven't read The Girl on The Train but I know what you mean, I feel like I'm breaking an unwritten rule by giving up on a book. Luckily it doesn't happen too often.
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
