Ravings of a new DNF’r!!!

I have DNF 2 books in 1 day.

And I am feeling the guilt.

One was a book I received as part of the Kindle First programme (and I didn’t realise and bought the audio book too!)

I read the first 15% of the ebook and then switched to audio as I was in work but I found it to be flat and a bit, dare I say it, boring. So I switched back to the ebook. Couldn’t get back into it at all.

The other is an ebook I’ve had for ages, 5 years in fact! It’s also a book that everyone seems to love. Like love. But I didn’t like the lead guy, he was mean and basically vile to the leading lady and she just took it and ran after him even more! I just couldn’t take any more!!!!

So now I am here. In a stage of guilt. What is wrong with me? 2 books in 1 day that I DNF. Unheard of for me.

So now what do I do?

Do I put it down to an off day and retry or bin them off forever?

What do you do?

  1. Out of curiosity, what was the second book?

    In general, I would say let them go. If you think they’re ones you really might enjoy but just aren’t in the mood for now, then you can always just put them back on your TBR. And if at a later date you start getting curious about what happens next in them or wish you knew how they ended, you can go back and finish. There isn’t enough time to read all the books you want and will love, and that time gets even shorter if you also end up reading books that you don’t like.
