Ten Books I Decided to DNF

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and the meme moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. This week's Top Ten Tuesday asks bloggers to list their ten books they decided to DNF (Did Not Finish). I usually am pretty spot on whether I will like a book based on the synopsis but unfortunately there are times when I start reading a book and find out it's not for me. This usually happens because I can't get into the plot or because the writing doesn't capture my attention. I may be a black sheep on some of the very popular books or authors but it's a personal preference. The following books are in no particular order. 


1.  The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker 

2. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

3. Graceling by Kristin Cashore

4. The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord

5. The Last Boy and Girl in the World by Siobhan Vivian 

6. Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

7. Carve The Mark by Veronica Roth


9. Even if the Sky Falls by Mia Garcia

10. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

  1. Oh my gosh, I feel you about Shiver. I only JUST BARELY made it through that one and can't even look at the rest of the series now. Maggie Stiefvater is awesome, but that book was so angsty! Great list!!

    1. I am very particular with high fantasy reads in general. The book must capture my attention from the first chapter or it's very hard for me to continue reading.

    1. I am more of a contemporary person but I am very picky with high fantasy reads in general. I do enjoy some fantasy though.

  5. I don't blame you at all about Shiver. I almost didn't make it through Throne of Glass myself. And Carve the Mark is one of those books that I wish I had DNF instead of actually reading it. Great list.
