I was tagged for this To Not To Read tag by Deanna over at A Novel Glimpse. Thanks Deanna! All the answers have to be books you DNF-ed. I used to never DNF anything (book OR series), but over the last few years I’ve learned how to put down books I don’t think will be worth my time. Feel free to tag yourself if you’d like.
What book would you be willing to finish?
Tiny Pretty Things. I only read a couple chapters before I gave up and I’ve read many positive reviews on it, so it might have just been my mood when I tried it. And I still love the cover.
A dystopian book that you put down.
Landry Park. I didn’t make any notes on this on to how far I got or why I stopped, so I don’t quite remember what made me put it down. I think I didn’t like the main character, though, and by the time this came out I was pretty over dystopian.
A book that you just didn’t want to finish at all.
Passenger. I read a little more than half and I just didn’t care.
A sequel.
The Queen of Zombie Hearts. While I originally shipped the main romance, by this book I simply could not take the two of them anymore. And I didn’t like the supporting characters.
A book you’ll never again pick up.
Anatomy of a Player. New Adult is not at all my genre, but I liked the first book in this series so I decided to give this one a try and it was just a big NOPE for me.
A book with too much hype.
A Study in Charlotte. I saw some rave reviews on this, but I just didn’t care about it at all. I stopped reading in the middle of a chapter.
A haunting read.
The City, maybe? None of the books on my DNF list really fall under this category, but this might be the closest.
A contemporary.
The Replacement Crush. I had no patience at all for the main character.
A book you were unsure of.
The Flood Girls. At the beginning of the e-ARC I had for this there was a letter from both the author AND the publisher. The fact that I needed a letter explaining the book and then another letter about how great the book is before I even started really turned me off.

I just put two books into my DNF pile. I like to give a book a fair shake before banishing it, but I’ve grown to realize that life is too short (and there are too many books) to waste time on something you don’t like.
I usually try to do 25% before deciding to give up or not, but sometimes it only takes a couple chapters to know it won’t be for me.
Anatomy of a Player is on my TBR. Hopefully, it’s a better read for me. Thanks for doing this tag! It was fun to read your answers. 🙂
Thanks for tagging me! I didn’t read enough of Anatomy of a Player to really say if it’s one you will like, but since you are much more an NA fan than I am I think you probably will.
What a fun tag, you know, I almost read The flood girls XD Almst glad I didn’t!
It was a fun one! I didn’t read enough of The Flood Girls to know if it would be one you might like or not, but from what I did read I wouldn’t really recommend it.
