I mostly like reading for escapism, but sometimes I need something that changes my entire perspective on the world 🦋 oh and free Palestine

    top reasons for DNFing a book

    one of my top goals for reading this year was to let myself DNF books that i don’t like/am getting completely nothing out of, since i have historically been a chronic book completionist who will stick it out through a novel even if i hate it, which often leads to reading slumps/burnout and just less time to read books that i do want. i think ive been doing pretty well with this, and it’s definitely improved my overall reading journey!

    for those of you who may be on a similar journey, who was already a fairly “good” DNFer, or people who have just DNF’ed a book recently, what have been your top reasons this year for DNFing books? to the same tune, is there like a specific thing that you’ll auto-DNF a book over?

    This book’s so interesting. It’ll use the most beautiful imagery and comparisons to Greek mythology and then on the very next page reference “the prophets” with “ain’t no mountain high enough.”

    I read this a few months ago and I’m still thinking about it. Does anyone have any good recommendations with this vibe? Any plot/genre - I just need to feel like I did reading this book again (unhelpful I know)
