Hello Boundlings!

Is there a page/percentage point that if a book doesn't have your attention by now it probably won't, or something specific that makes you go NOPE?

I am about 40% into Gentlest of Wild Things (by Sarah Underwood) and frankly, I just don't really care about the story or the characters still unfortunately 🙃

I've only ever DNF'D one book and even then I read until over 70% when I first considered DNFing at just 30% 😅 That felt like an accomplishment though because I need conclusions and tend to read to the end just in case it gets better, or to find out if I was right about something. I know I need to work on that though, my TBR is way too long to read books I'm not enjoying lol, but at what point should the decision to DNF be made? What is your DNF point or criteria? Help a girl grow a DNF backbone 😭

I've been thinking about this for quite some time and I'm really trying to bond more with others, but I've been having a bit of a hard time with it tbh. I'm a very reserved person in general and it takes me a while to really open up to others (and I'm anxious to post this but here I go lol).

so with this I'm trying to shout into the void for others to introduce themselves! I really want to make more friends on here and would love to get to know more of you and maybe some of you can find folks with the same interests too ❤️

what I especially would like to know about you 🫵:

📚what are your favourite books and why? 😺cats or dogs? (or neither?👀)

As for me, I'm jessie from germany and I'd say I read a broad range of genres, my favourite being fantasy! I'm currently getting into robin hobbs realm of the elderlings and am impatiently waiting for dead beat by leigh bardugo to come out. Also I'm trying to get more into horror, so I'd be happy if any of you had a suggestions for me! I have japanese gothic and the eyes are the best part available rn 👀

My favourite books of all time are probably the inheritance cycle aka eragon and the mediator by meg cabot, which are both most likely very based on nostalgia but I think about them regularly lol. I also really, really love anything miss bardugo writes, but I do love six of crows and ninth house the most 🐍🐇 AND!! honorable mention to the familiar which I liked a lot too!

Apart from books I'm an avid gaming, movie and tv series enjoyer! I love anything horror like resident evil, but here I enjoy many different genres. I most recently saw the new spider-man and obsession which were both absolutely breathtaking in different ways iykyk. Next week I'm going to go watch the new insidious movie!
