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?

Is there an author you have read everything by/trying too, even stuff thats not super popular by them. 1) James Herriot read everybook not just the most popualar one "all creatures great and small". 2) Seishi Yokomizo every book that gets translated into English i ship to Australia as soon as it comes out in the UK, i refuse to wait 4 months for it to get here. 3)Shusaku Endo - slowly going through his back catalogue, Wrote very popualar books in the past particualarly Silence, so i am trying to get through his back catalogue, while i have access to my university library who have all his out of print books.

Oh heck yes!! I love a book with footnotes! Let’s f^cking go!!!

I was having this discussion with a coworker about various series that have dragged on and wanted to get y'all's opinion on this. Are there any book series you feel should have ended sooner? For instance, I stand by the statement that Terry Goodkind should have wrapped up the Sword of Truth series with Naked Empire and that JKR's Cursed Child was a cash grab and felt like bad fanfic. Please share with me your hot takes and unpopular opinions 😆
