My Year in Books 2013- DNFs
I’ll be spending this week looking at my year in books. So far in 2013, I’ve read 144 books and have had 31 DNFs. What I love about book blogging and reviewing is that we each have our own individual taste. The longer I blog, the more I realize I don’t have to impress anyone. I am more apt to put down books than I used to be simply because my reading time is limited and precious. Plus, there are so many on my TBR list. I can choose to be picky and feel I give every book a fair chance, but some are just not for me.
I don’t finish books for several reasons ( see them all HERE) but these were my top five reasons…
- Content
- Sequels I couldn’t complete
- Annoying voice or too much profanity in audio
- Too slowly paced
- Poorly written or edited
Here’s my master Did Not Finish list.
