I think talking about why you DNF helps people understand more and more that it's okay to DNF. It can be quick. 👍

[scottwaters]

I like when you give a brief description of why you DNF!

[kking]

I always enjoy hearing about DNFs! Unless you DNF it after 10 pages or something, I think it’s worth mentioning. I enjoy hearing reasons for DNF because it gives perspective on why a certain book might not be enjoyable (slow, trigger warning, misleading premise, etc). So please keep mentioning them!

[lauramichelle]

I think DNFs that happen fast or are just not your taste I don’t care either way if you discuss. But DNFs for specific tropes or things that are possible issues (misogyny, lack of quotation marks, newly discovered problems with the author, etc) are things I’m interested in.

[stormofapril]

You have became one of my favourite book channels!

[the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I like to hear about DNFs and why DNFd 👍

[CharlottesShelves]

I love how honest you are about hyped-books being 2 stars! I always feel so confused and alienated, in addition to disappointed if I don't enjoy something much hyped? xx

[TheJessieJoy]

I like hearing what you DNFd. Chances are, if it didn’t grip you right off the bat, it won’t grip us either. 😉

[sasapejcin]

Love to hear about dnf's and reason why! 😁

[tammyripp]

I read Swiped too, agree with your review. Re: DNF inclusion, helpful to know what you bailed on as a time-saver for my TBR.

[Ludacrystal]

I like hearing about DNFs. Like others if it happened within the first several pages I dont need to hear about it lol. But otherwise I like hearing why a book was DNF’d

[gabbyreads]

Such a bummer about The God of the Woods 😢 I ended up DNF’ing after like 150 pages? I just thought it was slow and I didn’t care 😅 I wanted to love it so bad

[AndreaGReads]

Thank you for expressing exactly my thoughts on The God of the Woods!! Was starting to feel like the only one who didn’t love the mystery and the pacing! 😅

[bbwlanas]

Yes you should talk about Dnf IT informs others! could save us the time of reading it or it may make some people pick it up.

[maryann]

Swiped looks interesting 😊 will give it a try...10 week wait from my library

[lesap]

I really like you telling us about your DNF's because your reading tastes really come close to mine, so if you DNF I would dnf as well!

[tiffanyplencner]

I reckon a one-liner for the DNFs could be helpful? Don't want to dwell, but it is also helpful to know what might not work for similar reading tastes.

Also, that blurb! I want that book too!

[_rachelreads]

i enjoy hearing about DNFs! also, i think we have opposite tastes bc Done and Dusted, Incidents, and God of the Woods were all 4-5 stars for me, and Horror Movie was a DNF!

[cassidymoore]

Thank you for sharing your feelings on Incidents around the house! I didn’t find it scary or chilling at all and I was starting to feel like I was the only one.

You truly are the only booktuber whose taste aligns with my own. When I heard your review of Near the bone, I immediately hit subscribe lol

[Sadie]

It's good to hear what made you dnf. If a book is bad enough for you to just stop, people who like similar books as you can save time & money. Good to know.
