Should I give these DNFs a second chance? 🤔📚 

I recently read Tress of the Emerald Sea and it was my first Brandon Sanderson. I almost DNFd it because the narrator and style just felt too whimsical for me. I did keep going, though, and I actually ended up enjoying it!! I did a full video on it if you're interested but I am glad I finished reading it. I plan to read Mistborn next month. From what I gather, it's much more of his typical writing style.

Also I just pre-ordered You've Got Chain Mail! It sounds fun!!

Hello from a fellow booktuber ☺️🫶 just found your channel on my recommended videos! This is EXACTLY the video I needed to see right now. I’m so bad about DNFing 😅 I haven’t heard of a soft DNF before but I think that might be just what I need to get into the habit. Bunny is one of my most anticipated reads on my tbr shelf! I think I would be into the confusing unreliable narrator, but I can see why someone would not be. We’ll see tho! 👀🤞

I DNF The Paper Palace .Only a couple of chapters in and don’t regret it.

I read 2 books that you mentioned, so these are my thoughts. 1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - I did have to read this book for school. 😅 The thing is that I do not typically enjoy historical fiction either. Too many facts, not enough story for me. However, I loved this book because it had a unique story. I love books with a more unique choice for the narrator, so I loved the Death narrated this book. Overall, I like it but I probably wouldn’t have read it if I wasn’t forced to. 2. The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix - I’m gonna be honest, if I was someone who DNF’ed books, I would’ve DNF’ed this one. (I like to read too much to DNF a book. The only time I’ve ever DNF’ed a book was when I was reading War and Peace in 8th grade and I soft DNF’ed it. Got about halfway through but stopped because it was taking too long to read. Anyways I’m getting off topic.) It was just a bore. I couldn’t connect to the characters and the story wasn’t what I usually liked. Overall, it was okay, but it could have been better. I was really hoping to like this one and was disappointed.

lol I felt the same way about curious tides but it’s a hard DNF for me

I’ve read two of these books recently and loved them both. I didn’t have to read ‘The Book Thief’ for school because it hadn’t been written 😂. Would it help you to read the Elif Shafik book on audio?

I also did not like The Book Thief. it's clever but the voice is ehhhh
