What is DNFing?

Dear reader,
today I'm going to talk about DNFing and why its okay to do.
In case you did not know DNFing translates to: Did Not Finish as in, did not finish a book I was reading. I have done this 4 times. With 4 different books that I will list below:

-Miracle of fourth avenue
reason for DNF:
This book was the definition of excreta. I wrote a blog about it called something like the worst book ever go read it if you want to. But don't read the book, waste of my life.

-The book thief
reason for DNF:
It was a bit boring and I was not in the mood however I will go back to it one day.

-Children of blood and bone
reason for DNF:
I was in a reading slump and needed to stop reading it because I lost track of what was going on. I will definitely read it before the sequel comes out though

-Dear Evan Hanson
reason for DNF:
Some things should stick to what there good at.
Also I don't really like scripts.

The point of telling you this is because I want all of you to know that DNFing books is not something we should feel guilty of. Hating the worlds most cherished books is not something to be guilty of. Its simple:
LIFE IS TO SHORT TO READ STUFF WE DO NOT ENJOY!
 So, please please please if you are reading something that you do not enjoy reading, STOP WASTING PRECIOUS TIME ON IT! You are not always going to like your best friends favorite book and they will not always like yours. Life goes on.
In the same way however, if someone recommends you a book and you don't really like the sound of it, give it ago. It might surprise you!

I hope you enjoyed reading my rant, thanks for the positive feedback on my other blogs. I really appreciate it.
love

7 Songs that...

snow-dance-alana-tousignant.jpg (900×675) (fineartamerica.com) Dear Reader,  This is a book blog, with a strange amount of Taylor Swift references sure, but a book blog still.  Today, I choose to write about music!  These songs, the 7 favourites and 3 honourable mentions I have picked are unexplainably attached to my mind. In this blog, I try to explain.  Let's get started:  1. "Heroes" by David Bowie  Despite my adoration of Bowie, who I own 1/2 of his discography on vinyl,  several vintage collectors magazines of, and 4 thrifted posters hung up in my room of- my attachment to this song, funnily enough sprung from my love of a book- so I would say is a great number one for easing my regular readers into this change of brand (don't worry this is a one time thing). To those who have digested the novel/film: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, you will know the scene where these characters, some of my all time favourites, drive through a ...

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams

Just for December by Laura Jane Williams: review Dear reader,  To Start with, thank you so much for the lovely girls at Avon Harper Collins for gifting me this proof around the holidays! This book was absolutely delightful, and extremely well timed. I cracked open this book on the same day the skies decided to comply with Michael Bublé and while it might not be a white Christmas, as the rain seems to have washed it away now, it made to be pretty idyllic conditions to read this book. I went into this book feeling festive and ready for something to give me all the fuzzy Christmas feelings, which it provided along with a lot more feelings than I predicted. Williams manages to craft cliches and worn-out tropes to make them seem like nothing of the sort and in fact- revive them. Enemies to lovers has not been done so humanly in a very long time, and all you have to do to see that statement holds meaning is scroll through my other reviews and see that the enemies to lover’s trope...

Before the coffee gets cold a book talk (Non-spoiler! You're welcome)

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Amazon.co.uk: Kawaguchi, Toshikazu, Trousselot, Geoffrey: 9781529029581: Books Dear Reader,  This review will not contain spoilers, so feel free to read if you haven't yet read the book, and with that let's begin:  These stories definitely build in intensity as you plough on, with subtly building engagement. The first two stories for me provided little interest, a point at which usually I would choose to DNF and call my loses. However, something about the writing, simple but almost translucent into the lives of these individuals, gave me the impression that it had more to give despite the seemingly stagnant story endings.  I think the best way to describe my growth to loving this book is recognising the beauty within its simplicity. As a predominantly YA reader myself, I couldn't help but expect this book to tie up in a perfect interloping knot at the end. My hope of this, I see now, may have blinded me to the crystal  humanity being bare...
