Is there any book you just couldn't finish? Which? And why was it that bad? Let us know here!

hmmm, I was thinking of reading shadow and bone, but as you describe it, probably I won't...

You really should!! I listened to the first one on audiobook and I really liked it. The books definitely improve as the story goes on.

okiee :) I'll give it a try

For me I could not finish The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes I found it so boring and I made it about halfway but I just couldn't. I was very disappointed because I really loved the Hunger Games series.

I personally cannot leave books unfinished. I really don't know why, I just can't. I will read till the very end even the worst book.

haha it bugs me too and I eventually go back and read them I just have so many other better books that I would rather read.

I only leave them unfinished if they're reallllly bad. Usually I don't see the point in putting down a book if I've already read a lot of it, unless I genuinely think it'll be a waste of time to finish. (Usually I don't think it's a waste of time because even if it's not fun at least if I finish I can see what happens)

That's probably why every time I go to Barnes and Noble it's on sale lol. I'm upset because that was one that I preordered too.

1. A Wrinkle in Time: This was my first ever DNF back in middle school. I was trying to read it for a reading competition thingie and I didn't finish it in time and it was a boring book so I just gave up on it.

2. Pretty Girls: Wayyyyy too triggering and disturbing.

3. Into the Water: Too triggering and too depressing. The audiobook narrator also wasn't very good.
