Goodreads is making changes to Did Not Finish (DMF) shelves. This is from a message from the GR Team that many of you should have gotten; although it seems the emails are going out in waves.

Things to Know
If you created an exclusive custom shelf named exactly "did not finish," "dnf," "abandoned," "unfinished," "didn-t-finish," or "dropped," we'll automatically convert it to the new default Did Not Finish shelf. Your reviews, ratings, and reading history stay with your book.
If you created a tag or non-exclusive custom shelf, it will remain unchanged with one exception. Those currently named exactly "did-not-finish" will be automatically renamed to "did-not-finish-2" to avoid duplication.

If you prefer to keep your current setup, rename your shelf or tag to anything else before Feb. 28.

What to Expect
After Feb. 28, your existing shelf or tag may show a different name or appear non-editable as we prepare to launch in the coming weeks. This is expected as we work behind the scenes to ensure your books, ratings, and reviews transfer smoothly. Don't worry! You can still add and remove books from your shelf as usual during this time.

You've Been Asking
Do DNF books count toward your Reading Challenge goal? Great question! If you mark a book as Did Not Finish and add a read date, it will count toward your goal. If there is no read date, it won't count.

DO NOT FORGET 📚
