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.

Please be aware that authors are getting emails supposedly from someone in a variety of groups stating that their book has been nominated for "X" or to be added as a Group Read. Of course, the emails are stating there is an administrative fee and wanting detailed information from the authors.
This a scam. Please don't click on any links or provide the information requested in the email. It's a scam.
