I have DNF'd only one book and it generally shocks people lol. No Country for Old Men.
I acknowledge McCarthy was a driving force in writing but I couldn't get past his choice to forego punctuation/dialogue markers. Got sick of re-reading passages 😅

When an author makes the protagonist gaze in the mirror and describe in detail her pouty red lips, ice blue or chocolate brown eyes and shoulder-length jet black hair... I know the rest of the book will suck. Let the reader use their imagination. 🙄 #booksky #writinglifemonthly

There is really nothing specific. I will sometimes just lose motivation to open a book again. OTOH a book can have typos, poor grammar, bad spelling, faulty plotting and still be interesting, entertaining or speak to me in some way.

Outside of bad editing and writing (i feel that’s a deal breaker for most people), for me a huge NO is poor quality sex and meaningless violence. I’m fine if it’s there but ya gotta make me feel something and justify its existence.

I DNF a few times a month, usually within the first third.
Sometimes I stick out a book that I don't like just to see where it's going, but mostly I'd rather just pick something else and move on.

I used to stick out every book, and I probably still stick with too many and for too long. The worst are the ones that trick you into hoping they get better or pay off then don’t. I do DNF more than I used to.

Almost nothing, tbh. I always plow through to the end, even if I hate myself for doing so.
I will say if there’s on-page sexual assault, that’ll get me to stop. But I try to avoid even starting those books if it’s mentioned in the content warnings.

The last book I DNF was actually a non-fiction book on extinct birds wherein I felt the writer was too blinkered and self-indulgent to actually put together a compelling narrative about a topic I am deeply invested in! So I guess I would say self-indulgence... 1/2

In the first 3 chapters of an #mmromance the author introduced a lot of characters with similar names. I almost DNF, but the premise was compelling. Decades ago I read Tolstoy's *War and Peace* -- so many characters! The translator provided a secret decoder chart in the back to keep track (whew!)

DNF: Sometimes it's content I do not like, or references that make it clear this is not an author I want to support.
And sometimes it's just a slog to read, and I have so many other things to read instead.
