I do not. but the mention of making a shelf on here was a good idea
not really.. i just add it to my dnf shell.
I dont cause who knows I may pick them back up at some point
I wouldn't - there have been some books I don't like, but I 'suffer' through them. I've only shelved a handful of books through 60 years of reading. I like the idea of a shelf! Maybe I'll finally shelve books I don't enjoy,,,,,
Would anyone like to join a teams group and discuss our books?
depends. if i barely scratch the surface it just gets put down as dnf, but if i’ve made it 90+% i sometimes count it, especially if i’m only missing a conclusion or epilogue.
No. I have a notebook where I have written down all the books I own and all the reading challenges and I write it with another color than the rest of the books so I will know I tried to read it, but it just wasn’t for me.
yes. if 60 page novellas count as book being read, then the 150 pages I read to decide to DNF should count too
In the 15 years I have used Goodreads, I've marked 156 books as DNR. Most of those I finished but never intend to pick up those, or others by the same author, for read / reread. So, for me it's a cautionary list.
@Pisces51... yes I have had posts disappear or only appear partially finish. I usually find out when someone comments that it sounds as if I didn't finish the review. Like you, I fix them as I find them.
@Haleigh Buchanan, I like that title "disappointment collection ".
If I’ve spent a good amount if time on it and read like 300 pages+ I count it as read
Sometimes I count them if I've read at least half of it, especially if it's a longer book, but typically, I don't count them. If I think the issue is me (wrong mood), then I put it on my "Lost Interest" shelf, so that I can go back to it when I'm in a different mood. If it's definitely the book, then it goes on my DNF shelf.
No, sometimes I will shelve it to try again later. Otherwise I just place it in a Little Free Library.

But I like to know and remembered why I did not finish a book. peace, janz
yes, but I just didn't like it that's why I didn't finish it.
It takes a LOT for me to DNF a book.
I tend to push through books I want to DNF typically to give it a bad rating and slam the book in my review. See: Beast a tale of love and revenge
