Books On My DNF List || May 2021

what's up my loves my name is paige this is patrons with paige and today we're going to be talking about the books on my dnf list my dnf list includes books that i have started and not yet finished um i might come back to these for most of them i'm pretty confident that i will i'm not including series that i've decided to dnf because i'm not part way through any of those series and have decided to stop um i can do a whole video on book series that i've decided to dnf since doing my unhaul yeah i just wanted to talk about the books that are currently on a soft dnf list this is a pop sugar reading prompt for this year to read a book from your dnf list um so i figured let's do it so i have a whole six books to talk to you about um so let's dive in the first three i don't have physical copies of the and out of those the first is something buried by emily griffith um i really enjoy the movie of this i started listening to it on audiobook whilst reading it along on my kindle and i just i just stopped um no real reason why i just lost interest and haven't picked it up since um it is one that i'm interested in finishing because i love the movie um but it's also got a lot of tropes that i'm like uh i think i might have outgrown this as a reader so we'll see where i end up on that one the next is the right swipe by alicia rye and i really was enjoying this um i think i just picked it up on a whim i had so many other things on my tbr that were actually on my tbr and that was just sort of something to fill the time because i'd forgotten to book or something and yeah so i haven't gone back to it but it's okay i definitely do want to get to this one eventually and the third one that i don't have is wicked by gregory mcguire i think this might be a permanent dnf the reason i don't have it is i've decided to unhaul it because i keep picking it up reading the first like the prologue and then just not continuing i've put it on so many tbrs and just don't get to it and i don't know i think it's time for me and wicked to part ways maybe i don't know i don't want to because like i just want to read it but is it worth it this is the only one that i'm really like i'm okay to actually do that this the rest i'm like i want to read these the three physical books i have uh do android stream of electric sheep by philip k dick um i'm curious about the blade runner story i really enjoyed the film um but this is also one of those like classics on the 100 books to read eventually so that's why i have it i think i will enjoy it but i got eight pages in seller yeah so not sure how we'll go with this one um i might end up completely digging upping it but i do want to try this will probably be the one that if i manage to read this will fill the pop sugar prompt then painfully we have the city of brass by essay chakra body i am so keen to get into this i think i've got three chapters in and i stopped um i think it was on a few tbrs and then i just kept putting it off putting it off i was doing a buddy read with jacqueline and then just didn't um so i desperately want to finish this but it's just one that i'm sort of biting my time on i think this or this will be my pop sugar prompt and my final dnf book at soft dnf soft enough is beartown by frederick buckman um so i got 94 pages into this and then just stopped this was supposed to be a buddy read with ether from pretty purple polka dots and yeah failed with that one i think we both did even let me know have you actually finished this yet um so i was really intrigued but i don't really do sports so it was a lot of hockey talk and i'm just like um do i care i know i will by the end but it's just so hard to get to that point it's so anyway i know that i'm gonna love this once i get past that point um so please let me know where i need to get to if you have read it um but at the moment page 100 was where i stopped these are just three out of the six books that i've dnf'd softly very very softly i don't think i have ever consciously dnapped a book and not gone back to it um the one that i'm thinking of was gail by junjie ito so i was like nah can't read this can't do it it hits on my phobia i can't i'm done and then i went back to it and sat there and was just like okay all right good guy okay bye and yeah so that's your only like full dnf that i ended up reading anyway cool we love that so yeah i think wicked's going to be the only ones that actually will get dnf the rest of these i'm actually really interested in let me know in the comments below is it a struggle for you to dnf like it is for me i fully appreciate and commend people that can do it i just i don't know what it is i think i just want to give everything a chance i have rose-colored glasses on for every single book in my life that it's going to be the next best thing and if i don't read it i'm missing out on that opportunity for it to hit that point i know that's not the case i know that's delusional thinking it's fine um but yeah if you did like this video feel free to give it a big thumbs up and if you'd like to see more of this mess be sure to subscribe and i'll hopefully see you in my next video [Music] bye you
