Books I DNF in 2024

Published on by Celeste16 Comments

Now in its fourth year, I present to you a list of books I DNF in 2024. As I mentioned in 2021, 2022, and 2023, this is not a “worst of” list. Anyone can DNF at book at any time for any reason.

Published on by Celeste19 Comments

I did really well with my January 2025 TBR, probably because I had a lot of motivation to read them between SFINCS and ARC deadlines. I feel pretty good about what I read last month and even threw in some extras. So, now it’s time to look at my February 2025 TBR. This may or may not be a slower reading month depending on how I physically feel while I recover from a more invasive procedure.
