BOOKS I DNF SO FAR/SERIES I WILL NOT BE CONTINUING

Uh oh, more unpopular opinions ahead. These are all the books I have DNF'd so far this year. For one reason or another. Either I found a book so boring and I just couldn't get into it, or maybe the story got so bad for me that I had to stop reading.  I also decided to add a list of series I won't be continuing. With those I did read the first book or the first few books, but for whatever reason(s) I lost interest in finishing out the series.  Since I DNF most of these books/series, there won't be any links to read about them, since I obviously never gave them a review.  Books I DNF: Anne of Windy Poplars by LM Montgomery You're Welcome Universe by Whitney Gardner Take me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson Monday is Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson Nancy Drew and the Secret of Red Gate Farm by Carolyn Keene Lunch Money by Andrew Clements American Panda by Gloria Chao The Case of the Missing Moonstone by Jordan Stratford Spinning by Tillie Walden Strawberry Girl by Lois Lensk...

Worst Books of the Year So Far

Warning: Potentially unpopular opinions ahead. Unfortunately, yes, we are going to be a little negative today. These are the worst books I read so far this year. I rated these either 3 stars or lower. Well, this particular list is all 3 stars .  These are not books I DNF (aka 0 stars). That will be the next post. The books you see here are all books I read from beginning to end. I do not personally recommend them, but I not discouraging you from checking them out either. Maybe you might like them more than me, but if your reading tastes are similar to mine and you trust me for recommendations, you might not like these.  Anyway, here is the list (and links to reviews if applicable): Our Dreams at Dusk Volumes 2 and 3 by Yuhki Kamatani Given Volumes 4 and 6 by Natsuki Kizu Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman   Sheets by Brenna Thummler Well, that wasn't too long! What disappointing books have you read so far?
