    I love it. I'm a super supporter of the DNF. My most recent video is actually a Let It Go parody about DNFing because I have no shame. I DNFed the Mortal Instruments series because I just got distracted by having so many others! Cruel Prince is a tongue twister, but I actually finished that one and loved it. Great video!

  • @manonblackbeak6561
    @manonblackbeak6561 5 лет назад +82

    Uhh isn't the title a little off? DNFing is when you drop a book because you aren't enjoying it, not because you started and got too busy to read. Love the 2 and a half black screen jam session at the end!

      DNF means Did Not Finish...but that doesn't mean that you're never going to finish it. Just because the standard meaning for most people is that it is for giving up on a book that you aren't enjoying, doesn't mean that it is the only meaning. I've set books aside, DNFing them for a bit, because I wasn't in the mood for that particular book. I've had several times where I have temporarily DNFd a book, getting back around to it a year or so later and giving it another attempt.

    I bought Lady Might night the year it came out and I haven’t touched since. Cassandra Clare literally is exploting the story

      Why does everyone keep saying that ? She has found a recipe and it sells, why wouldn't she keep writing in that world if she loves it ? It makes us fans happy so who cares ?

    I’ve DNFed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Renegades, and the Cheerleaders in the pasted month. Not because I didn’t like them. They are all really good but I just get really distracted!!!
