Overview

Over the years, I’ve DNF’d (Did Not Finish) more than a hundred books from my reading list. Now, it’s time to give some of them a second chance—even if the ratings might still end up being low.

In 2025, I plan to reread one DNF book each month. If I DNF a book again, I’ll pick another one to replace it. Only books that I read to the end will count as completed. By the end of 2025, my goal is to finish 10 books from my DNF list.

This is a personal reading challenge, but if you like the idea, feel free to join in! 😊
