Are you a reader?  I am!  I really dislike not finishing a book, but sometimes you just need to put a book down and admit defeat!  I will admit, I get swayed by what is popular and trendy when it comes to choosing books.  I would say my taste is fairly eclectic when it comes to the books I choose to read.   

I find most people stick to a favorite genre, such as romance, fantasy or mystery, or a subgenre of the same.  Not me!  I love cozy mystery, romance, historical romance, historical fantasy mystery,  romantasy or a really great psychological thriller.   

It takes a lot for me to decide to put a book down and decide to not finish it, especially if it is a really popular book that everyone else seems to love.  My most recent did not finish (DNF) is Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.  I loved Fourth Wing, but for whatever reason I could not get into Iron Flame, I found it tedious and slow going and I had other books on my to be read (TBR) calling to me.

What would cause you to DNF a book?  Or would you struggle to finish it?   There haven’t been many books that I have put down.  Sometimes I try the audio book and that helps but not in this case.
