27: How to DNF a Book


Listen Later

Show notes:

DNF is a term you hear a lot in the book world. Today, we’re talking about what it means, the pros and cons of DNF-ing a book, and also exactly how to do it, or at least the criteria that we use. We also share some books that we have DNF-ed and why. If you’re ever unsure whether to DNF a book or not, remember to ask yourself this: What would Sarah do?
