Reading Glasses 2020 Challenge - hosted by babayagaofficial

Activity: Stop reading a book you aren't enjoying
The StoryGraph is set up to count books that are "read" within the challenge's time range, so it won't mark this as completed unless you've also marked the book as read on a date this year. Tricky for a DNF challenge!

Workarounds: If you happen to DNF a book that you end up reading later in the year (because it wasn't initially the right book at the right time), it'll work. Another workaround is to mark the book as read this year just so it'll show as "Prompt Complete."

I've also set this as a Bonus Prompt just in case, so you can still complete the challenge even if this prompt doesn't show as complete!
