Overview
Of course, if you hated it, don't bother going back.
But for all those books that you ran out of time for, that you put down and forgot about, and that you wanted to read but weren't in the mood for, this challenge offers readers an opportunity to return to their DNF list and see if there's anything there that might deserve another shot.

But for all those books that you ran out of time for, that you put down and forgot about, and that you wanted to read but weren't in the mood for, this challenge offers readers an opportunity to return to their DNF list and see if there's anything there that might deserve another shot.
Reasons to maybe return to a DNF'd book:
- Ran out of time because the library loan expired
- You took a break from reading and promptly forgot all about the book, only to remember it months later
- Another book that you were eagerly waiting for came out or became available, prompting you to DNF the book you were in the middle of reading
- Storygraph's Pause function wasn't available, so you just DNF'd the book instead
- Your friend insists it's a good book...maybe it deserves another shot? Your friend wouldn't lie to you, right?
- You wanted to read this book, but maybe you weren't in the right headspace or mood for its prose style or content
- Whoops, started from the wrong point in the series or the wrong book by the author. You're more ready for what's ahead now
- Just because you want to
