That was last year.

So far this year, I've finished 156, and have just marked my 50th DNF at The Storygraph - breathing down the neck of 1 DNF for every 3 finished. It's been liberating to feel no shame about dropping a book, for whatever reason, instead of feeling some sort of obsessive compulsion to finish just because. A sizeable number of this year's DNFs were VERY early purchases in my switch from Kindle to Kobo, covers and synopses that looked and sounded promising but in the end did not deliver. If I crack the ton of DNFs this year, I would consider that a MAJOR achievement in my reading life.
