Hello! Today’s post as you can read via the title is about the books I’ve marked as DNF. DNF stands for Did Not Finish. A little while ago I did my first “DNF” post. I thought that one would be my last.. Turns out, there are quite a few books that I’ve lost interest in, or for some reason they’ve failed to keep my attention.

Whether the book has caused me to lose interest, or I’m just not feeling the book at the moment.. There could be any amount of reasons why I didn’t finish a book. I could not like the writing, a character, or an event in the story that has caused me to stop reading.

As of late I’ve had a few more books that I’ve marked as DNF. Here they are!:

Don’t Turn Around, by Michelle Gagnon | Book Review #150

17268877

Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now living off the grid and trusting no one, she uses her hacking skills to stay anonymous and alone. But when she wakes up on a table in a warehouse with an IV in her arm and no memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she had someone on her side.

Enter Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people with Noa’s talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation threatens his life in no uncertain terms. But what Noa and Peter don’t realize is that Noa holds the key to a terrible secret, and there are those who’d stop at nothing to silence her for good.”

Don’t Turn Around, by Michelle Gagnon is:

  • first in a trilogy
  • Young Adult Sci-Fi Thriller/Mystery
  • 336 pages (paperback)

When I first found this book, I was browsing through the library. I like this particular library because they have quite a few books in paperback, and I find library paperbacks such a breeze to read. Anyway. I found Don’t Turn Around and saw that the front cover has “OFF THE GRID. ON THE RUN.” on it. I was drew in by that, because, hey, that in itself sound interesting. And then I flip the book over to read the synopsis of the book and what sticks out most is: “Don’t tell your secrets. A whisper can betray you. Don’t trust anyone. Not even yourself.

The synopsis on the back of the book as to what it is on Goodreads. The synopsis on the back reads: Continue reading
