It happens to all of us: we start reading a book with the highest of hopes and best of intentions, only to find that it's just not the book for us.  

Maybe we're just not in the right mood.  Maybe life got too busy.  Maybe our library loan ran out.  Or maybe, we just don't like the book!  Whatever the reason, we put it down—either for now, or for forever.  

But you still want to remember that you started the book.  Well, great news!  Now Bookclubs lets you record those books on the Bookclubs app or website by adding them to your "Did Not Finish" (DNF) shelf.  You can also record the date you stopped reading the book.   

If you decide to pick the book back up sometime in the future, that's no problem!  You can move the book to your Currently Reading or Books I've Read shelf.  

Happy reading!  And don't feel guilty about those DNFs—we've all been there!
