Your Reading Doghouse - Stage 1

Visitor, have you ever thought about what type of reading turns you off? What kinds of books are difficult for you to get through or enjoy?
When you discover what elements irritate or aggravate you, these are considered to make up your “reading doghouse” (NOTE: It’s the contrast to your reading wheelhouse!) This may include certain types of genres, characters, or tropes. To complete this quest, respond to the 3 prompts below and then click Complete.

Here is a list of 35 popular genres. Are generally any genres that you avoid or find difficult to enjoy?

If you can’t get into a book, and you’re not required to read it for school, it’s okay to not finish it. In the reading world, people will label these books as “DNF” for “Did Not Finish.”

  • What is a DNF book that you remember abandoning? Do you remember why?
  • -OR- If you have never DNF’d a book, why do you think that’s the case?

When you’re reading for yourself, you get to choose what you want to read… or not! While it can be good to stretch yourself and try new reading, and keeping in mind that your interests will likely change throughout your life, it’s always good to embrace what you like and dislike!
