PANEL: "Did You Finish These Hyped Titles?", Worth the Hype?

  • Online Singapore Singapore (map)

No judgement: everyone has a title they did not finish (DNF). Did you ever feel guilty about not finishing a book that everyone hypes up? Or is there no shame in dropping a book that you can’t seem to like? Our panelists challenge each other to finish reading a hyped title that they are curious about and answer two questions: Firstly, did you finish it? Secondly, is it worth the hype?

Join us for an interactive session where you can share hyped titles you DNF. The panel also ponders the culture of DNF and how we can challenge ourselves as readers.
