I used to not count DNF’d books as completed, but recently changed my mind a bit. I feel like if you actively decide not to finish you’ve already completed it in some way. Also allows me to rate and review on goodreads for example. What do you guys do? Do you count them? Is there a certain amount you have to read before you consider a DNF book completed? Or do you not think of them completed at all?

    I log it as a DNF in my reading journal and note how many pages I read. I don’t rate it, but I do write why I decided not to finish it.

      This is a good method. I like the idea of adding a note on why I didn’t finish a book.

      Sometimes I pick up a book that was DNF originally, and then the second attempt I try reading it, and it hooks me.

      Sometimes books aren’t meant for me at the time.
