Sometimes we bookish folks use abbreviations that not all are aware of. I’m starting a list and will keep this updated. What’s missing? 

TBR – To Be Read

Backlist Titles – Older books available as opposed to newer titles (called frontlist titles)

ARC – Advanced Reader Copy (Sent by publishers for pre-publication reviews)

eARC – eBook Advanced Reader Copy 

DNF – Did Not Finish (A book you decided not to finish) 

Wishing you many happy reading experiences!

NRN – Not Right Now (A book you don’t want abandon for life, just for the moment) 

Trade Paperback – Softcover, larger, more durable version of a mass market paperback

Mass Market Paperback – Softcover, smaller in size than trade paperback, usually smaller font size, made to fit in spinning book racks
