Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Books I’ve Decided I’m No Longer Interested In Reading.
There are countless books out there in the wild and there are many on my TBR – you can check out some of them here. But there are some that over time, I’m no longer interested in reading. There are different reasons why I’m choosing not to read them anymore. Sometimes it’s because it’s no longer something I’m interested in, or I’ve heard things that have turned me off. So today I thought I would share some of the books I’ve decided I’m no longer going to read.
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Mass: I have to admit, I loved the first book. I loved the world, the characters, and the plot. It was a very close 5 star read for me. Then I let it all settle in and I wasn’t really enjoying the foreshadowing that was present. And then the reviews starting to trickle in, and I knew the book wasn’t going to be for me.
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Mass: Much like A Court of Mist and Fury, I enjoyed the first book in this series and then I found out what happened. Personally, I am not a massive fan of what Sarah does with her characters. I don’t like where their arcs go and how things end up between characters. I just think her writing and novels aren’t for me.
The Crown’s Fate by Evelyn Skye: I wasn’t a massive fan of the first book. There were many things that happened that I wasn’t a fan of. I didn’t really like the magic of the world or the romance. I felt that there was so much leading up until the end – and then it faded.
The Harper Effect by Taryn Bashford: I think I would have liked this books, it’s a YA sports romance. And if you know me well, then you know I love sports romance books. However, after the author had altercations with another blogger on social media, I can’t support the book. There was a lot going on and things were said and done that I didn’t agree with.
Legendary by Stephanie Garber: I am still not sure how I feel about this book. I didn’t love Caraval, but I also didn’t hate it. It’s one of those books that I can easily forget. So I’m not too sure if I am going to continue with the series. I want to know what and how things happen. So maybe one day.
A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi: I really didn’t want to put this one on my list, however there is a high chance I won’t read it. I liked the first book enough, but I didn’t love it. I really enjoyed the world and writing, and it was so beautiful. But I wasn’t a massive fan of the plot and the characters. So I’m not to sure if I want to continue.
Desolation by Derek Landy: I read the first book in this series a couple of years ago now and really enjoyed it. However, I just don’t think I would be into it now. The main protagonist is on the younger side and I just don’t think we will click.
Royal Bastards by Andrew Shvarts: This was on my TBR before it even came out. It sounded just like something that I would love. But, then it took ages for it to come out, and the reviews weren’t that great. So I just never picked it up, maybe one day I will.
Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller: This is another one that was on my TBR before it even came out. And then I just never picked it up. It’s another one of those books that got mixed reviews and I could not decided if it was for me. So at the moment I am not going to be reading it any time soon.
Before She Ignites by Jodi Meadows: This is probably on the top of this list that I would pick up. I love the cover, the story sounds interesting. I just haven’t heard much about it and I am hesitate to pick it up.
And that is it! What are some of the books that you have decided that you are no longer going to read? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!
