♥ Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want To Read... For Whatever Reason ♥
Obviously my TBR list is lengthy, just as yours. I add a book and forget about it - why it's there, why it appealed to me in the first place. Unless, of course, it's by an author I really like(d) or has had LOTS of buzz. I came up with a few for this list on my own, but then I ventured over to Goodreads to see my list of books to-read. I tried to choose books that I remember putting on there, rather than the miscellaneous ones I thought "I don't even remember your cover, your title." :) That being said...
Anything New by Lauren Oliver
 |
| I want to read this one, but I'm scared I'll not like it. :( |
Hate that statement. I *loved* the Delirium series... even the last one. But I've also read Before I Fall & Panic, and I didn't love either of those. In fact, I barely liked Panic at all. I only finished it because it was Lauren Oliver and I was expecting it to be/get better.
Anything New-ish by Jodi Picoult
 |
| This is one of my favorites of hers. |
Guilt. That's what I feel over this one. I fell in love with Jodi's books many moons ago, and devoured them. I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on them. And I still want to own them all. Maybe one day I will read them again. I think the problem may be that they started getting so incredibly heavy and full of such controversial subjects that I just bogged down in them. I still think she's an awesome author, I just stopped wanting to be in her stories. I've read them all up to House Rules, I think. I think that's where I stopped, anyway. ;)
Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling
I, like hordes of others, LOVED Harry Potter. There's a few authors I would read anything they write - even it were a take on the alphabet or a phone book - but this one? It's on my shelf. I might read it. I don't know. I've heard so many things about it. I don't expect it to be anything like HP... I don't know what to even expect.
The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler
I think 13 Reasons Why is one of the best books ever. But I've heard some negative reviews about this one, so, while it sits on my shelf collecting dust, I have yet to make a decision about whether or not to read it.
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
I read The Mortal Instrument Series before it became more than three books. And that felt like a solid ending, really. So do I want to go on? I own this one, so it's definitely a possibility. And I really like Cassandra Clare's writing/storytelling. But I think I would have to re-read or refresh my memory on what happened in the first three.
Flutter by Gina Linko
I won this book in a giveaway a while back. I just haven't "felt" it any time I've picked it up as an option.
The Archived by Victoria Schwab
This has been on my Kindle for ages. I love the concept, I just can't get into it (and I've tried a few times). Do I need to get past a certain point? That could be the issue. I don't know.
Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
This sounds promising and has great reviews, so why am I wary? I have no clue.
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Malissa loved this one so I should be all over it. It sits on my shelf, waiting to be read, but I just don't know.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
I have an ARC of this one that I got off the YA Book Exchange. While I think I like the premise, I don't know if I want to read it, despite good reviews.
So... convince me. Do I read these? Or do I let them go?
Smiles,
