This is my first time participating in this meme. I've seen it around and never had a chance to participate. It's hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. My first one happens to be a difficult one to answer, but here it goes...
What are the top ten books you will probably never read?
1. Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse and Breaking Dawn - I read the first two books in the Twilight series and they really didn't grab me like it did everyone else. So, I seriously doubt I'll be finishing this series.
2. E.L. James' books from the Fifty Shades series (after #1) - I read the first one and had trouble finishing it (although I did read the whole thing) and am not interested in reading anymore.
3. Political memoirs - Boring to me!
4. Classics - I always say I'm going to read the classics, but I never have time for them. I'm more of a modern day reader. (Although Jane Austen still has a chance to be read by me.)
5. Harry Potter Series - No interest in this series at all.
6. Historicals - I keep saying I'm going to read an historical romance, but I never have time. Like I said above, I'm more of a modern day reader and prefer the contemporaries.
7. Young Adult - I've read a couple and they are "ok", but it's not really a genre that interests me very much.
8. Biographies - Unless they are an auto-biography of a celebrity I like, I don't bother with biographies.
9. The Walking Dead books - I absolutely love the series, but prefer not to read it.
10. Outlander series - Now, this is a difficult one because I really, really want to read these books. It's all about lack of time for me because these books are just so long. I prefer books in the 250-350 page range and these books are in the 1000+ range. It will take me forever to read them.
Okay, that's what I came up with for now. What's on your list?
I enjoyed your honest post, Yvonne! I am not sure which books would be on my own list. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI am not much into reading classics either. I actually did finish the Twilight series but I really can't remember much about them. I love Harry Potter but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

I also don't plan on reading Harry Potter. I watched all the movies. but don't if the books are worth the time.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Top Ten Tuesday
There are several things on your list that could appear on mine (if I had made it this week) too. However, I am a Harry fan. I've read Outlander twice and then just have never taken the time to move on in the series. Maybe on audio. :-)
ReplyDeleteHear you on 50, never gonna happen
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you here this week for the first time at Top Ten! I agree with your list...good job.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Outlander. People keep telling me I need to read it and so many people love it but if I'm being really honest I don't really see myself picking it up anytime soon. I feel the same way as you about the rest of the 50 Shades trilogy and YA in general!
