Hi and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post! Just like last week, I’m going rogue this week as the original topic sounds way too hard. I can’t come up with any unpopular bookish opinions! So, I checked the archives again and I choose the topic for September 9, 2019: Books On My TBR I Avoid Reading and Why. So, it’s time to spill some tea I guess!
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. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
- A Promised Land by Barack Obama – I have no idea how I got this one, but I have the ebook. However, it’s a chonker and I’m not the biggest nonfiction reader out there. So, I keep avoiding it. Will I ever read it? I’m not sure at this point.
- Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender – I have this on my TBR for forever, but I keep forgetting about it. Not anymore, nope. I will finally be reading this one soon I suppose!
- Code of Honor by Alan Gratz – I have this book on my TBR for years as well, but I keep looking for the longer books so I can catch up on my reviews and therefore keep forgetting about it.
- Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I got this book as a present many years ago, but the reviews aren’t that great, so I keep avoiding it.
- Golden Throne by Julie Johnson – This is book 2 in the “Forbidden Royals” series and whereas I really enjoyed the first book, I avoid picking up the others. This is not a case of plainly avoiding, but just prioritizing other books it seems.
- Our Dark Duet by V.E. Schwab – I read This Savage Song years ago but found it so so. I therefore keep avoiding the sequel. I own it, but I think I removed it from my reading tracker apps.
- Vengeful by V.E. Schwab – I think this is not the author for me. I read Vicious and wasn’t the biggest fan either. So naturally I keep avoiding the sequel.
- Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas – Of course I read The Hate U Give once it was released, even saw the movie, but I never picked up the prequel. I own it but keep avoiding it somehow. I have no idea why actually.
- The Fell of Dark by Caleb Roehrig – Another book I’ve been owning for a longer while now but keep avoiding. I think I just forgot about it, although I liked other books by this author. But this is a YA novel, and I might have outgrown it by now.
- Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer – I keep avoiding this book because it’s contemporary with a touch of magic and I’m not sure if this will be for me in the end. This author is mostly known for her fantasy stories and this is something different. I still own the audiobook though.
Are there any books on your TBR you avoid reading and if so, why?
