Hello everyone!
Top Ten Tuesday is just how it sounds, a topic is picked and we put our
Top Ten for that in a post and share and check out everyone’s answers. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke andthe Bookish.
The top today is: 6 Bookish things I want to QUIT and 4 Books/series I have
1) Starting so many different books and having them
open. I like the books I’ve done this
too I just had other things (ARC’s or other books that I wanted to read more in
that moment) come up and then I forget and it is harder to get back into it.
2) Buying books just because they are on sale when I
had no intention of getting it before. I
am guilty of buying a book because it’s on a great sale or free but having no
intention of reading it.
3) Not writing my book reviews right away, or at
least my initial rambled thoughts and waiting until I have time after to sit
and write a full review and sometimes forgetting things I wanted to
mention. I have been doing better making
notes on the review document or my phone as something happens as I read so yay.
4) Starting a series and really enjoying it but then
losing track. As thousands of books come
out between reading it and the next you sometimes miss the news of a new book
(especially for the under-hyped ones).
5) Buying all the books in a series I’m not sure I’m
going to finish. Once upon a time I
couldn’t not finish, it would drive me crazy to leave something unfinished but
as I have gotten deeper into reading and there just isn’t enough time in the
day or days in the week and so on to read every book I need to accept that if I
didn’t love it and I’ve put off finishing it up this long I might not finish it
so save money and space for ones I’m dying to read!
6) Letting my personal pet peeves/issues ruin a book
for me. This is slow going for me. I’m thinking of a whole post about this, what
do you all think?
Books/Series I've Quit (since I only could think
of a few for each I'm splitting it lol):
7) The Fallen books by Thomas E. Sniegoski- I read
the first 2 bind ups back with The Vampire Diaries started and was a hit and
the made for TV movie/mini series of the books was on ABC family and I wanted
to see it because it had Stefan in it I figured I'd read them first. They were okay but I couldn't get into the
next one.
8) The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. This is like the above needing to finish even
though I wasn't into it. I hated most of
the characters in the book, but I had to know what happened as I was still
getting back into reading and didn't have a ton to read yet. I love the show and since they are so vastly
different (ie I love show Damon but HATED book Damon) made it all the way to
Moonsong.
9) Riley Bloom books by Alyson Noel Companions to the
Immortals series which I enjoyed back when I read them. I just couldn’t get into the Riley books and
never made it past book 1 even though they are super short. Guess I grew out of them.
10) Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy I started reading it
back when the movie with Keira Knightly came out but never could finish
it. I think I got about 25% before just
never picking it back up again. I don't
remember it being anything specific, I guess I just have to be in a really
specific mood for a historical fiction and/or a classic.
That's my list.
Tell me what bookish things or books/series you have or want to
quit. Also if you've done your own
version share a link so I can check it out!
