Hi, there! Good night 😀 It’s Tuesday, so it’s Top 10 Tuesday day! This meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and my theme today is Books I’ll Never Read – you know, because I’m a rebel lol
Until some months ago, I’d say “never say never” to any kind of book. Nowadays, with such a tight read and review schedule, I decided to put my feet on the floor. Life is too short for me to read books that people think that are awesome. I have to read a book because I think it is awesome! And the books in this list are not my cup of tea, so I don’t see myself reading any of them, sorry!
- Paper Towns, by John Green
Sorry, John Green so far is not for me. The end.
- Bared to You, by Sylvia Day (or any book by Sylvia Day actually)
This author and series were recommended to me by a very good friend on Instagram, but honestly? Nothing about it appeals my tastes: contemporary, heterosexual erotic, romance and first person narrative. I can see myself just jumping out my window, so I gave up on trying 😦 I’m so sorry!
- Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden
Lots of people keep talking about how wonderful this book is, but again: not my cup of tea.
- The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho (or any book by Paulo Coelho, ever)
I don’t care that I should support Brazilian Literature. I simply can’t stand Paulo Coelho on a personal level. Therefore, I can’t respect him enough to read his works. I do not wish to disrespect anyone, but I can’t with him.
- Life of Pi, by Yann Martel
Nope, not something I’d pick up. Ever. I didn’t even batted my eyelashes to the movie, haha. Okay, maybe this isn’t a big thing coming from me, oops! (to understand what I’m talking about, please read this post).
- Millennium Trilogy, by Stieg Larsson
Again, I’m sorry, but this series sounds no big deal for me.
- Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert
How this book got so known again? I’m confused. (I’m happy for the author to be recognized and all, but seriously?)
- If I Stay, by Gayle Forman
I have a low tolerance for drama, I cry too easily and feel heavy and depressed all day long after reading/watching it, haha! So, yeah, not reading this one.
- Me Before You, by Jojo Moyes
Again, I can’t deal with drama, oops!
- Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown
I like my mysteries with other kinds of elements 🙂
That’s it, thanks for reading! Which books don’t appeal to you?
The Book Adventures of Annelise Lestrange 
You are not missing anything with Eat Pray Love… It was so boring I DNF it. I don’t understand the hype.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I felt reading the blurb! D: I just don’t understand the hype either ://

I agree with most of these. A couple I had to read for class back in high school, and they turned out to be ok, but not great. I’m not a huge John Green fan, so I probably won’t pick up his books. Same with just overhyped books in general. I feel like the hype ruins the book for me.

Sometimes, I feel just the same about hyped books! Especially in genres like contemporary and dystopian… But yeah, it’s nothing personal, right? Those books are just not a part of our tastes lol
