This one is making the rounds, so I’m not 100% sure who to credit for it… Whoever you are, thanks for the blog prompt!
1. A really hyped book you’re not interested in reading.
Just about anything by Kristin Hannah, really. Or Liane Moriarty. I tried one of hers once and could not get into it. There’s something about literary women’s fiction that puts me off. I can’t identify with the characters at all.
2. A series you won’t start/be finishing.
Everything I’ve read about the Court of Thorns and Roses books is just a no for me. I also tried reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and couldn’t get into it, so I won’t continue on that one. Same with the Game of Thrones books. (Yes, okay, A Song of Ice and Fire.)
3. A classic that you’re just not interested in.
Just about anything by Charles Dickens. We had to read Great Expectations in school, and it was excruciating. Though not as bad as Les Misérables. So I won’t read any more Victor Hugo either.
4. Any genres you never read.
I don’t read erotica. Not my thing. Not into westerns or hard sci-fi either.
5. A book on your shelves you’ll probably never actually read.
I’ve had Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell on my shelf for a long, long time. Watched and loved the television adaptation but will probably never actually heft the book to read it.
