Lin's Perspective

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.
Today’s prompt: Quotes From/About Books (Share book quotes you love, quotes about being a reader, etc.)

Happy Tuesday! We have had lovely weather these past couple of days and are always outside playing with the little one. Today’s topic is not really inspiring me, so I will go rogue and do one from previous TTT: Books I have decided I am no longer interested in reading!

1. Anything by Sarah J. Maas, sorry for the fans out there, but there are so many other books waiting, and I don’t want to waste my time reading series upon series. I mean nothing against whoever likes the books or the author, I just don’t think her books would be my cup of tea.
2. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara: way too many triggers in here for me, I don’t want to put myself in a situation where I deliberately read something horrible, and then I activate old traumas. Hard pass.
3. The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon: This one was a very hyped book. However, I am past the insta-love, insta anything phase, and I know I would not enjoy it.
4. Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross: I don’t particularly remember enjoying the first book, and honestly I can’t recall anything from the story, so not interested in these books anymore.
5. Watership Down by Richard Adams: It really pains me ot be adding these series here, believe me, I really wanted to read them. But I know I am a crybaby, and I know I would be hurt, so again don’t want to go through that.
6. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo: I tried reading this book on several occasions, but it is not for me.
7. Wilder Girls by Rory Power: No, not feeling this one either. Also, I don’t usually read horror. There are a few exceptions here and there, and this one did not make the cut.
8. Wolfsong by T.J. Klune: Even though I love Klune’s writing, this one is a pass. After learning about the age gap and underage romance, no. It doesn’t matter if nothing happened until later, still, a 16-year-old falling in love with a 10-year-old, I’d rather not support this agenda, thanks.
9. Saint Catherine by Anna Meyer: I thought I might enjoy this graphic novel, but reading some reviews made me rethink, and I see it won’t do it for me.
10. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood: Last but not least, this would give me nightmares. Speculative literature should not be on my radar, it only gives me anxiety and fear that whatever is going on might actually happen if not happening already in real life.

Happy reading! Which book/s don’t you feel like reading anymore, and why?
