Being brutally honest about books

Top Ten Hyped Books I've Never Read

 
Top Ten Tuesday is an awesome weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I've never participated before but I've seen many top 10 posts from the blogs I follow, and this week's prompt was too good to resist!

1.
 Twilight (Twilight, #1)

Do I even need to explain?

2.
Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)

I have zero interest in reading about abuse disguised as porn and romance.

3.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)

Apparently I'm really weird for not having ever read the Harry Potter series, but I have never had the slightest interest in the books. The films are okay, though.

4.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower  

I watched the movie and just didn't understand the hype. I wasn't motivated to read the book. 

5.
The Book Thief 

I'll read it someday, when I get around to it. I promise, Mum!

6.
More Than This

My sister said I have to read this, and she never recommends books to me. So it must be excellent.

7.
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)

Another one of those "when I get around to it" books.

8. 

You know why I haven't read it? Because it's not bloody written yet! It's rapidly approaching five years since I put this on my to-read list, and other fans of the series have been waiting for thirteen years. Excuse my passive-aggressiveness, but this is insane.

9.
The Silmarillion (Middle-Earth Universe)

Love Middle-earth, can't stand Tolkien's writing style. I struggled through Lord of the Rings, so I very much doubt I'd be able to handle The Silmarillion
10.
 Les Misérables
I loved the 2012 movie, but fans refer to the book as the Brick for a reason. I don't have the time, energy, or patience to read it.
