Nope, No Thank You


Hello Lovelies!! Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish! This topic is a little hard for me because I try not to deal in absolutes, but here we go...

Top Ten Books I Will (probably) Never Read


The Lord of The Rings (1-3): Sorry everyone! I read The Hobbit, and I wasn't a fan. And I've tried to start FotR like three times and I just can't. I can't do it. I'm a failure. Take away my nerd cred.


The Magician King and The Magician's Land(4-5): Considering how much I hated The Magicians, I have absolutely no interest in continuing the series.


Blue Bloods series(6): I had the first book in this series for like six years and never read it. I started it, but I just couldn't do it. And now it just sounds like I wouldn't like it anymore. Whoops.


The Immortals series(7): I just don't think this one sounds that good. I'm way more interested in her other series.


The Gone series(8): I thought these sounded pretty interesting until I found out how much of a douchecanoe Michael Grant is through a comment he posted on The Horn Book's Roger Reads Blog. Nope. Can't read anything by him now.


The House of Night novels(9): I mean, I would honestly probably like these, but there are so many, and I'm not sure I'm willing to wade through the crap to get to the good stuff. Soorrrrry.


Guy in Real Life(10): maybe this is cheating since I DNF'd it a while back, but I will never finish this one. It just irritated me. And I know the ending.

Are any of these on your lists? Let me know in the comments!!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
