Top 4 Thursday is a bi-weekly meme hosted by Ally @ Ally Writes Things. If you haven’t done the T4T, what are you waiting for? In 2 weeks, we’ll be doing Top 4 Books you read because of something superficial. But THIS week, we talk about books with NO romance.
This is kind of tough one, actually. I’m pretty sure the books on my list have no romance, but there are always details about a book that I forget. So no pointing fingers and calling me names if something I listed has a smidgen of romance, okay?
Room
Pretty confident in this one.
Hex
Just about everything you can imagine happens in this book… except romance. There’s a married couple in it, and sure they probably love each other, but I can’t remember any straight-up romance.
The Hobbit
Not the movie version where Evangeline Lily shows up and falls in love with a dwarf. That didn’t happen in the book. Or it did and I don’t remember.
I Am Legend
Again, not the movie where humans are falling in love with humans, and vampires and falling in love with vampires. Just a man. Alone. Surrounded by monsters.
Fun fact about this post: Post number two for today. Sick of me yet?
Nice list!
I want to read Room and Hex at one point.
As much as i don’t like romance, i don’t mind reading about married couples. They are fascinating…
The first part of Hex is the most fascinating thing you’ll ever read. It’s married couples (and a bunch of other people, too) and how they live day to day lives along side this curse. There’s literally a witch that goes wherever she wants, whenever she wants, and the people in the town are so used to her that they just live AROUND her. It’s AMAZING!
Great list. Non romance is hard to find, I’m not sure I could come up with four!
It’s kind of subjective, too, isn’t it? I’m glad it wasn’t Top Books Without a Love Story, cause I don’t think that exists.
Love this meme and might rustle a post up for today 🙂
I don’t remember any romance in the Hobbit, so I think you’re good! Room has been on my TBR for FOREVER
I won The Room in a giveaway and it sounds super sad! It does sound like a book with no romance in it tho! I just read “The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble’s Braids” and there was absolutely no romance! (at least I didn’t notice any!)
Room is sad, and then happy, and then sad, and then happy, and then…
Yea I got that impression from the synopsis …. Thats why I haven’t read it yet 😂
