Hyped Books I Haven’t Read (and might not!)

This is a really fun post idea that I stole from Meeghan Reads, who originally stole it from Kristin Kraves Books. Both are great posts and should be read immediately. Probably even before reading this one. Mine can wait….

You’re back! Honestly, I wasn’t sure you were coming back. In fact, I was just about to leave.

Let’s do this! Most of these books are runaway successes that just about everyone has read and raved about. And for one reason or another, I haven’t. Some of them are on my shelf and I just haven’t found the time. Some I’m still trying to figure out if it should be on TBR or not. While others haven’t managed to pique my interest, and probably won’t. There might be some unpopular opinions here, so grab your pitch forks and light your torches now. Just to save time.

Books I PROBABLY won’t read (never say never, right?)

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

I’m not really interested in hearing about Evelyn’s first husband. The six after him don’t have a chance.

A Court of Thorns and Roses

This wildly popular series has yet to make me curious. I have no reasons as to why. It just hasn’t. Sorry. #notSorry

When Dimple Met Rishi

Romance. Meh.

Dumplin’

I fully support the idea/concept of this book, but I don’t think I want to read it. Gives me the impression I’d be reading a sassy version of Dance Moms.

Books I might read (we’ll see)

Turtles all the Way Down

Seems like more romance, but the fact that it mentions Star War fan-fic in the description moves this up to the maybe pile.

Divergent

Maybe it’s because I’ve already watched the movie that puts this one so low on my list. The movie was fine. Didn’t blow me away, but kept me interested. I think I’ll eventually audiobook this series.

Outlander

The story doesn’t scream at me, but I’m a wee bit obsessed with Scotland, so that might end being the deciding factor.

Books I’ll PROBABLY read

The Night Circus

Honesty time. This book was going to be in the “probably won’t read” section until I actually read the synopsis. I don’t know what it was, but something about this cover made me think it wasn’t a book for me at all. Seems like I was wrong. Don’t judge a book by it’s… how does that go again?

Children of Blood and Bone

This is another one that the cover put me off of. But I’ve heard way too many good things about it to ignore it.

Books I WILL read!

A Darker Shade of Magic

This might be the single book that’s been waiting the longest for me to crack its cover. Pretty much since I started blogging, it’s been there. Taunting me.

Warcross

Video games? Enough said. I’m in.

Scythe

This might be the year of Shusterman for me. I already read Challenger Deep, and this one will be happening this year as well.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This one was sent by my good friend Sam when she held a give-a-way. It was already on my TBR, but getting my copy from Sam for free put it pretty high on the old TBR!

The Cruel Prince (currently reading!)

This would have been in the MAYBE section, but the audiobook came up through the library, so I jumped. I’m only a few hours in, and it’s entertaining so far, but it’s not knocking my socks off. Maybe my expectations are too high?

Fun fact about this post: Believe it or not, there actually are some popular books I HAVE read!
