Back in December I saw Jenn over at jenniely.com do this tag & I liked it, as it’s a bit controversial, so I thought I would give it ago! You can find Jenn’s post here!
A Really Hyped Book You’re Not Interested in Reading?
Anything by John Green… sorry not sorry. As far as I’m concerned he’s seriously overhyped, & isn’t he like, super problematic as well?? Idk, the stuff he writes just doesn’t appeal to me & something about him really annoys me.
A Series You Won’t Start/Won’t Be Finishing?
A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J. Maas – I’ve heard a lot of different opinions on the work of Maas, some of it has actually been incredibly positive, but I’ve also heard that Maas & her books are ableist, & are offensive in other ways as well & I just cannot be bothered with that! Plus, isn’t this the series that is planned to go on for agessssssss? That seems like too much effort.
A Classic That You’re Just Not Interested In?
People will probably hunt me down with pitchforks for this, but I just don’t have much interest in the Bronte sisters or any of their books *shrugs* Maybe I will pick something up by one of them when I’m older, but right now I’m just not interested in them.
Any Genres You’ve Never Read?
I’ve given most genres ago, but I don’t think I’ve ever read any erotica? I’ve read small passages of 50 Shades of Grey, but I’m not even sure if that counts as erotica because in places I know it’s hella abusive. I also don’t really dive into horror books.
A Book On Your Shelves You’ll Probably Never Actually Read?
Alice’s Adventures Underground… I picked up the copy I have because it’s ridiculously pretty, but right now I’m not very interested in reading it. I never liked the Disney adaptation of the book when I was a child & I still don’t understand the hype surrounding Wonderland.

I LOVE this tag– and I’m with you on A Court of Thorns & Roses series. I read the first one, and wasn’t that impressed by it!

I had the first one but after the bad reviews I swapped it for something else at YALC in the summer 😂

Every one of John Green’s books is hyped, and I imagine sometimes overhyped. I also agree with you that I can’t bring myself to finish Sarah J. Maas’s books. I might read the second book in A Court of Thorns and Roses, but I don’t see myself being able to finish the series. Thank you for tagging me. I’ll get to writing this on the weekend.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels that way about John Green! I was expecting to have at least one person shout at me for it 😂 I can’t wait to see your answers; be sure to tag me so I know when it’s up ☺️
