Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish every Tuesday.
Today is once again Top Ten Tuesday! Sadly, I haven’t posted
a Top Ten in a while L
(I’ve been slacking.) So, today’s topic is the Top Ten Words/Topics That Will
Make You NOT Pick Up a Book! Oooh!!!!!!!!!! This is a good topic for me because
I tend to be kind of picky! Without further ado….
10. Animals- I do not like books where animals are main or
secondary characters. They always inevitably die during the book….this makes me
cry.
09. Terminal Illness- In case you don’t know, I hate books
that make me cry. I like everything to by roses and great big balls of
sunshine. (I will occasionally make an exception i.e. The Probability of
Miracles by Wendy Wunder.)
08. Reincarnated Lovers/Soul mates- This just does not appeal
to me in the slightest. Someone else always comes along to mess it up between
them. I also don’t believe that they can be the same people and it’s hard for
me to believe they automatically “belong” together.
07. Theft- I don’t like books about people who steal. No
particular reason…I just don’t. (With exception of Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. I
LOVE this book!)
06. Married People Cheating- I just refuse to read this
topic. Those books about a spouse having some epic and torrid love affair…not
for me. If you are going to “cheat” either grow the balls to tell that person
and be honest or leave.
I do not want to be stuck here.
04. Egyptian Mythology- This is hard for a lot of authors to
get “right”. Most of the time it comes across as cartoonish and it is hard for
me to believe in the world trying to be created.
03. Main Character/Love Interest Dies- No…Just No. Life in
general is depressing enough that I don’t want to pay money for a
book/entertainment that is just going to depress me even more. (Mr. Nicholas Sparks this means you!)
Seriously...this is too hot to die no matter how old!I want to pretend they turned into vampires and lived in hotness happily ever after.
02. Mysteries- I am an impatient person. I don’t want to
play a whodunit game that is 350 pages long. Books like this are too tempting
that I can’t put off reading the end just to see if everything turns out the
way I want it. If it doesn’t…I won’t read the book and there goes my money.
01. Amnesia- As stated above…I am impatient!!!!!! I want
them to remember now and there to be no mystery. When I see the word amnesia my
mind automatically dismisses that book.

I have pets dying on my list, too. So sad. I also agree with infidelity and desert settings. Great list!

One of the love interests dying is an automatice dismissal for me. It is just too depressing. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteReading about married people cheating is an automatic turnoff for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree - I avoid reading books about animals because they almost always die. ):
Awesome list! :D
My TTT
Cheating is just a NO for me.
DeleteI hereby add your number 6 to my list as well! I also get the amnesia thing!
ReplyDeleteAmensia..a sneer comes to my face at that. Half the time the person with "amnesia" is faking it.
