Top Ten Tuesday (26): To Read or Not To Read

Hosted by: the Broke and Bookish

This Week's Topic: Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want To Read

I haven't done one of these post in so long! And I thought this one would a be a good one to do. I have quite a few of these and I'm going to include a little bit of everything from overhyped to just not interested anymore. 

1. The Fault In Our Stars - This book was way too over hyped for me so I was already hesitant. And then I let my mom read it before me and she spoiled the crap out of it so I pretty much lost interest after that. I mean when my mom spoils a book, SHE SPOILS A BOOK! From page one to the end...

2. Soul Screamers  - Once again, I let my mom get to the series before me (she reads faster than I do). And she spoiled me. I can you what happened from book one to the end of the series and I haven't cracked open a none of the volumes (and I have them all). KEY ISSUE: Stop letting your mom beat you to the books. She can't help herself. She must talk about the books when she finishes it lol

3. Die For Me - This is a book I've had on my shelf for years. I wanted to start the series, but I kept pushing it off and now I don't know when I'll ever get to it.

4. Uglies - I just don't think I have an interest in reading the book anymore. 

5. Falling Under - I honestly don't even know why I bought this book.I think it was on sale for $3 and I just decided to get it.

6. Pushing the Limits - It's been so long since the first book came out, but I do want to give it a try.

7. Just One Day - I love If I Stay and Where She Went but haven't decided on this one yet.

8. Fifty Shade of Grey - Thing is, I started it months ago. I just don't know if I'll find time to finish it. I didn't hate it, but I was busy at the time and just stopped reading it.

9. Friday Night Bites - I enjoyed book one, but I'm so far behind in the series idk if I'll ever catch up.

10. Hallowed - I think I've lost interest in the trilogy. Book one was good, but I don't think I'll ever read the sequel.

Top Ten Tuesday (24): Top Ten Reasons I Love Being A Blogger/Reader

Hosted by: the Broke and Bookish

This Week's Topic: Top Ten Reasons I Love Being A Blogger/Reader

(In No Particular Order!)

1. It's fun! I absolutely love reading, but never really got to share my love for reading with anyone because most people I know, besides my mom and a friend or two, think my love for reading is weird.

2. #1 leads me into #2 and that is getting the chance to talk to a variety of different people who also have a love for books :) I love discussing books with other and seeing the different opinions that people have.

3. Discovering new books :) Until I started blogging I didn't really realized how many different types of books there was. I use to just stick with the same old same old books, like romance. Right around the time I started blogging I had just gotten into the YA genre and blogging helped me discover so many new books.

4. Getting the opportunity to interview authors or doing guest posts.  Also, receiving early review copies. I mean, how awesome is that!

5. Exploring my local library. I have never had a library card and had many been to my local library like twice before I started blogging. Let me just say, that my local library is amazing! I now love going there and getting books :)

6. Goodreads and other blogs have become a life saver! I seriously use to waste so much money on books I could have avoided if I had known what the hell goodreads was like 5 years ago. Reading reviews help me out so much!

7. I don't know, my mind is starting to draw a blank, but I love that I can be myself when I'm writing my reviews and other posts. I get to speak my mind and thoughts on books because, you know, it's my blog!

8. I love reading because it's so relaxing. I can grab a  book and just submerge myself in the story. It helps to free my mind when I'm stressing or upset about something.

I don't really keep track of new debuts, but these are a few that have caught my eye. I'm curious to see if I'll like them or not if I decide to get a copy. Two of the books I already have as review copies, the Murder Complex and Love Letters to the Dead, but I have yet to read them.

I could only think of seven books, but I decided I wanted to do a 'Top Ten Tuesday' post because I haven't done one in so long!
