Hey guys I am so excited to do another Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. For this I decided to go through my past Down The TBR posts. I decided that would be helpful. Those posts have a lot of books I wanted to read but then I decided to remove from my list. So let’s dive in
If I Stay By Gayle Foreman
Reason: I put this on my list because of how many people loved this book. I decided that after rereading the plot for it, it wasn’t the book for me. Maybe one day I will check it out. It’s just not really on my radar.
Lolita By Vladimir Nabokov
Reason: This is a book I know is about a controversial topic. I don’t mind about the controversial topic. I just don’t think it’s something I really want to read about. This is a book I can see myself reading the summary of.
The Maze Runner By James Dashner
Reason: I own the book. I tried reading it and I couldn’t get into it. I feel now I am pretty much past my dystopian phase I don’t want to try to reread it. I no longer have any interest in it.
The Book Thief By Markus Zuask
Reason: I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book. It just isn’t my type of genre that I really would read. So I decided to remove it from my TBR.
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Reason: I saw the first movie of this series. I was thinking about reading the series and I just don’t have any interest in doing so.
The Stepford Wives By Ira Levin
Reason: This is another book which I saw the movie before actually reading the book. I thought the movie was okay but could be interesting in book form. It didn’t seem like it was a very good book so I decided to pass.
Red Rising By Pierce Brown
Reason: This is a book I have been hearing a lot of good things about. I know the author just came out with a new book. I know it’s a dystopian type book. I’m not really into dystopian books anymore.
Royal Wedding By Meg Cabot
Reason: So I told myself I would reread The Princess Diaries series before I read this one. I tried rereading them and I really couldn’t get into them at all. I use to read her Mediator series. She made an adult book for that. I didn’t really enjoy that. I felt the writing was trying way to hard. I didn’t enjoy it. So I decided I wasn’t going to bother with this one either.
The Heiresses By Sarah Shepard
Reason: Sarah Shepard is one of those authors that’s my guilty pleasure. I’ve never finished a series by her even though I told myself I would. One day I will finish Pretty Little Liars. Anyway, this is a series she started a couple of years ago. I haven’t heard about this getting a book two yet. So I decided I’m not going to bother with this until I hear otherwise.
Snuff By Chuck Palahniuk
Reason: I have read a couple of Chuck’s books. He’s usually an author who I’ll buy if I don’t own the book. I was reading the books for this one and it just seemed like he was trying to hard. So I decided I’m just not going to bother with this one.
Have you guys read any of these books? Do you think I should add any of them back to my TBR?
What are some books you’ve recently decided you’re no longer interested in reading?
Bookish In Bed 
the premise for Lolita makes me CRINGE so badly!!!!!! ❤ and I read If I Stay and it's basically the most depressing book ever written.
these are good choices 😀

I really disliked If I stay, it’s so cringy at times I dont understand why so many people love it xD I’d say Red Rising is more of a sci-fi fantasy then dystopian but I guess there is an evil ruler so I see how it can be classified as one. Great list!

You’re one of the first people I’ve heard say that about If I Stay. I feel majority of people really enjoy it. I was thinking of reading it but the summary didn’t sound interesting to me. Hm if Red Rising is more sci-fi, I think I might rethink putting it on this list.

I’m actually very eager to read Red Rising some time this year 😆 But we have a lot in common! I’m also not interested in Maze runner, The book thief, and Angels & Demons (I read and loved the 1st book and movie but don’t have energy for the 2nd)

I feel at some point I’ll read Red Rising. Last couple of times I tried reading a dystopian book I couldn’t get into it. So I just need some time.
I’m bad at keeping up with serieses so I feel that would happen with me. I’m trying to get better at that though.
