Books I Want to Read But Don’t Want to Read Tag

I found this book tag on Chelle’s Book Ramblings be sure to check out her post too and share the love ❤

I think the main reason my TBR stays as big as it is is that I feel this way about so many books. Something will catch my attention, I’ll want to read it and add it to my pile but then I never actually pick it up despite looking at it and thinking “I must read that soon”. So here are some of those books…

📚 A BOOK THAT YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO READ BECAUSE EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT IT

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Oh my gosh, the hype around this series and this author in general is unreal! Every time I come across it I think I must read it and I’ve bought the first book but still haven’t gotten around to it.

📚 A BOOK THAT’S REALLY LONG

Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey

This book is just over 1000 pages long which is pretty daunting but I’ve heard such good things about it I really want to read it. I keep putting if off because I’m afraid it’s going to take 300 pages for it to really get into the story and that’s pretty much an entire regular length book.

📚 A BOOK YOU’VE OWNED/HAD ON YOUR TBR FOR TOO LONG

Angel’s Blood by Nalini Singh

I have this ebook sitting on my kindle since 2013. I have no reason for not reading it. I like the author and it’s right smack in my genre. I think I’m just so used to saying I’ll read it later that I just keep doing it.

📚 A BOOK THAT IS ‘REQUIRED’ READING
(EG, SCHOOL TEXT, REALLY POPULAR CLASSIC – SOMETHING YOU FEEL OBLIGATED TO READ!)

I’m not in school anymore so I’m going to mention a classic

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I have no idea why I haven’t read this yet! I love the adaptations of it and I’ve read a few retellings but never the actual book. I feel like I’m so familiar with the story there’s no real reason to read it.

📚 A BOOK THAT INTIMIDATES YOU

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

This book is just over 1000 pages long as well and has an historical and magical setting. I feel like I might struggle to keep up with what’s happening in it.

📚 A BOOK THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE SLOW

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I feel this way about most classics I just picked Jane Eyre because it’s been on my shelf for awhile now. I think this about classics because I’m often familiar with the plot and I just expect them to be less exciting. I’m almost always corrected by the reading of them though.

📚 A BOOK YOU NEED TO BE IN THE RIGHT MOOD FOR

Every book

I’m very much a mood reader. I’ve read books and disliked them but loved them on rereads because I wasn’t in the right mood the first time I read them.

I read a few very different genres though as well so my mood decides whether I want romance or horror or whatever.

📚 A BOOK YOU’RE UNSURE IF YOU WILL LIKE

The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride

I’m unsure about this one because the entire book is written as a stream of consciousness. It seems like it will be a bit of a struggle to read at least at the beginning.
