Top Ten Hyped Books I’ve Never Read

  

  

Just One Day/Just One Year  by Gayle Forman  – I loved Where She Went and If I Stay. I remember grabbing Where She Went on an impulse at Target one day and reading it straight through.  When Just One Day came out, I just remember people either loving or hating it and that scares me because I’m not even sure which camp I’d be in and I don’t know that I want to ever hate a book by Gayle Forman.  I now own both… I’m sure I’ll read them someday.

Any Colleen Hoover Book after Hopeless –  I still remember when I first read Slammed and fell in love with Colleen Hoover’s writing.  This was WAY before all the crazy and hoopla that surrounds Colleen these days.  I don’t know why I haven’t read anything else by her…  I feel like maybe the crazy just scares me a bit. I’m not saying I don’t own all the books after Losing Hope, because I do.  I just don’t know when I might read them.

 

Jennifer E. Smith Books – I’m not even sure why I’m so fail on these… they sound cute, but Kass made me read the end of one for her once, and I just haven’t had the urge. I hear amazing things about them, but I don’t know…

 

Code Name Verity – I’ve been told I will cry.  Me. I. Will. Cry. So I’m totally afraid of what this book will do to me. I don’t cry you guys… I mean I do, but it’s gotta be super duper sad and emotional and I have to be in the mood for a book that’s going to make me cry.

The Deal by Elle Kennedy  –  EVERYONE was talking about these when they came out.  I honestly really enjoy Elle’s writing, I even just finished her Killer Instincts series.  And even my BFF keeps telling me that this is a must read.  I don’t know why I haven’t given this series a chance yet… I’m sure I’ll just be late to the party on it, and I’m totally okay with that.

 

I have every intention of reading this book/series but I don’t know if it is because the final book recently came out or what but I have been putting off diving into this one.  It sounds like it has everything I like so there is no doubt it will happen, I just don’t know when!

I actually started reading this when it first came out but then put it down.  I know people who absolutely love this series and I might eventually pick it up again but for now, it stays on my TBR pile.

This book has been on my monthly TBR list since it came out and I want to read this but I have been warned it will make me cry.  Don’t get me wrong, I will read this and I want to read it but I try to be careful about reading books that will make me cry in public and since most of my reading happens on planes these days, I don’t want to scare people with ugly crying.  I mean, if it makes my sister cry there is no doubt I will be too so this one is on the stack until I can lock myself away from the public for a weekend.

Please see my note above around the crying.  This is another one that I know what the story is about and will probably ugly cry about it. Knowing that people love this story makes me want to dive in but I have fear that I won’t be able to control the tears.

 I have no excuse around not reading this book other than the fact that I just haven’t.  I have heard about all the great things in this book/series but for some reason it just hasn’t made it to the top of my TBR pile yet.  Someday…just not today.
