Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and The Bookish. Each week a new top ten list is posted, and to participate all you have to do is fill in YOUR top ten for the list.
Top Ten Books I Will Probably Never Read
1) 99 Days by Katie Cotugno: I really don't like books that feature cheating main characters, I just think that even if it's just a kiss you're still going to hurt a third party and as a person who went through this, it's awful.
2) The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien: This has nothing to do with the writing or author, I just remember that the cover of this book in my library had a very scary looking Hobbit and apparently I still haven't gotten over it.
3)Don Quixote: I think snobish people and many of my teachers made me sick of this book before even picking it up, yeah I get it's like the Bible of Spanish literature but reading it doesn't make you smarter/better than everyone else
4)Most Books by John Green: I read The Fault In Our Stars and I can say that the writing is beautiful but for a reason I just don't enjoy reading his books. Nothing personal against him I think he is an amazing writer person
5) Anything by Phillipa Gregory: I love history, and I understand that authors sometimes change some aspects of history to accommodate their stories but after reading one of her books and seeing her complete disregard for historical facts I decided she and I don't get along.

I loved The Hobbit and Don Quixote, but we all have the right to choose yes or no.
Here's mine!
I hope the terrifying Hobbit doesn't put you off forever, it's a great story. But I know what you mean about scary covers staying with you and making you not want to read books. I had awful trouble picking up one of the Tamora Pierce covers because there was a spider monster on the front - I had to find another cover and it still took me forever!

Haha! I love your reason for not reading The Hobbit! And it's just made me realise that I missed out a series of books for the exact same reason! Must add it on!

i totally agree about Philippa Gregory messing around with history, although I enjoy the movie and HBO series from her books for the entertainment value and costumes! Hope you'll stop by.

Have a great week!
John Green's An Abundance of Katherines was better than The Fault...at least that' what I think. :)
Maybe when I'm older I might read them but in the near future I just don't see it happening.
I'm trying to get over it, I even bough the book but I still can't bring myself to read it.
It's just one of those childhood things you have a hard time getting over but hopefully I'll be able to read it one day:)
I haven't seen the show, I think they never transmitted it here in Mexico but I'll definitely look for it!
I'd love to read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy but I've heard its quite a hard read. Still, never say never :-)
Interesting selection! Hope you're having a great day! Here's my TTT if you would like to check it out :-)
I'm willing to give him another chance but I don't think it'll be soon.
I already bout the Hobbit, so I guess the first step has been completed no I need to find the motivation to start reading it.
The HBO show was the White Queen about 2 years ago, so you should be able to get it on DVD if it's not somewhere else.
LOL about your reason for not reading The Hobbit! I personally did not enjoy it. I wouldn't have chosen to read it, but it was for school. :( Happy reading!:)
I didn't realise 99 Days had cheating in it. That totally puts me off!
I've heard many mixed things about it, add the fact that I didn't enjoy the movies and it doesn't motivate me to read it.
From the blurb and the reviews I've read the main character cheats on a pair of brothers.
Thanks! I'll definitely look for them on Amazon.
I had John Green on my list too, after my experience with TFIOS, I am not going near him again! I probably wouldn't read The Hobbit either. I hate it when authors change history too much-like you can tweak little bits but you can't change the entire history of the period!

Yes! There is just something about John Green that just doesn't appeal to me.
I completely understand!
