Anti-TBR Book Tag

I've seen this tag going around over on BookTube in the last couple of months of 2020, so I thought I'd share my answers here.

The video I got the questions from and the original video are both linked at the end of this blog post. In addition, the questions (and the questions alone, without my answers) are also at the end of this blog post so you can copy them and answer them.

1. A popular book EVERYONE loves that you have no interest in reading?

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I tried to read it years ago, but I couldn't get into it. I've watched the movies and enjoyed them, but I have absolutely no interest in reading the books.

2. A classic book (or author) you don't have any interest in reading?

A classic book: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I'm just...kind of eh with this book.

A classic author: F. Scott Fitzgerald. His books have just...never in reading any of his books.

3. An author whose books you have no interest in reading?

Sarah J. Mass. I understand why people like her books, but her books just never interested me or caught my attention.

3.2. A problematic author whose books you have no interest in reading?

J.K. Rowling. I really don't think I need to explain this.

4. An author you have read a couple of books from and have decided their books are not for you?

Martha Hall Kelly and Erin Morgenstern. I liked Martha Hall Kelly's two books I read - Lilac Girls and Lost Roses - but I can't see myself reading her other books. And with Erin Morgenstern: I saw the potential of The Night Circus and The Starless Sea, and I did enjoy them if I wasn't really trying to figure the story out. But I was just left confused by both of Morgenstern's books, so I don't think I'll read more of her books. 

5. A genre you have no interest in OR a genre you tried to get into but couldn't?

Sci-Fi. Again, this is something that I understand why people like this genre. But it's not a genre that I see myself reading.

6. A book you have bought but will never read? (You can have already unhauled and/or returned to the library unread.)

1,000 Places to See Before You Die (Revised Second Edition) by Patricia Schultz. I have this in the Kindle app, and I got it when I was still paying for Kindle Unlimited. I just don't see myself reading it UNLESS I have nothing else to read.

7. A series you have no interest in reading OR a series you started and then DNF'ed?

I mentioned The Hunger Games in Question 1, but another series I have no interest in reading is The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare.

8. A new release you have no interest in reading?

I'm not 100% sure I can name a specific new release. I just looked up some new releases, and I didn't see any titles that interested me. But if I HAVE to choose, I'd go with Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson. I haven't read any of his books, and don't plan to read any of them.
