Top Ten Tuesday | Things That Make Me Instantly NOT Want to Read a Book

Hello Bookworms!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.

Today’s prompt is Things That Make Me Instantly NOT Want to Read a Book. There are definitely things I decide not to read or just turn me off once in a book. This should be fun to compile!

1.) Open Endings – This is pretty self explanatory. I just want to know how everything worked out and where their lives took them in a year or two! Give me all of the details!

2.) Friends-to-Lovers – I do still try these every now and again, but most of the time they end up being a dud. I will say that if I see it advertised as this trope I do tend to steer clear and pick up something else ha.

3.) Reverse Harems – I am pretty simple and just want one romantic partner.

4.) Dark Romances / Bully Romances – I just don’t find myself interested in these and feel like I would get angry while reading because I don’t think I would like the characters.

5.) Horror – It’s a genre I don’t like haha. I know some books I have read have this as a sub-category but the horror part is usually quite minimal.

7.) Problematic Content / Authors – Another self explanatory one!

8.) Writing Style – Sometimes I just end up DNFing base on this factor alone. It can be very hard to get into a book because of it.

9.) Cheating (to an extent!) – I’m fine with the MC getting cheated on as a plotline but when the MC is in a relationship and finds themself as the cheater is a no-go. I’ve also DNFed a book where the husband said “Hey, let’s give each other free passes to do whatever with another person.” It was to strengthen their relationship and I passed. It’s just not something I like.

10.) Too Many Nods to Social Media, Actual Companies, Etc – It reminds me of all of the closeup in movies for brands lol. I think it can become too much at times.

Do we have any in common? Would some of these turn you off from reading a book?

Top Ten Tuesday | Things That Make Me Instantly Want to Read a Book

Hello Bookworms!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.

Today’s prompt is Things That Make Me Instantly Want to Read a Book! This should be a easy one to do because I can already think of quite a lot on the top of my head!

1.) Enemies-to-Lovers: This is my all time favorite trope and I love it so much!

2.) Banter (and lots of it!): I love when this is combined with the first because it just adds to the tension between them.

3.) Gorgeous Cover: I am a sucker for a good cover and it is usually the first thing that catches my attention.

4.) Auto-Buy Author: Here are just a few that I would instantly buy Danielle L. Jensen, Katherine Arden, Joanna Ruth Meyer

5.) Small Town Setting: There is something about a small town and maybe it is because I live in one! Usually a small town creates a great community.

6.) Fantasy: It’s a genre that anything I see in that broad genre I will try haha.

7.) Animal Companions: Whether they are their own character that talks or a small companion that follows them around as the comedic relief just give it all to me!

8.) Hidden Identity: Lost royal or someone pretended to be someone else it’s all so intriguing!

Do we have any in common? Would some of these make you want to read a book?

Top Ten Tuesday | Things Getting in the Way of Reading

Hello Bookworms!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.

Today’s prompt is Things Getting in the Way of Reading. Another easy week. 😂

1.) My family: I am either doing something with my daughter, outside gardening or spending time with my mother-in-law, playing a game with my husband, or talking on the phone with family that doesn’t live close. It does take up a lot of time but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

2.) Gaming: I love playing videogames and so my time is usually taken up with World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XXIV. It depends on what game has something new for me to get into but I do like both!

3.) Errands: Whether its doctor trips or going to Walmart it takes up time!

4.) Cleaning: This feels like an very day thing, especially when I am also after my daughter for not cleaning up after herself lol.

5.) Social Media/Phone: I spend way too much time scrolling through stuff and it usually happens when I am not interested in my current read.

6.) Naps: I usually tend to snuggle up and then fall asleep. Oops!

What keeps you from reading?
