Top 5 Wednesday - Books You Won't Read. Ever.

Top 5 Wednesday - 27th May 2015
Books You Won't Read. Ever.

My first Top 5 Wednesday post! This week, I will be counting down my top five books that I will never ever read.




5) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Fantasy isn't one of my favourite genres and it tends to be that they are all series which I prefer standalones or at least short series. For a genre that I don't necessarily enjoy, Outlander is a very large book which I don't think I have the energy or time to read. I'd much rather read other books.






4) Shades of Earth by Beth Revis

I read Across the Universe a few years back and really enjoyed however for some reason haven't got round to reading a million suns yet. I will not though, be reading Shades of Earth for the reason of the covers. The covers for the first two books are beautiful and then they ruined it by changing the covers for the third one which I believe is really ugly. I don't want to ruin my shelves with it.







3) Struck by Lightning by Chris Colfer
I am a huge Glee fan and when I heard about Chris Colfer's book, I immediately went out to get it but somehow never managed to read it. I did (shameful of me I know), watched the film before the book. I really did not like the film. I thought it was really depressing and I know the topic is a sad but important one, I felt all the issues discussed were really blown out of proportion and now I don;t want to read the book. LESSON: read the book before the movie!





2) My Perfect Life by Dyan Sheldon
After reading the first book (Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen), not managing to finish it and rating it only 1.5 stars, I don't think I will be carrying on with this series. I just felt the writing was slow and plot weak and I really couldn't get into this series so will not be finishing it.






1) Stand Off by Andrew Smith
This is probably my most controversial one on the list. The second book in the Winger series and I will not be continuing after very much disliking Winger. Again, I thought the plot had no substance and everyone told me to stick it out until the plot twist which I found very disappointing. I will not be reading anymore books in this series. Ever.

  1. I really wish I didn't want to read Outlander. I want to like it, but just don't know. Great list.
