Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
Each week they post a new Top Ten List topic. If you would like to participate just add your url to their widget and make sure you link back to their blog in your post. You can participate even without a blog. Just make a comment below with your top ten!
I'm a day late, but I like this topic, just because a lot of you are going to hate my answers! Please feel free to comment and share your own picks. I didn't quite come up with ten. I'm usually pretty open to read most books except for the 7 variations below. In no particular order...
1. Vampires - Yep! Not for me. They may make you hot, you may think they're hot. I can't get Twilight out of my head, I'll never be able to read another Vampire book again. Even tried starting the True Blood series once. Bleh!
2. Love Story - I don't mind a love story beneath a bigger story. But, I don't like reading cheesy books that are nothing but you're typical, "she's so lonely, just needs a mister right" crap. Give me some content. Tell me about Ernest Hemingway's darkest moments and about his life in Paris WHILE you tell me about his first love affair/wife (The Paris Wife). You won't sell me on a story if you only say it's about falling in love. Sell it, because love is overrated for this chick!
3. New York Times Best Selling Author - Seems like this is usually a way to say, "Hey, they had a good book once and everyone loved it so you should automatically read every book every written by them and love it because they were once on our best seller list." No thanks, you can have your Dan Brown and your Nicolas Sparks. They're the same old stories, told in the same old way, from the same old authors. Next.
4. Series - AHHHHHH, I can't do it. I don't know why. I get bored too easily maybe? Whatever. Maybe I think I have to read them all at the same time. I've been wanting to read the Harry Potter series. I just can't talk myself into it. I'm weird I guess, everyone seems to love series. Oh well!
5. Movie adaptation covers - Not cool. If I'm going to read a book that's been made into a movie, I'm only going to read the original cover. I'm a snob I guess.
6. Romance - Just not my thing. See #2 about books that are only about love and have to bigger value.
7. Zombies - Nope. Basically same reason as #1, except I've never read a zombie novel that turned me off of them. I simple have absolutely none, a negative actually, desire to read them.
