1. Game of Throne by George R.R. Martin - These books are just so long. I'm not sure I'm prepared to read them, or really if I want to read them.
2. & 3. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess - Since these are classics, I feel like I should read them but I've been told by a couple people that I should definitely NOT read them. So I'm torn.
4. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs - I liked this first book but I'm not sure I want to continue the story of these children.
5. Four a Divergent collection by Veronica Roth - I was kind of apathetic about Allegiant and Four's voice wasn't strong enough for me. I'm concerned that this book will also have that problem.
6. Linger & Forever by Maggie Stiefvater - I listened to Shiver and it was decent but it seemed to end in a pretty good place. I'm not sure I can make it through the rest of the trilogy. It feels a little to close to Twilight for comfort...(Not the writing, just the type of book.)
7. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini - This one may never get read by me. I feel like I should finish the series but I had to struggle through the rest of the series. So if I do read it, it won't be for a long time.
8. A Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling) - I want to read this but I'm not sure I will like it. And if I start I'm going to be compelled to finish the series and it's going to be a long series. I don't know if I can commit to such a long series.
9. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson - I've heard this trilogy is very good, but I'm hesitant to read trilogies at the moment. I've read a couple not so good endings recently and I'm a little tired of them.
10. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - The last book in the series seemed to wrap up nicely that it's tempting not to continue on. I haven't made up my mind yet.
Oh yes, the books from George Martin are quite the commitment, but I would say they are totally worth it :) I've read the first 3 books now (and want to wait with the others until the series starts again) and I loved them.
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading TMI after the third book.
