As I’m sure is the
case with many of us, there are some books we just don’t think we’ll ever read,
either because we simply don’t have enough time in the day to get to them or
because their premises don’t really interest us anymore.
I have three such
books that I want to talk about today, and I’ve explained below each one why
they’ve made it onto this list. Oh, and before I begin, I have to say that
these aren’t the only books I’ll probably never get to, but they’re just the
ones I can think of at this particular moment.
Paper
Princess by Erin Watt and Jude Frederick
It’s kind of a
weird story as to how this book made this list. I don’t own a copy of Paper Princess, but I downloaded a
sample on Kindle, simply because I’d heard nothing but good things and the
blurb sounded epic. However, I only read the first few pages of the sampler and
I had to stop. It turns out the main character, who was 17 years old, was a
stripper two years ago. Now, don’t get me wrong, a woman or man can strip if
he/she wants to, but stripping at 15! WTH!?! I just couldn’t even get past
that, no matter how sexy the main characters sound.
Ignite
Me by Taherah Mafi
I think I’ve
talked about this one on the blog before, but I can’t get past how Mafi changed
the love triangle. Now, I don’t mind love triangle changes, and I try not to
base my dislike of a book off of them, but I loathed Warner throughout this
series. He was a creepy stalker and a terrible person. I don’t know if I can
ever finish this series.
Inheritance
by Christopher Paolini
It took soooooo
long for this book to come out. I loved the first and second books in this
series, but the third one let me down a little. I wanted more, and I didn’t get
it. Unfortunately, the books can’t get a redemption story because I just don’t
want to pick up the last book. I even tried to read Inheritance when it first came out, but I couldn’t. I have a vague
idea of the ending, simply because I googled it, but otherwise, I’ll never know
what happens. *sigh*

Well, there you
have it. Those are a few of the books that I don’t think I’ll ever read. Like I
said up above, there’s probably more I could add to this list, I simply can’t
think of them right now.
What are some
books that you own or were interested in once upon a time that you just don’t
think you’ll ever get to for whatever reasons? Let me know in the comments.
