Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish which has now found a lovely new home at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is to share 10 books we are no longer interested in reading! I recently took quite a lot of books off my TBR and here are 10 of those!
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
2. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
3. The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
4. Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
5. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
6. Roseblood by A.G. Howard
7. The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry
8. We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson
9. Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch
10. Nemesis by Anna Banks
And there you have it! 10 books I’ve removed from my TBR because they just don’t capture me as much as they did initially. I’d definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts about any of these which you may have read though!

I wanted to read SJM’s work since it has been recommended everywhere but I just lost interest in the book…?

Hi! I could do without The Catcher in the Rye 🙂 I did love The Love That Split the World!

I’ve had a lot of these books on my TBR list for so long and I never got around to reading them. So many more books came after them and they kind of just got forgotten, sigh.

This is basically what happens to me. I have so many on my TBR that I end up forgetting completely about some and then realise I never really wanted to read them as much as I first thought!

Ah, Nemesis. Certainly intended to read it, but never got around to it. Same with Veronica Roth and Sarah J Maas — so glad this TTT showed me there were others that felt the same about them!

I’ve seen a few TTT posts that featured these books today. It’s definitely comforting to know we are not alone!

We have so many of the same picks – great minds think alike!
I loved Snow Like Ashes but thought the series got progressively more cliched, so you’re not missing much there.

I haven’t read any of these. But yes, I wanted to read ACOTAR series and Carve the Mark at some point. I am not sure though when that time will come 😛 I have physical copies for both of these so I think I should rather pick them up?

The only book on your list that I’ve read is The Catcher in the Rye and it was in high school. I need a re-read soon. It was one of my favourites back the though.
Many on your list have been on and off my list too. I lose interest sometimes or new shinier books are more appealing. Sometjmes its the subject that gets overdone a dive read enough that in over it.
Great list!

I once wanted to read The Love That Split the World, but I heard some negative things about the representation, so I decided to skip it.

I looooved Uglies 🙂 Hated Catcher in the Rye though–it’s just an teenage hypocrite whining about his life okay I don’t need to be reminded of myself xD And I will definitely not be reading any more Dashner.

I’m torn about a lot of these as well, such as Rose-Blood, The Love That Split The World and Carve The Mark.

Uglies is one of my favourite series ever, but I’m definitely with you on ACOTAR and The Catcher in the Rye. Nothing about either of them seems to really grab me.

Carve The Mark made my list this week too. I’m just not interested in it…

I wasn’t sure about We Are the Ants before I read it, the premise seemed a bit weird and I wasn’t sure where it was going to go, but it ended up being amazing, emotional and tear inducing, but amazing 🙂

I actually haven’t read any of these either, except A Court of Thorns and Roses. It wasn’t the best installment, but a Court of Mist and Fury is my absolute favorite… and I sort of hated the third one so I getcha. lol

I’m seeing ACOTAR on quite a few lists today (along with the sequel). I thought I was the only one who didn’t LOVE the first one in that series.

I’ve never read it but I’ve heard a lot about it that made me question whether I actually want to.

I dropped off all my ACOMAF books at YALC last year on the Hot Key Books swap stand. They were all signed but I just have no intention of reading them knowing some of the consent politics in it.

Absolutely. Some of what I heard about them just really turned me against reading them. Plus there are so many brilliant UKYA fantasy books I’d rather invest my time in 🙂

But… but… but… The Catcher in the Rye!! It’s one of my favourite books. I think maybe you need to be in the right mood to enjoy it.

Maybe. I do have a copy so although it’s no longer on my ‘tbr’ it is on my shelf. So you never know 🙂

The Scorch Trials are so not worth the read anyway. Wish I had known that before reading them, haha. I think I also removed Roseblood from my tbr. My friend is a fan of hers and that is why I added it in the first place but it isn’t really my cup of tea.

I wasn’t a huge fan of The Maze Runner so I’m not sure I ever would have returned to the series. I think I got to it too late in my reading life for me to enjoy it properly!

Interesting list. Perhaps you’re not in a YA dystopia mood? I enjoyed Uglies but never finsihed Specials. I also have Snow Like Ashes on my TBR and would like to read it before Spring hits. x

I don’t think it’s that so much, more that some of these were added to my TBR years and years ago and I just don’t really fancy them any more. There are so many excellent fantasy novels coming out nowadays that I get sucked into those instead!

James Dashner is off my TBR too – for obvious reasons!
I did enjoy the Sarah J Maas series though, and I remember liking Snow Like Ashes (Although I can’t for the life of me remember what it was about!)

I ended up donating my copies of Nemesis and Roseblood to a charity shop. I just wasn’t motivated to read them anymore.
