Let’s Talk: What will make me not pick up a book

First off HEY! Long time no chat. I’ve taken a break obviously and quite a lot has changed since then. I feel like there should be an update post to what I’ve been up to, but I kind of got on here after watching a Youtube video and felt inspired to write about things I don’t condone when reading books or why I wouldn’t read certain books. As I got older my reading tastes have changed, things I used to love about books just doesn’t appeal to me anymore. I kind of touched on that when I talked about love triangles and it’s what made me want to write this post again in the first place. So I’ll stop jabbering on now and we’ll just get right into it.

1. First thing’s first, as I stated before love triangles but it’s even more than what I talked about in my previous post. Reagan from PuruseProject was talking about how she doesn’t like Anna and The French Kiss anymore because it condones cheating. And that’s what kind of set me off. I didn’t really like that book anyway (even though my goodreads rating will beg to differ), but I’m like “I know exactly what you’re going to say that you realize was problematic about that book” and I was right, she didn’t like that it condoned cheating and quite frankly neither did I. I don’t condone cheating at all and in a way that’s why I’ve grown out of love triangles because you’re not sticking to one person, you’re playing with two people hearts and I feel like it’s basically cheating.
2. Abusive relationships. nope. nope. nope.
3. I read a lot of romance so this comes up a lot as recommendations, arranged marriage, contract marriage, forced marriage. That kind of thing, I know you guys fall in love in the end but why do you have to be in a situation where you’re kind of forced to do it.
4. And then there are just stupid things like books dated before 2000s or way in the past because I feel like back then there were more rules and way women had to act and I’m just not down.

Well that’s all I can remember now, the big thing was the cheating and love triangles, but should I really have another post solely dedicated to that?

Thanks for reading my rant, bye!

Book Series I’m Not Going to Finish!

The bravest people are the ones who don’t mind looking like cowards -T.H. White 

It’s such a sad time when a person decides not to finish a series or even a book, but it happens. It happens to even the best of us (not that i’m the best or anything). Here are the series I’ve giving up hope that i’ll ever finish.

1. Blood Coven Vampire Series by Mari Mancusi (I read the first 6 apparently, but there’s eight and I just, I just don’t know. She just kept coming out with more books and I honestly just forgot about it.)
2. Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (I really don’t want to say I’m not going to finish this, but it’s been years and the possibility is very likely. The thing is I only have the last book to read and I picked it up and started it but I couldn’t do it. The drama!! I couldn’t handle the drama!!)
3. Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly (I loved the first book and couldn’t deal with the love triangle of the second book, that is all.)
4. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (Man I loved this book but shit went down that I couldn’t handle and do you notice a pattern here apparently I’m a wuss. When the going gets tough, I get going.)
5. Unearthy by Cynthia Hand (Good book, love triangle.)
6. Vampire Princess of St. Paul Series by Tate Hallaway (Apparently I gave this book five stars but I don’t even know what this is about)
7. The Dark Divine by Bree Despain (I just pretended this was a stand alone.)
8. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (Also pretended this was a stand alone.)
9. Need by Carrie Jones (Read 2 out of 4 and, I just remember feeling uncomfortable reading this.)
10. The Mortal Instrument Series (I read this as a trilogy and a trilogy it would stay. I actually tried to read the fourth book but just couldn’t get through it.)

This list could literally go on forever, I’m going to stop here cause it just sad seeing books I’m not going to finish.

What are some of the book series you guys aren’t going to finish?
