Top Ten
Tuesday: Top Ten Topics that Make Us Not Pick up a Book: Topic over at The Broke and Bookish Top Ten Tuesday Meme.
Sean:
1. Carnegie:
I am not in history anymore it is not required for me to read about a man who
owned one of the biggest monopolies in the US. If you are going to write about
him please add some twist to it.
2. Oil:
Ashley read this book that referenced the huge BP Oil spill and I guess it was
okay hearing her thoughts on it but, I don’t think I would have picked it up.
3. Slang:
I can handle a little bit of street slang but when the writing is in texting
style and I have to use the internet to figure some of the words out.
4. Math:
Now I know my math pretty well but unless the book is for school then I will not
pick it up. If it involves a math geek who may be a female then it might go on
my TBR pile.
5. Dominoes:
Who would write a book about this game or use it as a main plot? I am not sure
but I know that I wouldn’t read it.
Ashley:
1)
Religion: Now I am not saying I
will put a book down if it starts discussing religious topics but, if the whole
plot is based around God or some other higher being I don’t see myself picking
it up to read.
2)
Horror: I am a huge horror fan when
it comes to movies but I couldn’t read Stephan King in the dark and if I did,
move over parents I will be in the bed for two nights. When I was younger I
could do it but, now strictly horror is not my thing anymore.
3)
“Those that Loved Twilight”: If
that is written on the front cover I typically do not pick it up. This is not
because I do not like twilight but I feel when this sort of recommendation is
done it is because it involves a super similar plot.
4)
Drugs: I read the Perfect Chemistry
books pre-blog. I picked it up for my younger cousin to read as a gift. I read
it first though and when I finished it I was upset that this book was in the
younger section at my local B&N. I returned the book immediately and told
them it was shelved in the wrong section. I have since read the rest of the
Perfect Chemistry books and I do like them because I am older now but I am
thankful my 12 year old cousin did not get a chance to read it back then.
5)
Death: Yes I will read a book that
has someone that dies in it but if the book is strictly about the death I
cannot do it. I do cry when reading but something about bawling over a book
character`s death the whole novel.
Read Long and Prosper,
Ashley & Sean
