TTT: Top Ten Books I’ll Never Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme, created by The Broke and Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt has been submitted by Beauty & Her Books and is Books I’d Gladly Throw Into the Ocean. I don’t think I’ve read a book that I’d gladly yeet into the ocean or anywhere else. If I don’t like a book I’ll DNF it, but I am sure someone will get some joy out of it. Sometimes I might need to rant about it – after I’ve gotten that sour taste out of my mouth I’ll happily forget about the book. Instead of making a top ten about books I’ll yeet, I’ll make a top ten about books I’ll never read. However, I do retain the right to yeet a book if I find it necessary to do so.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I’m not the target audience for this, and I am completely fine with that.

Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James
What can I say? It’s fan fiction for Twilight where the names have been changed.

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson
As a sceptic I’m not the biggest fan of especially the claims of the Lutz family. The books is based on the Lutz’s experiences – on top of that, the author, Jay Anson, added and adapted some of the family’s original claims. I feel like I know enough about this story, so I would not be able to enjoy this book.

Battlefield Earth: A Sage of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard
I like sci-fi, but I won’t be able to enjoy them if they’re written by leaders of cults.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Arlene Eisenberg et.al.
I will never be expecting, so I don’t have a use for this book.

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard
I don’t trust a cult to tell me how to manage my mental health. YEET!

The boy in the striped pyjamas by John Boyne
I saw the movie. It broke me and I cannot go through that again.

Trump: How to get rich by Donald J. Trump
You might have noticed that I am not a big fan of cults? Yeah, I’ll stay away from any book written by Trump. YEET!

Cujo by Stephen King
I enjoy King’s work and I tried to get into this book…I could not handle the beginning. It broke my heart, knowing where the story was heading. I wasn’t strong enough.

Coming out straight: Understanding same-sex attraction by Richard Cohen, M.A.
Just adding this to my list makes my stomach churn. I came across this book a few weeks ago when I was looking up funny titles, and this showed up. It makes me so uncomfortable and it saddens me that there are people who believe they need this. YEET!
