Top ten word/ topics that make me not pick up a book
- Autobiography: Uhm. Yeah..I'll pass
- Motherhood: Not something I'm drawn to. I like the more developing love....
- Non-ficton: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nope.
- Self- Help: I am not my mother. I like going into another world other than my own, not learning about all the different types of wheat or green smoothies.
- If you love (......) you'll love this!: This almost immediately turns me off of the book, especially if the dot dot dots are Twilight.
- Badly behaving authors: This pretty much speaks for itself
- Audiobooks: I don't have the attention span for this
- Ouija Boards: I can't say why, but they scare the crap out of me.
- Erotica: I never have, nor will I ever, read this *cough* 50 Shads of Grey
- Animal Abuse: I. Just. Can't. This will make me sob.

Great list. I know exactly what you mean by the Twilight references... It drives me CRAZY how often other books try and drop the name so readers will pick it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
They. Are. Everywhere. I swear I will be dreaming of them any day now....
DeleteHappy reading!

wow I agree with every single item in this list! My mom's obsessed with self help books as well and I honestly don't get it. Or non-fiction and autobiographies for that matter...
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Yay! God...my best friends mom reads nothing but romance and my mother reads all this self help and yoga books. I love her..but her reading choices..not so much xD
DeleteHappy reading

High five to the badly behaving authors bit! Like really, no thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, I should have added animal abuse to my list. :P
Great list Jackie & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
*high five* I cannot read animal abuse. I love my pets too much. I saw this discovery penguin movie when I was 7 and I ran out of the theater crying. It was so traumatizing....

OOh nice ones! I can agree with most of them! I didn't think to pick genres or subgenres really. Don't know what I was thinking to be honest. I could've gone with a lot more than I did. As it is I only picked 5!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree with that last one! One of my reads from like last month had something along these lines and I was in tears!
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Thanks! & Lol. I cannot read animal abuse...or animals dying. No I haven't read Marley and Me or Old Yeller. I don't plan to either.
DeleteHappy reading!

Great list! I also had autobiography on my list. I just am unable to finish those. I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Motherhood and Self-Help for the same reasons :D

Great list Jackie! Yeah, not a fan of motherhood type stuff either. I don't have kids and am not sure if I ever will, so blah to that. Self-help books? BORING. I actually don't mind the If you love this... line. I've actually found some really great books that way. But I can understand your hesitation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier!

OMG yes ouija boards freak me out too! I won't watch shows or read books with them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, YES to the badly behaving authors. It just puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Here's my TTT!

Good list, I also dislike books about motherhood, audio books and erotica as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

Ouija boards scare me as well and I do not like reading about animal abuse either.
ReplyDelete*shudders* They are creepy. And animal abuse *sobs into pillow*
