Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that originated on The Broke and The Bookish. As of January 2018, it moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Unpopular Bookish Opinions.
E-books
I prefer e-books to paper. I love that my Kindle always has hundreds of books on it.
No Fantasy for Me
I have no interest in the fantasy genre. I used to love it, but I’ve completely lost interest in it.
I’m a muggle who hasn’t (or will) read Harry Potter
I will not, nor have I ever, read the Harry Potter series. I also haven’t seen the movies.
Books are always better than the movies that come later
There are a few exceptions (Jurassic Park and Hunger Games).
First person, please
I don’t prefer books written in the third person. I find it much easier to connect with a character when the book is told from their point of view.
The shorter, the better
I don’t care for books longer than 400 pages. As a romance reader, it just doesn’t need to be that long to be a good story.
My son is YA age, so that genre is out
I have a hard time reading YA and college age stories now that my son is that age. I used to really love them.
No virgins
If I see the word virgin either in the summary or a review on goodreads, I’m out. Not a trope I’m interested in reading.
No shirt, I’m interested!
Much to my children’s dismay, I am attracted to covers with shirtless men.
TV Addicted Bookworm 
I’ve mostly lost interest in Fantasy and YA too. Other stories just feel more real to me now.
I’m definitely losing interest in YA. I hope I never lose my love for fantasy though!
I think I’m slowly losing interest in YA contemporaries though I don’t have kids yet… but YA fantasy is still my favorite genre and I hope I continue loving them…
But the best part of your post which I loved is that I prefer ebooks too… Don’t know what I’ll do without my Kindle 😊😊
Thanks:)
I’ve tried and tried with fantasy but I just can’t. There have been a couple of rare exceptions but I finally had to quit forcing and realize the genre wasn’t for me. Contemporary is my genre and that’s that. Totally agree with first person POV. I definitely prefer that over 3rd.
Fantasy used to be my go to and I lost interest. I have tried again to no avail
I like ‘Harry Potter’ (books and movies) but I never got past the fourth book. I guess I just got distracted for a while and there’s so many other books to read out there. I’m not all that into the fantasy genre either (I enjoy them occasionally, but I usually prefer novels with realistic storylines) and I have to be REALLY into a book that’s more than 350 pages long. Great list! 🙂
Thanks
