All I Did This Week Was Cheat but It's Still On Topic...
Hello friends! Once again, I have waited to the last minute to write this post, and rather than provide nothing, I have decided to mangle this post into something I could handle while sleep deprived and dealing with itchy eyes (thanks, hayfever).
As I was thinking about this topic, I thought of three things that make a book intimidating to me, and have added a few examples of each.
Size! I like big books, but they definitely intimidate me!
Classics! The writing style of older works throws me off.
Emotions! Sometimes the content itself scares me. This doesn't mean I won't read it, but it's intimidating.
Much love, Samantha
GAME OF THRONES is definitely on my list of daunting books/series because of its sheer size. Talk about a huge commitment! I would love to read them, though. And I agree with you about books being intimidating because of the emotion factor. It took me forever to get around to reading THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, but I am so glad that I finally did. Yes, I cried, but it was such a good book.
ReplyDeleteThis was a cool Top 10 Tuesday topic!
hehehe EMOTIONS. I agree, I tried to read to Melina Marchetta books in a row the other week and was like UGH my feelings are too tired after the first one to make it through - i need a break!
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones and Lord of the Rings are on my list too because they are just so big! I agree on emotions too. I'm not prepared to feel all the things all the time.
