Top Ten Words/Topics That Will Make Me NOT pick up a book...

Hm let me see...

Stupid

There is Probably something in the boo that is dumb so I won’t waste my time on it.

Satan

Every one is entitled to believe in what ever they want...As a Christian I wouldn’t want to read a book that has that in the title. I’ve read plenty of books were evil is conquered and I LOVE those!

Decay

Gross!! If you want to read about things rotting more power to you...I just wouldn’t even want to pick up a book if it was titled with this word.

Alien Babys

I’ve read about Aliens (Lux series) and about baby’s (too many to mention) but maybe its the combo of the two on the cover that would deter me.

Vomit

Eww!! I love Tosh.O as much as the next guy but I wouldn’t want to read a book that has that in the title!! Yucky

Truth

I ONLY read fiction so if a book had that as the title I’d be like huh? Well that makes no sense! So I’d ignore it.

Boogers

Really? I hope this doesn’t exist...Otherwise there are beta readers and editors out there letting a lot of people down.

Poop

GASP!! EWWWWWW enough said, I think this one is self explanatory!

Leprosy

It would probably be mean and outdated so I wouldn’t pick it up.

Hemorrhoids

LOL!! GROSS!! No way no HOW!! Yucky Yucky Yucky!!!

Now I’m going to do a search to see if there are any books titled with these weird words...

LOL guess there were now what are some Words/Topics That Will Make YOU NOT pick up a book?..

Laters Baby,

Ria ;)

Top Ten Books I Thought I'd Like MORE/LESS Than I Did

1. Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay- This book floored me and will stay with me forever. 
2. Easy by Tammara Webber- I thought it was going to be kinda lame but I was more than blown away!
3. Poison Princess by Kresley Cole- Lindy had to do some serious convincing to get me to read this guy, but I LOVED it and cant wait for the series to continue.
4. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James- Everyone was like, red room, pain, porn, blah, blah, but it turned out to be so much more! I loved it! I love Christian!! 
5. Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout- So, aliens? Not really my thing. But what can I say Daemon has a way of swaying the vote.
6. Halo by Alexandra Adornetto- I was like this is gonna be the best book ever I was still on my Fallen Series by Lauren Kate High, and Halo had all the bells and whistles. It ended up being kind of Meh for me. 
7. Messenger by Lois Lowry- this is the 3rd in the Giver Quartet and I was pretty disappointed, Son the final book is still on my TBR because I’m hesitant.
8. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown- Wasn’t terrible but I was expecting more.
9. Passage by Connie Willis- Talk about awful!! Jesus its bad when a main character dies and you don’t feel a thing, I finished it hoping to get closure but to avail. 
10. MotherFlipping Mockingjay (HungerGames #3)!! by Suzanne Collins- ARGH!!!!?!???!!!!!??!!! Bad word, Bad word, Expletive, Expletive, REALLY BAD WORD!!! SHOCKING EXPLETIVE!! Ugh My head hurts thinking about it! Hated the end, war, blah, blah, blah, I get it, but come on people FICTION!! HELLO?! HEA? WTF? Prim? What was the point? Mom gone? WTF? HayMitch? Yea there was like ZERO resolution!! Sure the world got better but Kat was miserable, and Ms. Collins squeezed 25 years in a page and a half?!! ARE YOU FLIPPING KIDDING RIGHT NOW!! On a positive note I’m still a huge fan of HG! Lol :) I still recommend it to people:) My world is full of puppies and kittens and I understand it isn’t the same for everyone else.

What are some books that left your mouth agape?.. For either positive or negative reasons.

Top Ten Books I HAD To Buy...But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread

(When I first read this one I was like no way I NEVER buy a book and not read it...Well, as you can see, that, is in fact, NOT THE CASE. I’m shocked! at myself) 

Naughty Naughty :/

1. The Host by Stephenie Meyer The movie is about to come out so I really should jump on this!
2. Noah (5th Street, #1) by Elizabeth Reyes I feel like I’m the last person on the planet...Lin! I promise I’ll read this soon...
3. The Siren by Tiffany Reisz Honestly I hear this book is very intense, I’m a little scared of it ;)
4. Archangel’s Storm by Nalini Singh I love this series but life always seems to get in the way whenever I pick this book up. :(
5. City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare I cannot wait for the movie I told myself I was going to read all of the installments ASAP... Still working on it.
6. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare I’ve read 1-3 and I’m Itching to continue this series...Jace is HAWT! 
7. Devoured by Emily Snow Most people don’t like the same Models on different book covers...Well...NOT.THIS<-GIRL! I can’t wait for the opportunity to read this guy.
8. Shadows in the Silence by Courtney Allison Moulton Every time I look at my library it hurts that I haven’t read this... I was like counting down the days for it to come out... :(
9. Requiem by Lauren Oliver This is the final book in the Delirium series...Part of me is so afraid to say goodbye forever so I’m going to hold out as long as possible.
10. Boundless by Cynthia Hand Okay I’m TERRIFIED.By.This.Book. This is the Final Unearthly book. If you’ve read the first two, you know there is a love triangle! Well, I really want her to pick Christian and I feel like everyone else on the planet wants Clara with Tucker. I’m not certain but there is a very good possibility that...I.WILL.DIE. If Clara doesn’t end up with Christian. :/

Ria ;)
