Top Ten Hyped Books I've Never Read

So so many books that could be added to this list.  Some I want to read and I just haven't gotten to, and others will remain unread.  Here are my 10.

Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

I've heard so many good things about this book, and it's been sitting on my shelf and on my Kindle forever, I just don't know when or if I'll ever get to it.
 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I can't believe I haven't read this book yet.  It seems like the kind of read I would love, I just never got around to it.

Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth

I am actually half way through this book, I just completely lost interest.  I pretty much know what happens, so I don't feel like I'm missing too much, it's just kind of a thorn in my side that I never finished it.

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare

I read the first few book in the Mortal Instruments series, and then I lost interest in reading the rest of them.  I know people love this series, I just don't know that I'll ever get to it.  Sadly I own this both in print and as an ebook.

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

I have a confession, I've only ever read two John Green books. This and Paper Towns could be interchangeable in that I haven't read either one.  I do plan on reading both at some point.

Going Bovine by Libba Bray

Another book that I can't believe I haven't read yet.  I have really enjoyed the other Libba Bray books, so I'm not sure why I never read this one.  Maybe one day.
 

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) by Pittacus Lore

Never going to happen.  I doubt I will ever read this book despite owning it.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor

 Another series where I've heard amazing things.  I really have no excuse for not reading this series, particularly because it is so loved. Maybe one day.

Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu

 See above.  No excuses except for lack of time.

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

At some point I will read this book only to get it off my list of books I haven't read.  It seems like every time this book ends up on it.  People LOVE it, and I did read the first few chapters, I just got distracted by something else before I got beyond that point.  One day.

Top Ten Books I'm Not Sure I Want To Read

There are some books that people love, and I should read them, I'm just not sure that I would love them as well.  Feel free to make a case of any of them in the comments below.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor

 There is a common thread among many of these books.  I have heard amazing things about this series, I just don't see myself reading it.

 Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

 People seem to LOVE this book, and I often feel like the only person who hasn't read it.  However, it just doesn't seem like the type of book I would like.

Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu

 Another book that people seemed to love, I just couldn't get interested in reading it.

Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1) by Veronica Rossi

I feel like I missed something big when I skipped reading this series.  Maybe one day I'll get to it, heck, I've even met the author, and have a signed copy of this.

 

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas

 Another book that just doesn't seem that interesting to me, even though I've heard really good things about it.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns #1) by Rae Carson

The positive is that I've heard the first book is the best one in the series and it goes downhill.  It makes me kind of happy that I probably won't be reading it.

The House of the Scorpion (Matteo Alacran #1) by Nancy Farmer

This book has won a ton of awards, it just doesn't make me want to read it.

I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies #1) by Pittacus Lore

I think I've avoided this one on principle.  Maybe it's good.  I have no desire to see the movie either.

The Iron King (The Iron Fey #1) by Julie Kagawa

I don't like Faeries.  People seem to LOVE this series, but my distaste for faeries has kept me away.

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

It's the aliens.  It just seems like it would be too out there for me, even though it's an incredibly popular book.
