Books I'm Hesitant to Read



There are many reasons different reasons to be hesitant to read a book. The hype may be too much, the sequel may not hold up to the first, or maybe the end to a cherished series seems to just be too final. 

Caraval
Two reasons keep me from reading this book. The first one is the hype. The hype is real for this book. I don't want the hype to get to me because I am known for working up high expectations for a hyped book.
The second reason is this has the potential to a very heartbreaking ending, and I just don't know if I am prepared for that roller coaster.

The Star Touched Queen
This book is so beloved in our community, and being perfectly honest that scares me. I don't want to be the one who doesn't like it. Let's be honest, no one wants to be that one reviewer who doesn't like a beloved book. Even though we all understand that in this community we all have different opinions, and I am proud that I am always honest with my opinions. Still I still don't like being the odd man out.

The Chemist It is no secret I LOVED Twilight. Like many others, Twilight got me back into reading as a teen. So When Meyer came out with The Chemist I was excited and scared. I haven't heard too many people talk about this book so I wonder if everyone is in the same boat. Meyer had such an impact on me when I was younger, I would be heart broken if The Chemist didn't hold up to my expectations. 
Lady Renegades I LOVED Rebel Belle! It was everything I could ask for in a fun read. This book had action, comedy, lovable characters, and a good plot. The second book in the story while still entertaining fell a little flat for me. When this book came out, I saw reviewers I trust not happy with this book at all. While I do always give a book a fighting chance, the reviews were not good. I am just simply afraid to have this series end on a sour let down note. 

Tower of Dawn Lastly I end with a book that I think most people are afraid to read. Don't get me wrong, I will be running to the stores the day this book is released, but I may stare at it for awhile before actually cracking it open. 
The twist that happened in the last TOG book has me on such edge that I don't want to read anything in this world till I know certain people are okay.
I am a choal fan I always have been, but I don't know how I feel about him have an entire book to himself. I am curious and hesitant to see how Tower of Dawn will hold up on it's own without our other beloved characters. I feel like it's a tad cruel to have us all read this book, and leave us on the cliff we were left holding on to from Empire of Storms.  I am holding on the the fact the Maas has never let me down so far, so hopefully she doesn't start now!
    
                       

Those are a few of the books I am hesitant to read. I would love to hear from you guys, and see if we have any of the same books on our list, or some of the same reasons. Leave me your thoughts in the comments.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before  Series: To All The Boys I've Loved Before #1  Author: Jenny Han Published: April 15th, 2014 by Simon & Schuster  Pages: 355 My Rating:  ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But now that I think about it, that seems to be all I’ve ever wanted.

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that could easil

Of Poseidon

  "Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen-literally, ouch!-both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance." I really enjoyed Of Poseidon  so much in fact that I have read it twice. Of Poseidon is the first book in the Syrena series, and this book is full of humor I was laughing from the very first page. The best part of this book was how much I laughed like a crazy person. Emma and Galen keep having strange encounters, and while Galen has an explanation for them, Emma just thinks he's a creepy stalker who wants to sue her for run
