Full disclosure y’all, I skipped last week because my mind was a hot mess and I couldn’t focus, had a stomach ache all week and was basically feeling some kind of way. Also I had no clue how to answer the prompt. But! I’m super excited for this week’s topic.
How it works

Honestly, I’m avoiding this book because I have no idea about the content inside and I just think she’s perfect and I don’t want to lose that.
It’s the cover. I promise you, if this cover was not so dark and scary, I would probably be more inclined to read this. Also Peter Pan (the story) has like a special place in my heart that I don’t want to mess with. Sometimes you’ve got those few things left from someone and they need to be protected.
Everyone seems to be reading this but like I don’t really like enemies to lovers? Maybe it’s because I hold insane grudges and once I don’t like you, that’s that. Or maybe it’s because sometimes you don’t like someone and that doesn’t mean you’re in love. IDK man.
I own this book. It’s mine, I went to a store and got it and I carried it around for a week and still have not read it. Why? I thought it was about something else and it is not and I have zero context for what it is really about so I got nervous. Thanks for asking.
I’m avoiding this because I have no recollection of adding it to my Goodreads list and I’m not pulled in by the blurb but I can’t let it go.
Hello. I begged for this series. I begged my aunt to find it, it was all I wanted for christmas (and PJs but I lost the shirt to those so like….) Anyway, I wanted it so bad because I thought I was going to NYC that year to finally, finally fulfill my lifelong dream of seeing Wicked on Broadway. Once I realized that wasn’t happening, an overdramatic me ignored the perfect books I had begged for other than to glance away from them in shame.
I’m avoiding this because I saw the movie first. I basically know what happens I guess? So like why read it? No seriously, I know why but my brain keeps saying “We know that story. Let’s read another!”
This book has been on my Goodreads list the longest. It’s been there since before I graduated high school!!! I graduated 4 years ago!!!! Why can’t I either let it go or just read it already? I see the series at the book store and always whisper,one day as I walk right by them.
Hi again. I love Jodi Picoult, I love her writing. I think I’ve read most if not all of her books. But I don’t think I’ve read this one. Why? I feel like it’s too late. This book came out 18 years ago!!!!!!! I was four!!!!! I know that’s not how books work but I’m so anxious about keeping up with what’s in that I can’t convince myself to pick up this book.
As the cover snob I am, I will say a big part of this is because the first cover I saw (not this one), looked so boring that I just couldn’t get into it. Also, this book sounds so heavy and I just really need some light books right now.
That’s ten! It was interesting to go through my Goodreads to find these. I focused ones added longest ago because most of Goodreads is stuff added from June of this year on so I haven’t really had a chance to read them.

Yay for doing this prompt this week! So… the consensus seems to be that Tell Me How You Really Feel was not good 😦 At least from what I heard, so that’s why I’m holding off on it too. But it’s on my desk so I’ll get to it eventually?

I’m slowly reading Becoming now. It’s a wonderful book. Mrs. Obama definitely isn’t perfect, but she is someone I’ve come to admire the deeper I get into her memoir.

I love your thoughts on enemies to lovers — I feel the same way, and sometimes it seems like nobody else does! I keep looking at the book you’ve referenced and thinking it has a lot of appealing elements, but have mostly decided against reading it because I feel like the risk of the trope bugging me is too high. I recently found a really good quote in “The Road to Enchantment” that encapsulates this feeling: “This book would have you believe that at first you hate him and then your smoldering hatred becomes passionate love. If you hate somebody, chances are there is a good reason.”

Thank you for your thoughts!! Especially those about the hate to lovers. I definitely am taking this book off my tbr after thinking about it more.

The exact same thing happened to me with Simon. That’s why I don’t like watching the movie/show before reading the book since most time I’ll end up giving up on the book entirely.
