TTT: That Will Make Me Instantly NOT Want To Read A Book


Top Ten Things That Will Make Me Instantly NOT Want To Read A Book

I'm basing this almost exclusively on covers...because I will not find out what is inside.
1. If the cover looks like this...I will not read it.

2. If the covers looks like this....I will not read it.

3. If the book is written by or is about this man, I will not read it.

4. If the book is anti-science...I will not read it.

5. Books that are clearly (and not clearly) racist...I will not read

6.  If the book is anti-feminist, I will not read it

7.  Books that are designed to make people think that God doesn't love ALL people will not be books I ever read. (This book teaches kids to pray the gay away.)

8. I will never read anything which involves killing animals on purpose


9. Preachy books really bug me, so I avoid them and didn't read them to my children when they were little.

10.  Any book by or about this guy...I will not read. I don't respect him at all.

    Love this, and whole heartedly agree. I always forget I have the "Make American Kittens Again" add-on on Chrome until I find myself looking at an adorable picture of a kitten taking a nap and wondering why you won't read any books by or about the kitten.

    Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland, Anne.

    Yes, agree, agree, agree.

    I really don't think you will be in such complete solidarity with me, however. https://readerbuzz.blogspot.com

    Great list-I won't read them either, although I do read some Regency romances by selected authors. (who can write well)
