July 31st: What are some popular series you haven't tried or have and stopped because they just don't appeal to you?
Hmmm, what have I not tried...well that Kevin Hearne series about Atticus? I tried listening to it ages ago, but that was before I knew about things like speed and such. I would actually love to go back to it and read it in print.
Well I never did read 50 shades, and I never will.
I gave up on that Sarah Maas series cos it was sooooo cheesy.
Oh I do not know. I will kick myself later when I read answers.

Oh, there are so many series that I have stopped reading because I got pissed off or lost momentum. Like the JD Robb series and Stephanie Plum and the Kim Harrison series and Anita Blake and...
ReplyDeleteArhghhh PLUM! But to be fear I gave up at 23
DeleteAH I tried Twilight but really didn't like that but that the one I remember well. I only tried the first 50 shades not the others
ReplyDeleteI read the trilogy, no more, that was just milking it
DeleteThanks for sharing I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many series I want to try. I need to be cloned like 4 times LOL ;-)
ReplyDeleteOr live forever
DeleteI never read 50 Shades either.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteThe Kevin Hearne series has been really good so far but I am only two books in. I read the first 2 50 Shades books because everyone was telling me how good it was. I didn't care for the first but still read the second to try to figure out what everyone else was getting excited about. That was not a good move on my part.
ReplyDeleteI was contemplating print or audio, but then print is cheaper so might do that
DeleteI haven't read 50 Shades series either, don't plan on it lol
ReplyDeletehehe
DeleteI know there are popular series I probably won't touch and there are others I've set aside. Karen Marie Moning's extended Fever series is the one that comes to mind. I read through book eight and gave up. Oh, and Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments and spin-offs. I read through book four and lost interest.
ReplyDeleteI tried 3 Moning and gave up. I never even read Clare
DeleteI'm in too deep with that Sarah J. Maas series to quit now, even though I've lost all excitement for it. Sigh...

eeek
DeleteI'm with you on 50 Shades. I used to read a lot of BDSM back in the day and many were really good, so I was surprised that none of those were as popular as 50 shades. I didn't read the book or watch any of the movies either. These days, I don't read as many series because of time. Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteI am just gonna give it all a miss
DeleteI haven't read 50SoG (& won't) or the Maas.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Never 5o for me
DeleteAnother vote for 50 shades will never happen! I had to stop the Fever series when she went basically underage in the romance. The Plum series is getting sillier and sillier yet I just can't give it up.
ReplyDeleteOH yes that just went all euwwwww, no thanks to Iced or whatever it was called
DeleteI'm with you about 50. I may give in and read the first book....but....I don't see that happening in the next 10 years.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I am without books, but that one is near and I am desperate
DeleteI hope you give Atticus a try!
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading Ward's BDB (as did a lot of people), as well as Keynon's Dark Hunters and Showalter's Lords of the Underworld. But those probably don't count, as I was several books in.
One series I gave up on after three books (and I really wanted to after two) is Jane Yellowrock. She bugs me and I couldn't get into it. Never did FSOG either.
I really must! I honestly do not know why I haven't!
DeleteI do wonder where it counts, cos I have ended a lot lol
