Hey, everyone, it's Maddie and Bee and today
we're going to do the Books I'll
(Probably) Never Read Tag. We saw this
video originally over on Ariel Bissett's
channel, so we'll leave a link to her
video in the description. Number one: a
really hyped book you'll never read. Maddie: A lot
of my answers for this fall into the
sequels of series, because I'm really bad
and if I say I'm not going to read a
series, I probably will end up reading it
anyway, so I'm going to go with all of
the sequels to Red Queen by Victoria
Aveyard because I read it and I really
wasn't impressed. I guess I should
have expected that because everyone said
it was just a mash-up of all the tropes
of other popular dystopian series, and I
read it and felt exactly the same way.
Bee: I've chosen Truthwitch by Susan
Dennard, and although this sounds like
something I would really enjoy because I
adore witches, I've read the first 70
pages of this in a sampler, and the
writing completely turned me off. It felt
like the world building was being
chucked at you, and there were so many
names of things to learn, not only of the
characters but of the different types of
magic, and it just seemed like a lot of
roles that I had to swallow before I
could get on with the story. So, although
I was originally really pumped to read
it, I think that as officially died.
Number two is a series that you won't
start or have started and won't finish.
Bee: For this I've chosen the sequels to
Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins. This was a
pretty recent decision for me. I went
through my series tracker to see all of
the old series that I've had on the go
for ages and Rebel Belle was on the top
of my list and I just thought I have no
intention of reading the second or third
book. I would have, like, two years ago
because I used to just read series even
if I didn't enjoy them to have them
completed, but Maddie didn't enjoy any of
the sequels and said it was a letdown
from Rebel Belle and I was a little bit
confused by Rebel Belle anyway, so I'm
going to let this one go. Maddie: and I've gone
with the sequels of Dorothy Must Die by
Danielle Paige. I read the second book to
this one, as well, The Wicked Will Rise, but
I really didn't like this retelling
style, and after I wasn't impressed by
her retelling of The Snow Queen, I think
Danielle Paige is just an author I won't
be reaching for. The characterization of
Amy Gumm was off for me and the way the
quests were built was unsatisfying
because I thought that they would move
through like a Percy Jackson novel and
instead it was all displaced throughout
the series, so I was never getting what I
thought I was based on the blurbs. Next
is a classic that you're not interested
in reading. Maddie:I'm just going to pick any
classics that I'm not already familiar
with. I find it so much easier to read
classics if I'm familiar with the story
the from a literary webseries or a TV adaptation,
or even just a summary. I feel like I
have to go into classics knowing
something, otherwise I won't get into it.
Bee: I've chosen any Victorian classics
written by men. I just don't care about
Thomas Hardy or Charles Dickens and I've
read a book from each of them, but I
found I don't really care about what was
happening to the men at this time,
because the women, in my mind, were much
more interesting. So, I'll continue to
read the female narratives from this
period but I think that's it. Number four
are what genres do you not reach for? Bee:I've chosen
sci-fi and although there are exceptions
like the works of Lauren James, which is
not really interested in it. I recently
went through my Goodreads TBR, and culled
the majority of the sci-fi books I added,
because I realized I just didn't care.
This decision was firmed up when we read
Illuminae and really didn't like it and
sci-fi as a genre, in the media generally,
like, for movies as well I'm not too
interested in. I think it has to be done
really well and have everything so that
I can suspend my disbelief for this,
otherwise I'm out. The next is an owned
book you'll never read. Maddie: I've gone with If I
Stay by Gayle Forman because this is a
book that came out in 2009 and had a lot
of hype around it when the movie came
out and I have seen the movie, so I've
already digested the story in some way,
but I have no interest in this story or
the next ones. Also, I'm not a super fan
of Gayle Forman's writing style as I
recently read the sequel to Just One Day
and didn't feel that impressed by it ,so
I don't want that feeling to be re-incapsulated
with this story. Bee: My pick is
Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple.
I picked this up because the main
character's name is Bee spelt in my way
with two 'e's. I also got it from a
charity shop for 49p, so I couldn't
really say no, and it was a green book
and we were missing that color on
our shelves...I have not heard anyone talk
about this in a really long time. It's
about a mother's disappearance and then
the daughter tries to find her and I'm
pretty sure it's got some, like,
interesting forms like lists and
interviewers so that's normally something
I'm really into. It's not a book that
I'll never read, but it's not what I'm
going to reach for anytime soon.
So, that was the books we'll probably
never read tag. I feel like we haven't
done a video like this in a really long
time. Normally at the end of the year is
when we say 'no, we're not reading this' so
it's kind of nice to get it off our
chest, now. Also, while thinking about
books for this video, I came up with a
whole other list of books I regret
reading ,so maybe we'll do a sequel for
that one soon too.
We're not going to tag anyone to do this
but if you like the idea then consider
yourself tagged!
Thank you, everyone, so much for watching
this video, and we'll see you next time! Bye!
