Happy Tuesday bookish loves!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and has been moved to That Artsy Reader Girl since January 16, 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday is Books I’ve Decided I’m No Longer Interested In Reading. I’m pretty selective when it comes to what I want to read and the books I buy. That being said, I rarely ever DNF or lose interest in books or series. I just don’t really venture out of my comfort zone that much and always look for books I think I will love and enjoy. Nevertheless, I still do stumble upon a few books/series every now and then that I can’t seem to get into and those that just doesn’t sound appealing to me anymore, so I lost interest in reading them.

Here are 5 books/series I am No Longer Interested in Reading.

Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller – I just didn’t really like this book as much as I thought I would. Read my review HERE. I thought I would want to continue the series, but at this point, I think I’m done with it.

Da Vinci’s Tiger by L.M. Elliot – I got this book in my Owlcrate and I was quite interested in reading it, but I wasn’t in the mood. Well, I haven’t been in the mood for a long time and after taking a look at it again, I don’t think I’ll ever read it.

Soundless by Richelle Mead – Another book I got in my Owlcrate that I’m no longer interested in reading. I did try to read this book twice and after a chapter or two, I just can’t seem to get into it.

Stealing Snow by Danielle Page – I love retellings, so of course I would add this to my TBR… but that premise just doesn’t seem all that enticing anymore. I’m still keeping this on my Goodreads TBR just in case I ever change my mind later on. However, I highly doubt that I will…

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco – The cover of this book is absolutely stunning. It’s definitely one of those covers that just pulls you in, so without reading the premise, I added this on my Goodreads TBR. Now… I’m not so sure. I love the supernatural and witches and all that, but the synopsis just doesn’t sound that intriguing.

What are some books you once wanted to read, but have changed your mind about them? Do you think any of the books on my list are actually worth the read? Leave your comments down below and the link to your TTT so I can check it out. Have a wonderful day!!!

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

Growing up, the three of us were friends.

He was the nerd.

I was the playboy.

She was the beauty.

Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.

He lied.

I went off to college, and he got the girl.

Amber never knew how I felt.

They were together for years—before he broke her heart.

Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch.

When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.

Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.

One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings.

Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity.

Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message.

She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend— me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)

Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel.

When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she got the surprise of her life to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.

Penelope Ward is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling author. She’s a seventeen-time New York Times bestseller. Her novels are published in over a dozen languages and can be found in bookstores around the world. Having grown up in Boston with five older brothers, she spent most of her twenties as a television news anchor, before switching to a more family-friendly career. She is the proud mother of a beautiful 13-year-old girl with autism and a 12-year-old boy. Penelope and her family reside in Rhode Island.
