We have been doing a lot of tags lately. I love doing tags, though, so it’s no problem with me!
It’s Melia and I am going to be doing the To Not To Read Tag! This tag was created by Icebreaker694 who also tagged us.
Before we start, I am going to tell you about my current reading crisis! I just finished The 100 by Kass Morgan and I loved it so much and I can’t get my hands on the next book and I have no interest in reading anything other than that and I am going to die!
Anyway, let’s start,
RULES
Thank the person who tagged you

Answer the questions with books you DNF
Tag people!
1. A book you’d be willing to finish
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
For my Summer TBR Wipeout 2016, I was going to read this book. I didn’t get too far before putting it down, but I would still love to finish it. It sounds so good and I really want to get into this series. I guess I just wasn’t in the mood.
2. A dystopian book that you put down
Flawed by Cecelia Ahern
I do want to try reading this book again. I only put it down because of the reading slump that I am in right now. I am in the mood for nothing but The 100. If you have any recommendations for books like The 100, please let me know!
3. A book that you just didn’t want to finish at all
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
At first, I did want to read it. I thought it had more fantasy than it does. I got, maybe 100 pages in before just putting it down. I don’t have any interest in picking it up again. I know that a lot of people love this book so much, but it’s just not for me.
4. A sequel
The Winner’s Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
I loved the first book and I liked the second, but when I got to this one, the excitement had just drained out of me. After I put it down, I quickly skimmed the ending. I was curious about how it ended, but I didn’t want to read anymore. *sighs* I had such high hopes for this book yet I was a bit unsure.
5. A book you will never pick up again
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I went into this book with such high hopes only to be thrown into it, confused and irritated. The characters just annoyed me and I had no idea whar was going on. I am not picking this book up again.
6. A book with too much hype
I am just going to go with my previous answer for this question as well. What? I am not lazy!
7. A haunting read
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
This is the only horror book I have ever read and let’s just say it has put me off horror completely. I stopped about 100 pages in. It had me up a midnight looking for zombies out my window. *shudders*
8. A contemporary
I don’t have an answer for this question because I am not a big contemporary reader. I have read a few contemporary’s, but I finished them all. Wow, that is something I have wanted to say for awhile.
9. A book you were unsure of
All Fall Down by Ally Carter
I was a bit iffy about reading this book, but I didn’t have anything else to read at the time. My instincts were right (Obviously! *tosses hair back*) and I ended up putting it down and not having any interest in reading it again.
I tag…

As always, don’t feel obligated to doing this tag. If you don’t want to you don’t have to. It’s only for fun!

Thanks so much for the tag!❤️

Thank you for the tag, Melia! 😀 I’d be more than happy to answer this one but I don’t have enough DNFed book to finish this, LOL. I’ll still be doing this though, because tags are always a lot of fun, although my post might have to sit in my drafts for a very long time (as my DNFed books pile up). Thanks again! ❤

Haha! You must be really committed to most of your books! If I don’t like a book, I just can’t finish it. There are a few books I did push on with and really enjoyed in the end.

Yes, I really try my best to finish every book I’m reading even though it gets painful sometimes, haha! That’s one of the reasons I keep reading even though I’m not enjoying the book, maybe it’ll surprise me. 😀

Oooooo great tag!!! I look forward to doing this. One of my future post is about books I will not read so this goes hand in hand with it. Thank you for tagging me!

I really enjoyed all your answers! 😀 Alice in Zombieland looked rather scary to me, I really don’t like zombies. And I agree with The Maze Runner. I saw the movie and loved it but I could not open the book, I don’t really know why.

Yeah. Alice in Zombieland was… ok, I guess. It definitely wasn’t a favourite though!

I quite liked some of these books! I guess I just don’t DNF very often. Maybe one or two books I don’t plan to finish? Others I’ve just had to send back to the library, etc., but I totally plan on getting them again.
As for a 100 recommendation…. If you’re looking for the post-apocalyptic thing, maybe City of Ember? After the first book, the idea is a lot more similar.
For the space thing, I would recommend Cress by Marissa Meyer (I know it’s the third book, but YOU HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE SERIES.)
Aaaaaaand for the general teenage criminal vibe, I would have to say The Lunar Chronicles (again)!

I have read Cinder and Scarlet and I loved them both so much! I don’t really know why I haven’t read Cress yet. I should really get on top of that. Thanks for the recommendations!
