Today’s topic is Things That Make Me Instantly NOT Want to Read a Book. However, I’m turning 30 tomorrow and want to do a bit of a throwback to my ‘30 Before 30′ post from a year ago.
Let me begin by saying that I certainly did not read all 30 books listed there, some I lost interest in, some I just couldn’t get into, others I did not make time for. I probably won’t be doing this type of challenge for my 40th birthday.
Without further ado, here are the highlights from the books I did read from that list:
The underwhelming ones:
The ones I did not finish:
Lastly, the ones I hope to read before my next birthday:

I’ve never participated in any kind of book challenge as far as reading goes. It always felt like too much of a “burden” for the type of reading I am, but this was fun to see. I hope even with the ones you didn’t read or didn’t enjoy, you still found some that were good reads. 🙂 And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have the best day AND 30 is a great year for you. 🙂
Thank you Rissi!
I liked The Radium Girls, but I did not finish it. Those poor girls suffered so much and for no good reason at all. 🙁
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Thank you Lydia!
Happy birthday! Some awesome looking books here, I saw good things for Radium Girls!
Thank you Greg! Radium Girls is indeed a good read.
Happy Belated Birthday!! I’m not familiar with any of these books, but they all have interesting covers! 🙂
This is an interesting post. I never thought about doing one like it. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve heard excellent things about Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thank you for stopping by earlier.
