Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. For the list of past topics and future schedule, click here.
Books I’ve Decided I’m No Longer Interested In Reading
Honestly, I don’t spend much time thinking about or remembering books I’m not interested in reading anymore. After the last few weeks’ posts and comments though, these two books came to mind. I wanted to come back around to Treasured Dreams. I started it in September and just couldn’t get through it. I’ve decided I’m passing on it entirely.
I also want to finish Gone with the Wind to say I’ve finished it…but I am more interested in 290879874845094865 million other books.

Yeah I honestly won’t pick up a book unless I want to read it. So with all the 300+ books I have that I need to read, I find I still really want to read them all! It makes choosing my next read incredibly hard, but I usually end up finding some book I really want to read next. When I can’t decide I draw from the TBR jar! Lol!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

I tried the TBR Jar…and it just didn’t work for me. I still have it, but I am too schedule-y to go by the whims of what I draw.
It’s those “other” books that always keep me from reading certain classics, too.
I started Gone with the Wind in college and I think I stopped at chapter 12. We have so many great choices today, and that’s amazing to say!
I read Gone with the Wind years ago and it was good but not amazing. While there’s a bit more that happens in the book than in the movie the movie gives you the overall gist. I really need to prune my list. I’m sure there’s quite a number of books that are on my TBR that I don’t really want to read anymore.
I’m with Katherine; GWTW was good but not amazing. (And the ending was a bit disappointing; I like my HEAs.) Life’s too short and there are too many books to push on with one you don’t like unless there’s a good reason to.
I read Gone With the Wind when a teenager and it blew me away. But I was heavily into American Civil War stories at the time and recall actually dreaming about it… I have a hunch that these days, I’d be far less enthusiastic and as several folks have pointed out – we have such a choice these days, there is NO POINT in slogging through a book if you don’t feel the love:))
I’ve never been interested in Gone With the Wind; it just seems too long and not that intriguing. LOL
