Happy Top Ten Tuesday!
Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read
1. Stephanie Meyer
Ok, I did read the first chapter of the first Twilight book. But that doesn't really count, right?
2. E. L. James
And I've sworn not to.
3. Marissa Meyer
Maybe I'll get to Cinder and co., maybe not.
4. James Patterson
5. Stephanie Perkins
I feel like almost every blog I read has mentioned Anna and the French Kiss.
6. Nora Roberts
Not really into romance.
7. Janet Evanovich
I see her books everywhere.
8. Ian Fleming
He has a huge following, just don't know if it's my cup of tea.
9. Cormac McCarthy
Again, huge following, his subject matter just seems too grim to me.
10. John Updike
I liked some of his poetry I saw, but the Rabbit books don't really appeal to me.

Here's my TTT for the week. Happy reading!
@Becky LeJeune Yes, let's start a no-E.L. James pact!
@Bookzilla I agree dystopian is overrated, but why is it your least favorite?
The closest I can come to an answer now is that dystopian novels are invariably frightening and sad. Characters I come to love are sacrificed because they "know too much," or are viewed as heroes in a society that doesn't tolerate their existence.
It's hard to explain more clearly than that.
