Top Ten Most Intimidating Books
Oh, I have some intimidating books on my shelves. The reason why they intimidate me vary from their size, the plot is something I usually don't enjoy, I got it as a gift and I don't know if I'll like it, etc.
The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas
I bought it two years ago when I was in Prague and started it around Octoberlast year but I couldn't get into it and until then it is sitting on my booshelf with its beautiful spine and I am not sure if I will pick it up ever again.
The Distant Hours by Kate Morton
I got it in London in 2011 and I started it right away. Unfortunately I am a wuss when it comes to scary or creepy parts in books - I have a vivid imagination and when something gets creepy I tend to get nightmares. So I stopped and cannot bring myself to pick it up again which is annoying because I think about it quite often and wonder how it ends.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
I want to read this book so badly but I can't pick it up - don't ask me why. the beautiful German cover |
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke
It's the last book in the Inkheart trilogy and I adore the first two books but when I'll read the third I will never ever experience reading this book for the first time and that saddens me.
anything by Charles Dickens
anything by Leo Tolstoy
The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
I read The Archived by Victoria earlier this year and adored it but I cannot get myself to reading the Near Witch because the blurb on the backcover sounds creepy.So, I just got 7 books that intimidate me but even that's too many in my opinion and I now want to read at least one of those in 2013.
Which books intimidate you and why?
GO READ THE NEAR WITCH!!! Seriously!! It's SO GOOD!! It is a kind of creepy fairytale, but it's AMAZING and you will LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteOh, and A Discovery of Witches is awesome as well :)
The Discovery of Witches is a fun book. Kinda silly at times, but hard to put down. Near Witch is incredible.
