Top Ten Tuesday - Ten Books That Were A Chore To Get Through This Year




Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.



Everblue (Mer Tales #1) by Brenda Pandos

I almost didn't finish this novel.
It's cheesy ya read.
It also has a cliffhanger ending and
I don't like cliffhanger endings!!

Shadow of the Crimson Queen by Eric A. Radulski

This audible was plain difficult to listen to!
Bad narration, weird music, and I
disliked the storyline.

Darkness Blooms by Christopher Bloodworth

This short story was a complete time suck!!
It's a weird story with crazy characters.


Dominated By His Ghostly Touch by Alexx Andria

Not my style of erotica.

The Mercenary by Jone Brown

Bad erotica short story.
It just didn't seem plausible


The Belmont Hotel, Room Service by Pauline Allan

I like erotica, but this short story wasn't for me.
I am not into male on male erotica.
Plus, the book was all about sex with not much
substance beyond that in my opinion.


Heartbeats by Lucia Jordon

I hate short stories with cliffhanger endings!!

The actions and thoughts of the main characters seemed so fake and unbelievable throughout this entire short story.

Murder at the Manor by C. T. Mitchell

Normally, I love cozy mystery novels and
short stories, but this one was painfully poor.

Snowed In With Death by Ruby Loren


It took me forever to finish reading this short cozy mystery!
The formatting for this ebook sucked and it disrupted the flow of the entire flow of the entire novella... Additionally, this novella needs some editing work as well. 
Most of the characters were so vain and narcissistic, that it was difficult to tolerate reading about them... And the plot was bad!!



The first few paragraphs of this short story were promising,
but things quickly went south from there.
Cheesy, pointless, juvenile story.

Which books have been difficult for you to get through?

  1. Murder at the Manor sounds like one I'd like, bummer it didn't work out. And Everblue as well. Sometimes I like mer stories but they don't always work. :)

  10. The only book I could come up with for this topic was Glass Sword. It was a total chore to read, and it convinced me to abandon the series.
