 Hey guys, it's Liana and I'm here today with the anti-TVR tag. I was tagged to do this by Luke Edwards. If you haven't checked out his channel, you shouldn't because he's a pretty chill dude. Yep, so as per usual, I have not prepared answers for any of these questions. We're just going to wing it, taking a quick glance. Um, this sounds very similar to the Unpopular Opinions tag that I did with world hoppers, and I was going to wear my world hoppers sweater, but it's in the wash, so any who sees. I feel like my answers for these questions will probably be quite similar to my answers to those questions in that tag in the world hoppers video. So what I'm saying is if you watched me on world hoppers, then you don't have to watch this video. You're off the hook, so just go check out Luke instead, because it'll be a better use of your time. Okay, so there's eight questions. And I will have the original creators tag linked down below, as well as Luke's video where he tagged me. Cool, cool, cool. So, question number one is a popular book everyone loves that you have no interest in reading. Um, I feel like usually if a book is really, really popular, I will almost always be curious to read it. Crescent City? Crescent City. I have no interest in reading that. Literally zero interest. Not even like, I'm curious, but I won't like it, but I'm curious and I have zero interest. I've been completely giving up on Zara J Maas. That said, I don't plan to read the new Akatar book, the silver something, the Nesta one. It's only the cover change, and I don't like Nesta's character, so I have zero interest in seeing a story about her. But like if I, I don't know, if I heard reviews from people who felt similarly to me on that series, like I could see myself possibly for some, you know, maybe giving it a go. I don't plan to, don't really want to, but I could see that maybe happening. Crescent City is absolutely, unless it's like a situation like Alan was in where like I lost a bet and like I am obligated now to read Crescent City, like there is just no way that I'm going to be choosing to read that, ever, ever. Okay, question number two is a classic book or author that you don't have an interest in reading. I'm sensing a pattern here. A popular classic book or author. So I don't, I don't know what officially constitutes a classic, and I do like classics. So again, I don't know. I regularly say that it's something that I will never, ever try. Usually, like I'm better at this if it's like an author that you've given up on, meaning I have tried it and I hated it, but if I've never read it, like I'm, like unless I've heard something like that the author included something so egregious and reprehensible that like on principle, like I would refuse to read anything like that, ever. There's like, I can't really think of anything that I would just be like, nope, never ever, under what? Because I just, I don't, I don't know. I just, I feel like I can't know. But okay, a classic book or author that you don't have an interest in reading. It's really hard also because I don't know how to narrow down classics. Well, I do, I tend not to like reading translated works and it's not because I have anything against like authors who are non-English speaking. It's just that I always feel like I don't actually, I haven't actually read that author's work because you're always gonna lose something in translation. And so I feel almost like if I've read a translated work, it's almost like saying that you've read the Hunger Games when you've just seen the movie. Like I have experienced an adaptation. It wasn't an adaptation to a different medium. It was an adaptation to a different language. So while it can be extremely loyal, it's not going to be the same thing. It's not what the author wrote. There are like subtleties of meaning and the way that you form your sentences, the words that you choose, the connotations that those words have, that it is not possible to translate that. It just isn't. So for that reason, like I want to read Dostoevsky. I would like to read Tolstoy, but also I feel like unless I learn to speak Russian, I don't know that I could really comfortably say that I've read Dostoevsky, that I've read Tolstoy. I've read some translations of their work and their concepts were interesting, but I don't know how they are as writers. Like I said, I've read Dumas, but I obviously read translations. I read The Phantom of the Opera, a translation. And I do, I love to count Montecristo. I love Phantom of the Opera, but I still don't feel like I can say that I love the work of Gaston Le Roux or Alexander Dumas because I've not read their words. So this is kind of a weird tangent. Like this is not really what the question was asking, but like it's not that I don't have an interest in classic books by authors who are non-English speaking. It's that I don't feel that I can say that I have read them and therefore like, yeah, that's the only thing that I can really think of to say is I, because it does diminish my interest in it because I don't, I would be interested in truly reading Tolstoy but I do not speak Russian so I do not feel like I can truly say that I have truly read Tolstoy and I'm not especially interested in stopping everything in my life to go and learn Russian. So, is that fair? I don't know. That's the best I can do. Question number three, on author whose books you have no interest in reading, didn't I just know I was a popular book? Okay, so an entire author, okay. Again, it's easier for me if it's an author that I've tried and didn't like it, I don't want to read any more from them but an author that I've never read from to just categorically say nothing from you, not ever. And then I think I was like possibly Orson Scott card because of, and it's not because his work is, I actually was quite interested in reading Ender's Game and I do own actually that I got a long time ago a trilogy and the first book is Pathfinder after that learned about Orson Scott card as a human. So that's not even that I'm not interested in his work because I actually was. I'm like icky about, I'm icky about supporting the author. An author that I have no interest in reading where it's nothing to do with like me just objecting on moral grounds to them as humans. Oh, great. Well, question is 3.2 is a problematic author whose books you have no interest in reading. Okay, so we just skip to that and say Orson Scott card, I guess, even though I low key am interested. But back to three. An author that is not problematic that I just don't want to you know, I don't know why I'm looking at my bookshelves as though I will be inspired because presumably everything that's on my bookshelves is books that I'm interested in reading. Maybe I should have appropriate answers for this instead of winging it, but also I will never do that. There's like, I can't think of anything that I would just categorically say no to. I say often pick up things that I don't think are necessarily my thing because I'm like, maybe it will be my thing or someone I know really likes it. So why not give it a go? Oh, no, I've got one. Definitely definitely got one. Fuck with her name. No, I have one. I'm just gonna pick up her name. She writes romances that are like super problematic. Like she's not a problematic author. So this is not the same as 3.8. 3.2 or 3.2? Not 3.8. She wrote November 9th. You know who I mean. It's like on the tip of my mind. I can see the cover. Just the part where her name is is blurred out. She wrote Ugly Love. Colleen Hoover. Yeah, I will not read a Colleen Hoover book. Not ever. Cool. Glad we could do that together. Oh, now I read the notes. You can combine questions 3 and 3.2 or you can answer them separately. Well, we've gone too far. Question number four. An author you have read a couple of books from and have decided their books are not for you. Marissa Meyer? Maybe? Because I read some of the Lunar Chronicles and was like and I started reading Renegades and I was just like, again? Like this happened with Naomi Novik and I would have said that for Naomi Novik but then I love spinning silver. So like I very, very really just write things off just completely. Like the author has to have done something that like offended my soul and that doesn't really happen. I tried a couple. Again, I'm looking at my bookshelves presumably if I felt that way I unhauled them. Like I would have said Brandon Sanderson possibly except that like that's not true because I still I plan to finish reading Elantris which I didn't finish in January but I'm planning to finish that. I own Skyward still plan to read that at some point probably. I just want to talk about it on my channel publicly. Yeah, I guess, I guess Marissa Meyer. Number five, a genre you have no interested in or a genre you're trying to get into and couldn't. Again, there's like nothing that I categorically say no to. Even like I would have said probably like romance novels but like Amanda makes me read them and sometimes I like them. Oh, I even seek them out by myself if it's written by Grace Draven because Grace Draven Chef's kiss. Again, I'm looking at my shelves. They're not gonna be on there if I'm not interested. This is so hard. Okay, a genre you have no interested in. I would have said sicklet except I loved Five Feet Apart. Yeah, there's pretty much nothing that I wouldn't consider reading. There's like definitely things that like I'm not like super keen on that I'm not gonna like leap towards but I would never just not read it. Like if I like Evelyn Hugo was not the kind of book that I would leap towards but everyone said it was great so I read it and it was great. Yeah, that's just nope. Number six, a book you have bought but will never read. This can be a book that you unhauled and returned to the library if like I don't still have to own it. Um, well I just unhauled a bunch of books. So just any one of those go watch my unhaul. There's plenty of books in that unhaul that are books that I never read that I just was like I'm never gonna read those books will be real. So there's like 30 books. Like unhaul that just just take your pick. Go watch that take your pick. Question number seven, a series you have no interest in reading or a series that you started and have DNF. So I have a lot of those. Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson The Faneful and the Fallen by John Gwynne um Red Sister or the what's it the book of the Ancestor by Mark Lawrence these are the big ones that come to mind. I don't especially want to read the sequel to Rage of Dragons but I'm willing to give that a go so not that I guess. Kind of that but yeah well I already gave three answers so that's plenty. I don't have to keep thinking. And question number eight is a new release you have no interest in reading. I feel like well what is new? What constitutes new? I would if Crescent City is pretty new but I already said Crescent City. So what's new new? Honestly this is the shallowest reason ever. Everyone keeps hyping Lentenborn. I'll probably try it at some point but literally just because of the cover like the cover looks to me like a book that I would have no interest in reading. Everyone seems to like really praise it and that's the shallowest reason in the world but I do fairly firmly believe especially nowadays there is so much thought put into making cover designs appeal to their target audience that like a lot of the time I'm like if the cover doesn't appeal to me there is a reason I am not the target audience. That's not always true so I won't just like not read a book solely based on the cover because that isn't like a hard and fast rule but I think there is something to that that said like maybe it's being mis-marketed maybe like it anyway but the cover just looks I don't even know if I know how to describe it like what it is about the cover that makes me think I won't like it I think it's because it looks well I don't really like people on covers especially if they're like really like prominently feature like I don't mind if it's kind of like a silhouette or like like a part of a person is visible or like something really stylized or like there are like yeah there are exceptions but I generally don't really like to have a person on the cover and then just like the colors of it and the like vibe of it I know it feels like I don't want to say like I watch CW shows but I want to say it looks like a CW show but not a good CW show like it looks like one of those CW shows that like gets canceled after the pilot that's terrible I'm so sorry to ever design the cover I'm sure you're talented it's just not my style it just it looks like that to me it looks like something that like they put together because they were like the CEOs were checking boxes on like what's popular right now and like threw together this pilot and then we're like what didn't it work well because it had no soul because you just checked boxes on what was popular right now you didn't actually have an idea and like that's horrible I'm sure the book is great everyone says it's great I'm sure the cover artist is talented because people seem to like the cover too but when I look at that cover that's what I think so that's why I don't want to write that because I'm just picturing reading a bad CW pilot and that's terrible but that's how I feel all righty well let me know in the comments down below if you hate me now which is very possible then again if you didn't already hate me then odds are good that you may not hate me now because I feel like I didn't say anything especially different from what I've said before I'm consistent if offensive anywho yeah I'm gonna tag some people down below I don't know if they've done this tag but if they have they can do it again with different answers because they might hate new things so yeah let me know all the things I post videos on Saturdays other random times as well but definitely Saturdays so like and subscribe or don't whenever I'll see you when I see you bye
