i may be alone in this boat....
...but are there any popular books or series you've NOT read just because they're "in" right now?
I frequently get annoyed with trendy series and can't bring myself to even crack a page. I compare it to the hype a lot of blockbuster movies get: You go in expecting it to be so great and it ends up disappointing you because of your expectations. I don't read movie reviews for this reason... but I find it incredibly hard not to take book suggestions to heart. When it's something that everyone is reading, I can't get away from the 'OMG ITS SOOOO GOOD' feedback, and I just can't bring myself to give it a "fair" shot.
Re: i may be alone in this boat....
I think most books/series are popular for a reason - they're awesome. High expectations alone rarely, if ever, ruin a book for me.
52 Books in 2014??

Not me. I usually tend to like the really popular ones. I read Harry Potter late, but its because I tried to read it once several years before and really just couldn't get into it. I'm not sure if it was just the mood or what because several years later I read it all and loved it.
I read Twilight series and Hunger Games series right as they were getting popular, but that's not why I've read them.
I haven't read 50 SOG, but that's less because its popular and more because I just don't think it is something I would enjoy.
All the others? I've absolutely tried them out. Usually I agree with the masses.

I hope nobody jumps down my throat BUT I wish I had waited just a little bit before reading TFIOS. That isn't to say I didn't like the book... I did really like it!!! It's just that with everybody going nuts over it & my reading it right after everybody was going nuts, it was almost impossible for it to live up to it's hype. Had I waited a bit, I probably would have had the same reaction as everybody else.
Let me reiterate - I really liked TFIOS!
Don't revoke my NBC card!
LOL! That's exactly what came to my mind.
