Top Ten Tuesday- Books On My To-Read List That I’m Avoiding

Rarely do I AVOID a book on my TBR.  Usually I am often just sidetracked by other books that seem to better catch my attention in the moment.  However I have one big weakness.  Emphasis on BIG.  The size of a book, especially when it is a series.
I cannot promise all these are my 'top' but these are the ones that came to mind first.








I technically read this book years ago (and part of the second book until I found it was missing pages) but I don't remember much and never finished the series.  At over 15 books each over 800 pages I am very intimidated to get into this series but I an determined to try soon.








 







I have seen most of the series (still haven't seen the last season). And liked it quite a bit.  But there are an insane amound of details and I hear there book is even more intricate if the characters, places and connections.  I think I might need to journalt things as I do this series and will need to give it most of my focus to do it justice.  So I keep postponing it.













This book is HUGE!  And has multple POVs I hear which I can struggle with.  As is I am reading IT by Stephen King which is another massive tome.  Maybe next year.... I really want to read it (wish they continued the tv show...) but the concept really intrigues me.






















I have this on my kindle but I don't know if I'll ever get to it.  It is a sequel to a book I didn't enjoy really.  But this one has much better feedback so I am torn.


















This manga series has nearly 100 volumes to it!  That is huge!   I would have put One Piece hear but I've already made a dent in that series but I haven't started this one and whenever I think about that number, not to mention how to acquire them all, I keep pushing it further down my list.
















Another 1000+ pages tome!  But I have wanted to read this for years now but when I think of focus I will need to read this it stays on the shelf.  It isn't easy to get a book written hundreds of years ago, translated over the centuries and then put to English and get is right so a bit nervous.













This is both really long and it has to battle with my love of the movie.  A favorite story for sure but am I ready for the novel?  Still in debate and therefor on my shelf.  I actually have 2 copies of this.  A newer one I got from the used bookstore and I also have my great-grandmothers copy.  It is in sad shape which is why I bought another one but I love that I have an original copy.









 





Another high detailed series I have yet to get into.  I love the premise of the story but also fear it might move too slowly for me to stay interested.  I haven't seen the show yet either so it is hard to say.


















Another long series.  Lots of characters, details and timelines.  And do I start here or the prequels?  Not to mention and author change which I never like (regardless of why) in a series.















This for the hype.  I have yet to read a Brandon Sanderson novel *GASP* . Sorry.  I have heard nothing but great things and he has reached amazing heights in reputation as a fantasy author.  What if I don't like him near as much as others?  Will I be annoyed I've been blinding collecting him for over 2 years?  Frustrated at tackling a long book I didn't love?  Or shunned from the community (not really) for not enjoying a beloved favorite author?








So what are some books you keep avoiding to pick up and read?
