Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week we talk about our top ten with a different topic provided by Jana. This week’s topic is top ten – Unpopular Bookish Opinions
One
I love dog-earring pages. Fight me.
Two
I also have no issues with writing/highlighting in your books.
Three
I liked Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. I thought it was fun and enjoyable.
Four
I hate Deckled Edges. I think they look bad and they make it unnecessarily difficult to turn the page.
Five
Some movie adaptations are better than their books (I’m looking at you Dumplin’)
Six
Rainbow Bookshelves seriously stress me out. I love how they look but if I think about it too long it makes me anxious.
Seven
I didn’t love The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. I prefer The Mortal Instruments.
Eight
AUDIOBOOKS ARE A VALID FORM OF READING. I say I’m reading X book even if I’m listening to the audiobook.
Nine
I don’t like the horror genre and I will never willingly pick one up. I also don’t totally understand why people enjoy reading things that make them scared. (You do you, but I don’t enjoy being scared. No horror anything for me, books, movies, podcasts.)
Ten
I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a huge physical TBR. Many bookdragons are collectors and enjoy collecting books that everyone loves and talks about.
What are your unpopular opinions? Comment and let me know!
Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.

haha I love horror but it’s because I am a scaredy cat about everything in life – it’s controlled scares for me. Ask me to go on a rollercoaster and I’ll run screaming LOL
Yay audiobooks! that one made my list too!
Great list! So many good ones and DOG EAR AWAY!
I’m the opposite! I love rollercoasters and bridge jumping and all that stuff. It takes some inner convincing but i always love it when i do it.
I always say I am reading a book when I am really listening to an audiobook. I love audiobooks. My TTT Bookish Opinions
Yes! The only time I really even mention its an audiobook is if I’m talking about the narrator.
Hallo, Hallo, Amanda!
I personally LOVE audiobooks – I love borrowing them through my local libraries as much as when I’m able to I like my subscription to Scribd and I do participate in audiobook blog tours time after time, too. There is something wonderfully immersive about them and I can’t get enough of them really! Like you, I get defensive whenever people say “ooh but that’s not READING”… that argument needs to die.
I totally support movie vs book admiration’s — for me, I would say DNF “The Horse Whisperer” based on the final scene in the book because it *destroyed me!* — the film, on the other hand was wicked brilliant and to this day still heals my soul in comparison to the book!
Hmm.. for Horror? I’m really old school and unique – I even coined the term “Cosy Horror” which implies what it sounds like – a cosier way of exploring psychological suspense (hence the ‘old school’ ref) — if you think Hitchcock, your quite on the same page as I am with the stories I seek out to read for “Cosy Horror”. Their not classified differently – you just have to feel them out. I’ve blogged a heap about them — any of the anthos by World Weaver Press definitely count, if you spy out those in my Story Vault – look for Fae, Scarecrow, Corvidae especially and Frozen Fairy Tales.
When it comes to traditional Horror – where its gruesome, graphic and grotesque? #notmycuppa!
I truthfully concur with you!! The bigger our TBRs the more engaged we are bookishly and that is just fine by me!! I know I’ll most likely never put a dent in it – half the list is memorised rather than written down and even if I never scale the mountain, I can have a heap of wicked sweet fun climbing it!!
Loved your list! I need to return to TTT this Summer,…
I get all my audiobooks from my library too! I’ve actually never bought a single audiobook. I like thrillers! I just can’t so scary monsters or gruesome. I agree we will totally have fun trying to climb the TBR pile!!
I don’t like deckled edges either. They make brand new books feel old.
YES! And I always fail epically at turning the pages.
Apparently, there are a whole lot of popular, unpopular opinions among us book bloggers!
I wonder at what point they are no longer unpopular opinions? LOL!
I agree on dog Earing Pages! I had that on my list too! Great list, I really liked TMI but have heard a lot of people say TID is better, nice to hear a different opinion! I love audiobooks and agree with you, they are reading!
My list: https://bookslifeotheroddities.wordpress.com/2019/06/11/my-unpopular-bookish-opinions/
I liked TID but I’m not big on steampunky books and theres as aspect for TID with the clockwork creatures. I also am just in general not a huge fan of the time period.
Oof, #6 though. Beautiful, but how in the world doesn’t anyone ever find their books? I asked about rainbow bookshelves once on Twitter and a couple of friends who have worked in book stores replied and said they remembered some people buy any random book to fit their aesthetic. I just don’t get it. 😦
I can’t with the rainbow shelves. I think theyre so pretty but they give me serious anxiety if I think about it for too long.
There are people who don’t like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child…why??
I dont know? I loved it. So many people hate on it and don’t want to consider it cannon.
Great list! I must admit I do love a deckled edge – especially on historical fiction – but they can sometimes be a pain in the backside. I don’t write in my books, mainly because my handwriting is atrocious, but I love people who do and who aren’t afraid to make a book completely their own – it really bugs me when people try and tell other people how they should keep their books pristine!
I think everyone can be so busy telling other people what to do. its ridiculous! Let people love thier books or dogear the pages or crack the spine or none of those things!
I don’t mind dogearring or writing in books either, I’ve done both, if it’s your book, you can do what you want with it and it really bugs me when other people judge you for not keeping your books pristine. Fair enough if that’s how you like your own books, but don’t tell me how to keep mine. I also didn’t mind The Cursed Child, I thought parts of it were quite funny. Some movie adaptations are better than their books and rainbow bookshelves also stress me out, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON’T KEEP SERIES AND AUTHORS TOGETHER.

So much yes to literally everything you said lo!
🙂
I don’t have a problem with dog eared pages either (assuming we’re not talking about a library or borrowed book here. I’m careful with other people’s property. 🙂 )
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
That’s right! Only the books that are mine! Anyone elses gets treated with the utmost care and respect!
I totally agree with you about dog-eared pages and also about audiobooks counting as reading! I mean, you’re even spending more time with an audiobook than you would with a book? Great list!
My TTT
Thanks! I’m glad you’re in agreement!
I’m not a horror fan either. Life is scary enough, why be freaked out by fiction? I love the idea of rainbow shelves, but then I start hyperventilating…how am I supposed to find a specific title I’m looking for if my books aren’t organized alphabetically?!
Exactly my feelings too!!
Yes, audiobooks absolutely are a valid form of reading.
My TTT.
Totally!
I think Dumplin’ was better than the book! 🙂
Agreed! I said that in a TTT post a few weeks ago about movie adaptations!
I personally can’t handle reading horror books at all! But that’s just because I’m a huge baby! And yes, audiobooks are totally a valid form of reading! I never understand how this is still a debate but hey. Thanks for the awesome post!
Here is my <a href="https://sometimesleelynnreads.com/2019/06/11/top-ten-tuesday-unpopular-bookish-opinions/"TTT if you want to visit!
Thanks! I am also a huge baby when it comes to horror.
I am the same with horror! And I also agree about audiobooks! My list: https://hannahslibrary.com/2019/06/11/top-ten-tuesday-unpopular-bookish-opinions/
Deckled edges are the worst..
I love audiobooks, and it’s definitely a valid way of reading!!
I love the looks of rainbow shelves, but i would never do it to my own shelves, i would hate splitting up series or even already books from the same author..

Same for me with the rainbow shelves! I love how they look but I could never do it to my own books.
