Top 5 Wednesday - Hyped 2019 Releases You Don't Care About

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme where you discuss your 'top 5' in a variety of different topics on, guess what, a Wednesday. Full list of topics and more information can be found here on the Goodreads group.

This weeks Top 5 Wednesday post is 2019 releases you don't care about. This is quite a controversial topic I know and I want to preface this list by saying please don't take offence. Just because I'm not excited for these releases doesn't mean you can't be, it just means they're not for me. If these are books your looking forward to then great and by all means try and convince me to want to pick them up. 


Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
expected publication date 19th November 2019

17699853

This is the first book in a new series (I think) by Cassandra Clare. I know there are a lot of people out there who are super excited for this but not me. I haven't read any of her other books and I don't really have any inclination to pick them up so this one is not on my list for this year. 

The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston
expected publication date 2nd April 2019

39725622

This is a contemporary romance story and this isn't a genre I usually read. The reason why this one doesn't appeal to me is as simple as that. 

There's Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon
expected publication date 14th May 2019 

35583527

Another contemporary romance story. I haven't read any of the other books by this author because they're not my genre so I won't be picking this one up either. 

Fierce Fragile Hearts by Sara Barnard
expected publication date 7th February 2019 

39354084

Same story as above. A contemporary story, not a genre I really read. 

The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker
expected publication date 1st February 2019

The Dreamers

The premise of this one intrigues me however, I read and didn't really enjoy this authors previous book so I'm not inclined to pick this up. Maybe I'll look at getting it from the library if the reviews are good but for now its a no from me. 

I'd love to hear about some popular upcoming releases that your not interested in. I quite enjoy reading other peoples opinions.

  4. Interesting enough, I picked up my first Cassandra Clare book last month (book 1 of the Clockwork series) and it was one of those books that grabbed me from the very first page and now I'm hooked! Read book 2 and am on the waiting list for book 3...

  5. I've only heard of the Cassandra Clare book. So can't say I'm hyped for any of them.

  6. The Cassandra Clare book looks good. So I am not sure about the others, though, I am sure they are all very good.

  7. All new to me - so I guess it is true - I don't care ;)

  8. I only heard of the Cassandra Claire book. I did love the Shadowhunters series.

  9. The only author I have read on your list is Sandhya Menon, and it was mainly because I wanted to check to read an Indian author's contemporary romance (and the one I picked had an added interest point of being set in San Francisco)..

  10. I just read a review The Dreamers wasn't great in the end. It was high on my TBR but it's interesting you didn't like the other book by the author!

  11. I'm excited for Cassandra Claire's release! The others are new to me.

  12. I know Cassandra Clare books are big but I haven't read any from her so it's also one of the hyped books that I don't care about.

  13. I have never read any of these - or any books from these authors.

  14. I have never heard of any of these authors or books so I guess I'm on the same boat as you!

  15. Ohh this is an interesting subject!! I'd love to do a list like this for books that I don't really care about! Mind if I steal this idea? hihi..

    Chain of Gold is one of my most anticipated releases haha. But I've been a huge fan of this author for many years now - before the big hype started haha - and I'm completely up to date with everything she's written so far so I guess it's different then.. As a reader, you sometimes grow alongside an author you've been reading for years and you definitely stick with them if they get hyped somewhere along the read. That's my experience with this author as well as with Sarah J. Maas for example. I've read them before they got hyped <3

  17. Great list! I don't have any of these on my to-reads either.

  18. Great post and great list except for the Cassandra Clare book which is the only book that I heard about from your list the rest of the books are all new to me. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.

  19. I am planning to read some Cassandra Clare books this year. 'Princess and the fan girl' too sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing them even though you are not interested in reading it.

  20. I'm excited for the Cassandra Clare book but I feel like there are so many out now in this world that it's very hard to keep the stories straight!

    One book I'm definitely not interested in (which I think has just come out) is The Wicked King by Holly Black. I read The Cruel Prince a couple of months ago and really wasn't a fan so I don't care about its sequel.
