An original book tag: the reluctant TBR tag.

What is a book you want to read, but...
1. It was a soft DNF (unable to finish it the first time, want to try again)
2. You’ve read another book by that author and didn’t enjoy it
3. It's brand new, and you don't know when you'll get around to it.
4. The cover is painfully ugly
5. It's a classic book that might be good for you, but you're not that interested
6. It's humongous and intimidating
7. You feel like you need to read it because it's hyped (but you're not excited)
8. You need to be in a specific mood to enjoy
9. You're on the fence about continuing the series
10. It's been on your TBR for a very long time
11. It's a genre outside your comfort zone
12. Despite owning it, you'll likely never read it (can include unhauled books, library loans)
13. It's only out of obligation to a book club/friend’s recommendation
14. Negative reviews have made you less excited
15. It hasn't come out yet
16. Tag 5 people!
