None of those books make me want to read them...
Aurora wrote: "None of those books make me want to read them..."my sentiments exactly. 100%
I love Jennifer Saint and am looking forward to Elektra! I also want to read The Hacienda, The Woman in the Library, and The Children on the Hill.
Sea of Tranquility, Unlikely Animals, and Lessons in Chemistry, are on my TBR.
Aurora wrote: "None of those books make me want to read them..."I'm interested in ONE book, Memphis. Not an interesting list.
Apparently I'm not part of "absolutely everyone."
Con suerte hay 3 que me llaman la atencion
I will definitely read Memphis, possibly will read Sea of Tranquility. It has been so long since I read a John Grisham book that I may even consider Sparring Partners.
I will read Memphis. Just finished Afrotistic by Kala Omeiza-Wonderful book!

Guess we're not in the subset of "absolutely everyone."
Why do most of the comments on this type of list display such superiority and rudeness?? Every time! "Well, none of these books interest ME!" <---You're not so special, Sweetie. ;-)
Make a book recommendation and just leave out your negative snottiness, please. There's already enough negativity around these days.
Heavenly bodies should be on here! It’s just been released and is pretty good as the author’s debut
Love this list! I'd also include Chris Bohjalian's The Lioness & Alicia Thompson's Love in the time of Serial Killers!

Because the post is literally called "absolutely everyone" wants to read these. That's obviously never going to be true so... why even name it that? It's not about superiority, it's about pointing out clickbaity nonsense.

I have to say I agree. There is a sense of hostility and pouting that is voiced with these kinds of lists that is annoying and definitely unnecessary! I've tried to ignore it over the years; however, it's gotten old. What is needed at this time is constructive feedback, not kvetching.

Agreed. I do feel like websites/media tend to push the same books with the biggest marketing budgets but to not be remotely interested in any of these books? Yes, they are all fiction but a pretty wide variety of fiction. And even if you aren't, why the need to always announce it?
"Yes, they are all fiction but a pretty wide variety of fiction. And even if you aren't, why the need to always announce it?"Right. We shouldn't point out how dreadful these lists are and the tired formula of Want to Read shelves to compile the lest.
Typical journalistic hyperbole. Not 'absolutely everyone' wants to read them. I certainly don't - not any one of them.

WoW! What a "snotty" negative response. Just because the titles aren't interesting to some doesn't mean they have a superior attitude.
I really enjoyed Sea of Tranquility and Lessons in Chemistry. Unlikely Animals and The Candy House are in my queue.
I am interested in Book Lover, The No Show, and Lessons in Chemistry. I heard a good review of The Wedding Crasher so may add that to my list as well.
Sea of Tranquility is excellent. I'd read The Glass Hotel first, just for some extra background. Heck, I'd recommend reading all of Emily St John Mandel's work.

The only negative comment is yours- the rest are simply giving an opinion or pointing out the absurdity of the article.
And and... Does publishing know other birds exist? Why is it always magpies? Why do we never have herons, cockerels, cassowaries, kiwis, the noble hen?
