The Unpopular Opinion Book Tag!

   The Unpopular Opinion Book Tag was created by The Book Archer. I was tagged by Christy from Novel Ink and Nicola from Books & Starlight.

   It was actually very difficult to find books where I was part of the 10% that doesn't like a book or where I do like it. I tend to like book more than dislike it because I'm always reading my favorite genres or not reading books with low ratings.

2016 Books I'm Dying For: Fantasy Edition

   Apparently class of 2016 is heavenly-packed with so many amazing books coming out, which is why I decided to feature several books at once.

   I usually don't go around looking for books that come out each year because my TBR tends to grow. And guess what? I added 68 books that come out next year. That's crazy!! It feels like every '16 book is in my TBR. I have no idea how I'm going to choose what to read because obviously it's impossible to read every single book out there and I won't get to read them all like I hope to.

   There's already 16 books I want read that come out in 2017. I'm also wanting to read the books I actually already own. They've been neglected this year since I've been reading arcs only.

Never Be Ashamed Of Your Book Opinions

Have you ever been criticized on your review? Or for writing it the way you did?

   Bloggers write reviews to help other readers find what to read next or whether they should a buy a book or not. We help generate sales because lots of people do look at reviews. Reviews are our own thoughts and opinions on books. And we should never feel bad about our opinions because that's all they are. Opinions. 

   We should never criticize someone for how they do their review. Or for thinking the way they did.
