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.
Popular Book or series that you didn't like.
I couldn't get into The 5th Wave that I just didn't read it properly. I just started scanning the last half of the book. But I am curious about the movie though.
I was so excited for The Heir since I really like the first three books in The Selection series. But the main character came of as a spoiled brat. And I didn't like the storyline at all. I think it was completely unnecessary for another book. I don't even want to bother with this series anymore.
Popular Book or series that every one else seems to hate but you love.
These books aren't exactly hated but on Goodreads, their average rating is around 3 stars when I gave all of them 5 stars.
Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with.
Switched was actually the first book to make me switch my OTP. At first, I was really frustrated because my ship was going down and I contemplated dropping the book. But I ended up loving the last two books in the series even more
Taking Chances was actually a book I was enjoying but it took a turn for the worse. It left me in tears and it was way too much for me to handle. I ended up scanning the rest of the book but it still hurt. I haven't even thought of picking it up ever again.
Popular book genre that you hardly reach for.
Contemporary & Steampunk
I do read contemporary every now and then. But I'm more attached to Fantasy and Paranormal. And contemps. are usually not the most memorable books for me. I've always loved fantasy when I was little like it's my calling.
Then there's also steampunk. It's a genre I have never touched. I don't think that's ever changing. I do love historical fiction and reading about victorian eras and the big gowns. But with the added technology element, it doesn't draw my attention. However, there is a book I own that I am willing to try. It's called Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard. Not sure how it will go but maybe it will make me change my mind about steampunk.
A popular or beloved character that you do not like.
The Darkling
I was really curious about this mysterious Darkling because he's what everyone has been raving about before I even read the book. But he just came of as very creepy and I was always suspicious of him. I've only read the first book in the series so I don't know if I'll change my mind of him later. But right now I'm just not keen on him.
A popular author that you can't seem to get into.
Rainbow Rowell
I read her Landline novel and I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I ended up giving it 3 stars and it's kind of put me off of her other books. Before I read Landline, I was interested in Eleanor & Park and Fangirl. But now, not so much.
A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing.
Love Triangles
Don't get me started with love triangles! I do love them when they're very well written but it just breaks my heart when I can't decide which love interest I love more. A good example of a strong love triangle is from The Arcana Chronicles. The main character just has lots of chemistry with both love interests and both men are so swoon worthy. I can already tell my heart will break in the last book.
But when love triangles are bad, they're BAD! Just a bunch of unwanted drama or the losing love interest is killed or changed into a jerk. It happened with one of my favorite series and I still can't believe it!
A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
I have no interest in either these two series. The cover for ATPOY is so pretty but the summary just doesn't pull me in. And I was interested in My Soul To Take until I found out there's a love triangle that I'd rather not try it.
Show/Movie Adaption that You Liked Better Than the Book
I tried reading The Hunger Games a long time ago and I couldn't get into it. Same deal with TMR, I'd rather see the movie. I'm still debating this one though.
I'm Tagging:
Sarah from The YA Book Traveler
Mishma from Chasing Faerytales
Nori from Read Write Love 28
Talina from Sassy And Dangerous
Amber and Jessica from The Book Bratz
