The Unpopular Opinion Book Tag was created by The Book Archer. I was tagged by Karina. Thanks!
Popular Book or Series you didn't like.
There is a lot to say here but these were my biggest disappointments this year. I wanted to DNF both The Storyspinner and An Ember in Ashes but I trudged through it. The Wrath and the Dawn also was such a let down for me. I did NOT like the characters. My review to come tomorrow.
Popular Book or Series that everyone else seems to hate but you love.
The Witch Hunter seems to be getting a bit of a mixed review. HOWEVER, I LOVED this book. It was one of my favorites this year. It's hilarious, which was unexpected, and I loved all the characters.
Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with.
One word: Nikolai
Popular book genre that you hardly reach for.
Contemporary. I've had a couple this year that I've LOVED, but I usually have no desire to read them.
A popular or beloved character you did not like.
Draco Malfoy. I am not a Draco fan. He's a coward, a jerk and I don't really get the love for him.
A popular author that you can't seem to get into.
John Green. I read The Fault in our Stars with was okay, but I have ZERO desire to read any more of his books.
A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing.
Enough said. I normally don't mind them, but they're starting to bug me.
A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
I've NEVER been interested in reading this series. The covers kinda weird me out.
Show/Movie Adaptation that you like Better than the book
It's so rare to have a movie that is better than the books but hands down, I loved these movies way more! The Startdust movie is AWESOME and the book was so confusing that it made me not want to read anymore of Neil Gaiman's books...

YES for Nikolai! :D I shipped him and Alina so hard ever since I met him in the second book. <3
ReplyDeleteYes! He's basically the best part of the series! :D
DeleteThanks again, Sarah, for tagging me! I am so excited. I need to start thinking hard because I feel like I can use the same books for multiple answers. I am also not a huge contemporary fan, but since I have started blogging it has convinced me to read more of them. :D

I've had some really great contemporary reads this year. They are quick reads too which is really nice!
DeleteWow An Ember In The Ashes was one of my favorite books of this year. Sorry you didn't enjoy it :/ I liked The Wrath and The Dawn but not on the same level that everyone feels. I actually ended up not loving The Witch Hunter. In the beginning, it was really good but it kept going downhill for me.

Yes I was disappointed that I didn't love Storyspinner, Wrath and Ember. They were some of my most anticipated books this year. Oh well, we all like different things!
DeleteI don't think I've read any books by John Green, at most I think I've read a short story and I don't feel like I want to read any of this books because too much hype?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a contemporary reader either so it doesn't really appeal. TFIOS was fine but I'm not looking to read any more.
DeleteNikolai. Yes.
ReplyDeleteOh yes ;)
