Unpopular Opinions Book Tag

I saw this tag over at Fiction No Chaser and thought it looked like a lot of fun! And wow, am I scared to give out my answers! Lol! I also borrowed their image as it seems there wasn't an original one and I have zero tech skills in that area! Lol!!


A POPULAR BOOK OR SERIES THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE:

I tried you guys. I really really tried! This series was always getting so much love and when a friend gifted me a copy I thought I would give it a try. This one just didn't do it for me. I was bored to tears with it. And I know everyone told me, just read the second book, it gets better. Well, at that time my TBR pile was already growing pretty steadily and I just wasn't in the mood to give this one a second try. I wasn't feeling it whatsoever.


A POPULAR BOOK OR SERIES THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HATE BUT YOU LOVE:

I can't say that 13 to Life was one that everyone "hated," but perhaps it wasn't loved as much. People might have just been "meh" over it, while I LOVED it! I'm never ashamed to say how much I love a book no matter its popularity. And that's the way it should be with everyone and I feel like as a book community we do this rather well!


A LOVE TRIANGLE WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER ENDED UP WITH THE PERSON YOU DIDN'T WANT THEM TO END UP WITH OR AN OTP YOU DON'T LIKE:

My heart didn't take it well when Kitty ended up with Ben instead of Cormac. I fell for Cormac in the beginning, even when he was the "enemy." I knew he would turn into something more...and yet...it didn't take the direction I wanted it to. I still need to finish the series but I will admit, every book after this one was painful because my OTP didn't happen and then Cormac went away!!! But he did come back and I'm sooo close to finishing the series and his very own installment, so I need to get back to that!


A POPULAR BOOK GENRE YOU HARDLY EVER REACH FOR:

Contemporary. No matter the "age range" I cannot and will not pick up a contemporary novel.


A POPULAR OR BELOVED CHARACTER THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE:

I honestly can't think of any, I come back to Throne of Glass because the characters were among one of the things that prevented me from enjoying the story completely. So take your pick I guess.


A POPULAR AUTHOR THAT YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET INTO:

Try as I might I just could not get into Jodi Meadows' books. I wanted to, but they just didn't hold my interest much to my dismay.


A POPULAR BOOK TROPE YOU ARE TIRED OF SEEING:

Forever and always the insta-love


A COMMON SERIES THAT YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN READING:

For whatever reason I just can't get into Rachel's YA books. The Great Library is a series I wanted to like but just couldn't get into. I ended up DNFing this first one. Every time I see a book from the series pop up in the blogosphere it was well-liked. So I feel like an outcast once again!


THE SAYING GOES "THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE," BUT WHAT MOVIE OR TV SHOW ADAPTATION DO YOU PREFER MORE THAN THE BOOK:

I feel like the only movie that was better than the book (in my opinion) was Jaws! Granted, I had watched the movie about a thousand times before being deemed "old enough" to read the book. Once I did, I found I enjoyed the movie a lot more than the book itself.



As always if you feel like sharing your unpopular opinions, consider yourself tagged!!

  1. I love your answers here and it's great that we can feel confident to express our own likes or dislikes of books even when we they do seem to be completely different to every other blogger!

  2. This sounds like fun! And by the way, I agree with you about Throne Of Glass. I thought it - well, silly. A lot of it made no sense, the author has clearly not done anything physical or she would have known some of those things were impossible... It was not getting very good reviews when I first read it, but I had it for reviewing. It was not as bad as the other reviewers said, but not the kind of series I wanted to follow. I put it into my school library, where the girls loved it, so I ended up buying the rest of the series for them. I didn’t read it, though.
