"'Oh, I guarantee I'm dying to know whatever ludicrous explanation you have for your ghastly hospitality.' she told him. 'I grew up in a house full of dead people, and it was less hostile than this. Were you all raised by the animals in your portraits? Do you have rabies? Or should I be concerned about the water?'" p 42

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 



This week's topic is: My Top Ten Unpopular Bookish Opinions 




*in no particular order



10. I DIDN'T LIKE TWILIGHT--I read this more out of morbid curiosity and was at a time when the TBR pile wasn't really built up yet. And I was just meh over it. I didn't get the appeal.
9. I LIKED ALLEIGANT--I know a lot of people hated this book but I actually liked it. I didn't love the ending, but did think it was somewhat fitting after everything.
8. I DON'T CARE FOR CLASSICS--you'd think as an English major I would love these. I don't really. Unless you count the OG fairy tales!
7. ROMANTASY IS NOT NEW--this one really aggravates me. I feel like everyone is thinking this is a hot new genre. It's not. Just no.
6. I DON'T CARE FOR EBOOKS--yes, I know many people love them for their portability and how you can have as many was you want and have physical space everywhere but just the way they read I don't care for it. I do it when it's absolutely necessary but it's never a first choice.
5. I USE BOOKMARKS AS BOOKMARKS--I know some people will dog ear or grab whatever is handy for a bookmark, but I just can't! I need an actual bookmark for my bookmarking purposes.
4. POPULAR BOOKS SCARE ME...SOMETIMES--sometimes if a book gets too popular I am hesitant to read it.
3. I DIDN'T LIKE THRONE OF GLASS--I tried reading it, but I just couldn't get into it.
2. I LIKE MEDIUM SIZED BOOKS & I CANNOT LIE--yes, big books are nice and all but I like a good medium sized book, over 200 pages but under 450 would be nice.
1. I THINK PUBLISHERS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO CANCEL A SERIES AT THE LAST BOOK--not sure if it's an unpopular opinion, but yeah, I really tire of series being cancelled at the final book because of low sales. There should be a law banning this. Lol.
