The Unpopular Opinions Book Tag

I saw the Unpopular Opinion Tag on YouTube and thought it seemed like fun. It was created by The Book Archer and you can view it here. So let's get started

 1. A Popular Book or series that you didn't like- Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews

 Me and Earl and the Dying GirlAlthough I did enjoy this book, it didn't live up to the hype that surrounded it. Everyone said that this was the best book they had ever read and I just didn't feel like this. It just wasn't the best book ever. think I will prefer the film more than the movie as it has an indie feel which I know I will like. 







2. A Popular Book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love-Matched by Ally Condie and The Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater

 Matched (Matched, #1)I really enjoy the Matched series and everyone seems to hate Crossed which I seemed to love, however, if I read it now I don't know how far I would agree...








Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)The Wolves of Mercy Falls series was one of the first YA series that I read so it holds a special place in my heart. I really enjoy this series and everyone seems to champion the Raven Boys which is a series I enjoyed, but again didn't live up to the hype.





3. A Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with OR an OTP that you don't like- Wessa or Jessa

 Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3)I preferred Jem to Will so I wanted Jem to be with Tessa but I guess that both get want they wanted...








4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for-Classics

 Pride and PrejudiceI just don't like reading classics but I am trying to read more this year and hope to get into Jane Austen this year.









5. A popular or beloved character that you do not like-Gale Hawthorne by The Hunger Games 

 The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)I don't know if he is really beloved but I am sure people like him however I find his whinny and just an irrelevant character. 








6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into- J.R.R Tolkien 

 The Hobbit (Middle-Earth Universe)I read the Hobbit last year and it was just not my favourite book. It took me ages to read and I just didn't really like it. I also read 100 pages of The Fellowship of the Ring and didn't like it, however, I do want to read it so I am going to try a reread next month.
 




7. A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing. 

 Delirium (Delirium, #1)I am tired of the gorgeous girl who finds herself unattractive but a boy finds her really attractive trope. I think that it is bad for a girl's self-confidence. It makes the reader who is mainly girls feel bad about themselves when no girl all the time has hate for their body. I don't like how it is done in Delirium as Lena herself has two guys after her but still thinks she is unattractive.

8. A popular series that you have no interest in reading- 50 Shades of Grey by E.L James

 Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)I really don't want to read the book. It is erotica and that's just not something that I really want to read ever. Just NO.







9. The saying goes "The book is always better than the movie", but what movie or T.V. show adaptation do you prefer more than the book?
The DUFF as I thought the film was done well in the fact that they used social media and it was a well done high school film, this is also one of those where the book just didn't live up to the hype. 
 The Spectacular Now, I didn't like the ending to the book and they changed the ending which made it really good. It also had an indie feel which I liked.
Do you have any unpopular book opinions? If so, leave them in the comments below. 

 See you soon,

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

Even though I did actually have a plan of a book to read for almost all of the prompts, I did just wing it for the latter half of the year. This was because I was just reading what I wanted to and because I was not really reading at all.  So let's see what I read this year... A book that’s published in 2021    Book I Want To Read: Gut Feelings by C. G. Moore Book I Actually Read: Gut Feelings by C.G. Moore An Afrofuturist book Book I Want To Read: The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin  Book I Actually Read:  The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin A book that has a heart, diamond, club, or spade on the cover  Book I Want To Read: Heartbreak Boys by Simon James Green Book I Actually Read: Ace of Spades by Faridah À...
