Hi babes! I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend. I’ve seen this tag a lot for a while now, and I’ve always wanted to do it, in fact, I thought I already did this tag but checking in my blog I noticed that I don’t !, so I think it’s a very good opportunity to do it once and for all, I hope you enjoy it guys!
You can find the video of the original tag HERE, in case you want to check it out
A Popular Book or series that you didn’t like
Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1)by Susan Dennard
This probably is not a surprise for the majority of you, since a few days ago I uploaded my review about it, so yeah , it wasn’t what I was hoping for, it’s a confusing book that could have been fantastic but didn’t meet my expectations
A Popular Book or series that every one else seems to hate but you love
Eve (Eve #1) by Anna Carey
I don’t know if there are many people who hate this trilogy but I know it is not well known as it should be, this is one of my favorite trilogies and I think it’s a great dystopia book about survival and have alot of action, I love these books and I think they deserve a greater recognition
A Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with (warn ppl for spoilers) OR an OTP that you don’t like
Shadow and Bone (Shadow and Bone #1)by Leigh Bardugo
I love these books so much and I love Alina, but I can’t stand Mal so I’m not a big fan of the couple
A popular book Genre that you hardly reach for
Maybe I choose Classics or Historical Fiction, although I’m trying to get more into the genres, I think they are the ones that I least like and with what I find most hard to compromise me when it comes to reading them
A popular or beloved character that you do not like
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Probably there are other characters out there that I can’t stand but right now only Eleanor comes to my mind and I feel like she’s a character so irritating, I really don’t like her and another great unpopular opinion is that I don’t like this book like at all, and I suppose Eleanor Is the main reason, her personality have simply made of her a character that I don’t want to read about again
A popular author that you can’t seem to get into
Well this has to do with the previous one because the writer I’ve tried several times and it seems not to be for me is Rainbow Rowell, I didn’t like Eleanor & Park and I didn’t like Fangirl, I really try but I can’t get into her writing style and I end up getting very bored, also it seems to me that her books have many pages and nothing ever happens, it’s simply not for me, at least I try
A popular book trope that you’re tired of seeing. (examples “lost princess”, corrupt ruler, love triangles, etc.)
I had to think a lot about this because I don’t know if there is something that really annoys me, maybe the love triangles or the main character who is beautiful, but doesn’t know it lol. Even if the book is incredible none of that really bothers me
A popular series that you have no interest in reading
A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1)by George R.R. Martin
I love the TV series, in fact it’s one of my favorites but I’m not interested in reading the books and they’re quite intimidating so I’ll might never do it
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?
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
I totally prefer the movie to the book, I saw it a short time ago and enjoyed it a lot but I didn’t like the book unfortunately
So far I have only listened to Rainbow Rowell’s books! I have a copy of Fangirl that I want to read soon, but I am terrified there are going to be so many pages where nothing happens!

OMG someone’s read Eve in the world?? I read it 4 years ago but I remember enjoying it. It wasn’t the best trilogy out there but it was still super interesting to see the dystopian world. I think my only problem was that I couldn’t stand Eve or something 😅.
Yeaaah I hate Mal too! I really really really reallly wanted Alina to end up with the Darkling 😭! Even Nikolai would’ve been a better choice!
I’m not a huge fan of Rainbow Rowell either, her only nice book was Carry On.
Great post 😁.

I knew of Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver but I had no interest in reading it, I mean at all. However the moment I saw the trailer for the movie I immediately knew I was going to see the movie. I’ve seen the movie and really enjoyed it but I still have no plans on reading the book.

Nice unpopular opinion choices. The only Rainbow Rowell I’ve read is Fangirl, and I liked it but I don’t have a burning desire to read any of her other books. And that’s fine; we don’t all have to like the same books.
And after I first saw the trailer for Before I Fall, I picked up a copy of the book and read it. I did enjoy it, and I’m mad that I still haven’t seen the movie. I really wanted to see it back when it was in theaters but didn’t make it out there. Oh well. I’ll find the time to see it eventually.

I enjoyed Truthwitch but I completely understand what you’re saying, so confusing! And I hated Eleanor so much, so I can’t understand why people love the book so much!

You are definitely not alone on “Truthwitch” it wasn’t terrible but it didn’t meet my expectations either (will have to go read your review now!)
I’m also not really big on classics or historical fiction, I think my problem with historical fiction is that I don’t read much contemporary and a lot of historical fiction is the same but just set in a different time period, haha!

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed reading it. I completely agree with you, I think if you don’t read contemporary, historical fiction maybe it’s harder to commit to it. I used to not read contemporary at all, in fact I love fantasy, but today I think I’m much more comfortable with the genre so I should try again some historical and see if it works !. I hope you have a beautiful day ❤

It’s interesting that you think that! In my opinion the movie was just okay and I felt like it was almost boring translated into a movie. Having said that, I read the book in around 7th or 8th grade I believe and I’m 21 now so I don’t really remember the details of the book, I just remember really liking it.

I totally agree with Game of Thrones! I attempted the first one and it was intimidating and I enjoy the TV series so much I thought ‘What’s the point?’ I don’t usually watch anything until I’ve read the book and then rave about how much better the book was. GoT is definitely an exception!

This is a fun tag. I like it. Interview with the Vampire and How to Train Your Dragon are both better than the book in my opinion. Have you read Discovery of Witches? Fabulous. Worth the read. Historical, but not over the top like the Outlander Series.
