This was a tag made a few months ago, I'm just doing it because why not......
A popular book or series that you didn't like
THE MARA DYER TRILOGY. I have to caps this because I just DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HYPE AROUND NOAH SHAW AT ALL. He's just a creepy weirdo and I just don't get the romance between him and Mara Dyer.
A popular book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love
We Were Liars. Yes, I love this. And yes, many people say they don't like it at all, they saw that coming, blah blah blah whatever, I love it.
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
I didn't really like Day and June from the Legend series being together. I much prefer Day and Tess, considering how they've been there for each other way before he met June. And also, I dislike romances that I just don't get at all.
A popular book genre that you hardly reach for
Fantasy. It just isn't my thing. I can read ten contemporary novels straight in like 20 days, and still fall into a really bad reading slump if I touch a fantasy. Sorry to say.
A popular or beloved character that you do not like
Uh...... Noah freaking Shaw.
A popular author that you can't seem to get into
I'm not very picky about authors... I usually see more into the genre than the author, if that makes sense.
A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing (examples "lost princess", corrupt ruler, love triangles, etc)
I hate seeing "The next Gone Girl" or "The next Hunger Games" on books because most of the time they're not similar at all.
A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
Don't hate me for this, but........ Harry Potter. I have good reasons: they're best read while growing up; it's fantasy, which is a genre I don't usually enjoy; the fandom always shamelessly puts spoilers up everywhere on social media, which just kills the desire of reading it.
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 have a few answers to this: The Giver, If I Stay, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. But that's because I read the books after I watched the movies. It's better to watch the movie first and enjoy it as it is, and then pick up the book and love it even more, instead of loving the book wholeheartedly and then being disappointed by and hating the movie despite all the effort put into making it.
No pictures for today because I am tired, as usual :) I haven't bought a single book this month, and I think that's a good thing!
