Unpopular Opinions Book Tag

Hey guys!

So I’ve been seeing the Unpopular Opinions Book Tag all around Booktube and it seemed like a really fun tag so I decided to do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can check out the original tag video here.  

Note: Please don’t hate me if I bash any of your favorite books or characters ^-^

1. A popular book or series that you didn’t like:

The Fault in Our Stars– I remember reading this when I was 13 and just not getting what the hype was about. I’m not saying I hated the book, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as i would have liked. I didn’t even shed a tear during the entirety of it and I’m a major book cryer.

2. A popular book or series that every one else seems to hate but you love:

The Selection Series– I know this series is dumb. I know the main character is the most insufferable character to exist. I know the love triangle is laughable. I know the whole selection process is a complete joke. But these books are so much fun. They are so entertaining and fast-paced and I really like them.

(not counting the 4th book because even I can’t handle that one)

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:

Josh and Isla from Isla and the Happily Ever After– I didn’t like this book and I didn’t like Josh and Isla together at all. It just felt as though Stephanie Perkins found the only 2 single people and mashed them up together. I was not a fan, sadly.

4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for:

Thriller, Mystery and Crime– Those genres are just not my type of thing.

5. A popular or beloved character that you do not like:

Chaol from Throne of Glass– I really liked him in the first book, but my opinion of him changed during the 2nd and 3rd book of the series. I know a lot of people love Chaol, but I just find him very bland, indecisive and annoying. (please don’t kill me :’D)

6. A popular author that you can’t seem to get into:

Scott Westerfeld– I read Uglies by him and found the book to be very dry and uninteresting. I also tried reading Afterworlds and couldn’t get into it. I guess I just don’t like his writing style.

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

The chosen one, love triangles, good girl likes bad boy, 2 oh so quirky teenagers are so different from all other teenagers and speak with a vocabulary of 80 year olds– to name a few. I could go on and on and on and on and on…you get my point.

8. A popular series that you have no interest in reading:

The 5th Wave– Everyone loves this sci-fi novel so much, but I honestly have no intention of ever reading it. Plus I heard the sequel isn’t that great, soooo…

•

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?

Coraline– I actually really liked this book, but the movie is so much better in my opinion. I have seen the movie at least 20 times and I am in no way joking.

That’s the end! I really do hope you’re not in the middle of making a voodoo doll of me because I bashed one of your favorite books or characters.

Tell me if agree with any of my unpopular opinions or just let me know one popular book you didn’t like 😀

Hope you all had a lovely day and I’ll see you in my next post,
