Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic is top ten book published in 2014 that we meant to read but didn't get to. I feel like we just did this topic so I decided to do the books that everyone loves but I don't. I think a lot of book are over-hyped and even though I give them their fair chance, I don't always love them like everyone else. So here are a few of them:
1. The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
2. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
3. Panic by Lauren Oliver
4. Landline by Rainbow Rowell
5. Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd
6. Blood Red Road by Moira Young
7. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
8. These Broken Stars by Amy Kaufman Megan Spooner
9. The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings
10. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
I don't mean to step on anyone's toes with these books but I can't like what I don't like and we all have our own opinions and prefrences. Do you sometimes feel this way with over-hyped books but feel afraid to say so? I sometimes feel afraid to say anything but it's important to speak up. Like I said, we're all entitled to our own opinions!
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was a DNF for me. I was disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteJust finished Panic and felt the same, The only one on your list I really enjoyed was the 5th Wave but it definitely appeals to those who like, sci-fi. Check out my Top Ten Tuesday
ReplyDeleteUgh Mr Penumbra...and Bernadette, too.
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Coldest Girl in Coldtown but OH MY GOODNESS I HATED PANIC. It was just so cheesy and stupid. I really want to read something else by Lauren Oliver though to see what they are like. I know a lot of people really rate her work and I just couldn't find anything to like about Panic.
ReplyDeleteI also did not like The Murder Complex at all!
