Blog Hop and Follow Friday (16)







Follow Friday is a really fun way to network your blog and meet some other really cool bloggers in the process! This weekly event is hosted at Parajunkee's View.

Q: Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

A: I feel like this question is so mean but there are a horde of terrible book out there.  I would have to say that one of the worst books that I've read and finished all the way through was Revealers by Amanda Marrone.  I read it when I first started my blog and I felt like it wasn't supposed to give bad reviews so I gave it an okay review.  But I think if I would have read it now then I would give it a terrible review.

More recently, the worst audio book that I have listened to and completed was City of Bones by Cassandra Clare.  I just couldn't connect with the characters and most of the time I just wanted to slap Clary.

That's so funny, because I had a similar experience: the very first book I ever reviewed for my blog was Fallen by Lauren Kate and I gave it an "OK review." But now that I am reading all kinds of books and have more to compare the series to, I tend to rant about these books more-- oops! Maybe it's not very nice, but it can be fun to vent :) Also, I try to be fair and say SOMETHING that I liked about a book, even if it wasn't a favorite!

You can see my FF post for this week at the link below-- hope you have a GREAT weekend!!

I don't like giving less than glowing reviews, either, but sometimes I just don't like a book. And interesting about City of Bones. I thought it was ok, but she was a little over the top with detail for me. Oh well... different things for different people. :)
Happy Friday!

New follower from the Crazy for Books blog hop!

Even though I did enjoy City of Bones, I also don't think it's as good as it's hyped up to be. So I'm not surprised you felt that way about it.

I have trouble giving bad reviews on my blog. I try to find at least one thing redeeming about the book.

Hi! I'm a new follower. I feel bad dogging a book unless it is utterly repulsive, because I still respect the writer, the writing, etc.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Stopping by from Follow Friday. New follower.

Sometimes, when there's a lot of hype about a book it turns out to be disappointing!

Have a nice weekend.

I haven't heard of the Marrone book but I read something else she wrote and didn't like it at all (if I'm thinking of the correct author- it was called The Uninvited). I'll be sure to stay away from that book. Here's my hop:

happy reading!

Hopping through. People seem to either love or hate Cassandra Clare. I love her books but I also understand the hate.

I actually enjoyed the question this week. Sometimes we don't appreciate the good because we forget about the bad.
