Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Unpopular Bookish Opinions

This week's TTT I'm letting you in on a few secrets. Unpopular bookish opinions to be exact. But shhhhh you can't tell anyone what I really think on a few of these books... it will be our little secret. You, me, and the entire interwebs...

1. I thought The Cruel Prince was overrated and I only bought The Wicked King because I heard it was better than TCP.

2. I love Sarah J. Maas's books, but I DNF'd A Court of Wings and Ruin. I thought it was boring compared to ACOMAF and could have been wayyyyy shorter.

3. I actually really love "love triangles" in books

4. The Keira Knightley adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. While I think Colin Firth is lacking just enough in personality to play Mr. Darcy, I just can't get behind him as a love interest. *gags*

5.I thought the adaptation of To All the Boys I Loved Before was really cheesy and I don't understand the hype over the movie/books. 

6. I love Erin Watt's Royals Series and I disagree that it promotes toxic teen relationships.

7. I liked Twilight as a teenager. And yes, I was team Edward. *shrugs* There. I said it.

8. I read all the Harry Potter books but they'll never be my favorite books/series. 

9. I find people who think certain fantasy books are insensitive are idiots. They're fantasy... they're not meant to represent any true culture even if they take basic influences from them. Furthermore, books should never be burned just because you don't like them.

10. Escaping from Houdini is my least favorite book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series so far.

 What are some of your unpopular bookish opinions? Are any as big of doozies as mine?
Let me know in the comments or drop me a link to your TTT!

Happy Reading Bookdragons!

#BookTag Saturday: The Unpopular Opinion Tag

This week I'm tackling the Unpopular Opinion Book Tag and revealing a few bookish truths that might shock and horrify you...

1. A Popular Book or series that you didn't like.

The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater - I felt like I needed a prequel to figure this book out. I DNF'd it because the little that I read of it I didn't like and didn't understand what was going on. 

2. A Popular Book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love.

RoseBlood by A.G. Howard - I don't know how many people actually hate this book, I know quite a few that like it, but I've heard a lot of people complain that it's a slow read so they DNF it.

3. 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.

Luce and Daniel from Fallen - am I the only one that wanted Luce to end up with Cam? I know Cam finds love in Unforgiven, but still...

4. A popular book Genre that you hardly reach for.

Dystopian - Way too depressing because it reminds me of where we could be headed as a society.

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

Scarlett Dragna from Caraval

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

Kendare Blake - I just couldn't get into Three Dark Crowns, but I haven't really read anything else by her.

7. A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing. (examples "lost princess", corrupt ruler, love triangles, etc.)

Faeries, everything is faeries right now. Faeries and High Fae are becoming what Vampires were ten years ago. Not every book lives up to the ACOTAR series.

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

The Hunger Games.

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?

Under the Dome, Beautiful Creatures, The Great Gatsby

So have I completely shocked and horrified you yet?
