Books I Feel Differently About After Time Has Passed

Books I Feel Differently About After Time Has Passed

May 24, 2016 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 4 Comments

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s topic is Ten Books I Feel Differently About After Time Has Passed.

I found this weeks topic quite hard, it’s not often that I change my mind about how I think of a book. I normally always think the same, I don’t know why but it just happens. 

love now - differently

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling 

I know I talk about this series a lot and I am sorry, but I love it too much and I find that every time that I re-read it I love it even more. I am currently reading Philosopher Stone with my little sister and we are loving it. 

The Winners Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski

I loved the first two books The Winner’s Curse and The Winner’s Crime, and then I read the last book – this series has become one of my favourite – if not favourite fantasy series.

dislike now - differently

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Okay I used to love these books – like a lot. But after re-reading it a couple of years ago I needed a slap on the head. 

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas 

So I didn’t love the first one, but I liked it enough to buy all the books when Sarah came to Australia last year, however after reading reviews and all – I am not 100% I am going to continue with the series. 

So that is it for this week, I cannot think of any more at all. What are some of the books that you feel differently about in time? Let’s Chat.

    Yes to all of these, Angel. I think I end up loving Harry Potter more every time I reread it—there’s so much to take in that I always notice something new every time. Like you said in your comment, we’ve talked about the Sarah thing.

    Twilight is on my list, too. It made quite a few lists this week. I think the Twilight series sparked a love of books in many people, but then a lot of us realized what actually makes a good book haha! Great list!

    My TTT!

    I wasn’t full on obsessed with The Winner’s Curse when I first read it but I re-read all the books before TWK and I absolutely loved it more the second time around. And that last book was pure perfection!
    I doubt I’ll love the Twilight series if I read it now too. I realized how problematic the book was. And same with TOG. I have no interest in that series or that author anymore. I can’t deal with her romantic complications.

      My love for that trio is just crazy haha. YES! I cannot deal with it too. I think I have come to a decision that I won’t be reading any more of her books.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
