Today I thought it would be fun to do another book tag. Tags are a fun way to really think about things. From the way, I read my favourite and least favourite books. So today I thought I would do the unpopular opinions book tag. 

The Unpopular Opinions Book Tag was created by The Book Archer, you can check out the original video now. Now let’s get into it. 

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

I did a whole post about this recently. But one of the series that I don’t have on this list. It’s Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. I liked the first book, I enjoyed it quite a bit. But then it all went downhill for me. I’ve spoken about this before but quickly. I just don’t like what Maas does with her characters. I wanted to love her stuff, but I just can’t. 

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

I have no idea how to answer this one. I’ve been thinking about it for the last two days and can’t think of anything. I don’t think there is anything that I love that everyone hates. 

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.

I’m an OTP kind of girl most of the time. But there is a bunch of romance couples that I couldn’t see connect the way I would have liked them too. Recently I tried reading the first two books in Lauren Rowe’s Morgan Brothers series and didn’t love the couples in both. In Hero, the OTP was decent. I didn’t have a massive problem with it. But I really didn’t like the couple in Captain. 

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

Science-Fiction. I’ve spoken about this a few times, but I really struggle reading sci-fi. I don’t know what it is because I love watching shows and films that are science fiction. But reading it has a different vibe for me. I’ve read a few books that are both YA and Adult sci-fi. And some I’ve loved and some I haven’t. It’s kind of a mix bad. But I really have to be in the mood for me. I have to be in the right headspace to read and take it all in. 

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

I think this one has to go to Lissa from Vampire Academy. I love this series, but I just couldn’t love Lissa. I didn’t think she was a great friend to Rose and even a great person at times. Later on, in the series, I grew to like her more. But it did take me a while. I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion per se, but I do see more people liking her more than I do. 

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

I’ve tried reading a few books from Becky Albertalli, but I cannot get into them. I’m not entirely sure what it is. I’ve tried reading Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda twice now and wasn’t able to get into it at all. But I adore the movie, I’ve watched it countless times. I’ve also tried to pick up The Upside of Unrequited and could not connect with it either.  

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

Love Triangle. It’s something that I have always disliked and I really wish that more YA didn’t have it. I just don’t get the appeal. I hate the unnecessary tension that it creates. There have only been two books where a love triangle has worked for me, and they are both from the same author. The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare. And it’s worked because in reality it wasn’t really a love triangle and it all worked out in the end.

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

This has to the Mara Dyer series by Michelle Hodkin. I never really had an interest when it first came out. While this isn’t as popular now when all I was reading YA, this was one of the most popular series and I just had no interest. I think I might have liked it if I picked it up when it first came out, but I don’t think I will now. 

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?

I don’t think I prefer the movie to the book, but I think that the Catching Fire movie is hands down one of the best book to movie adaptations ever! And sometimes I do prefer it to the book. It just depends on what mood I’m in. The whole movie series is seriously some of the best book to movie adaptions that I have seen. I love them and don’t have much to say in terms of criticism. 

And that is it for this post! What are some of your unpopular opinions? What is a book that everyone loves, but you hate? Do we share any of the same answers? Let’s talk about our unpopular opinions!
