I love doing book tags, and when I saw this one, I knew I had to do it. The book sacrifice tag was created by Ariel Basset, quite a few years ago. The way this works is; we are given a scenario where we will need to sacrifice a book. Let’s get right into it. 

An Over-Hyped Book

Situation: You’re in a store when the zombie apocalypse hits. The military informs everyone that over-hyped books are the zombies’ only weakness. What book that everyone else says is amazing but you disliked do you start chucking at the zombies?

I honestly don’t know why this book has the love that it has. The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance by Ashley Jade, was not for me. I disliked it so much. I gave it 2 stars but honestly, I don’t even think I should have even given it that. The relationship in this book is so toxic my gosh. I should have dnf’d it, but I was reading it for a post here. 

This book gets a lot of love and it’s sitting at a 4.42 rating on GoodReads, which I find very interesting. 

 

A Sequel 

Situation: torrential downpour. What sequel are you willing to use as an umbrella to protect yourself?

I am bringing it back a few years here, but Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth and even Alliegent honestly was not the vibe. There was so much potential for this series and it all just fell flat. Maybe because I like happy endings and I feel I was so cheated here. 

Also thinking about it now, I wasn’t a massive fan of the writing or the characters. I think I just read it because it was popular and thought I liked it. 

 

A Classic 

Situation: You’re in English class and your professor raves about a Classic that “transcends time”. If given the opportunity to travel back in time, which classic would you try to stop from ever publishing?

Ahh, this is such a hard question because a lot of classics have really changed not only the publishing and book world but also everything else. However, if I did have to sacrifice one it would be. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Now, now. I don’t think this should have never been published. But it is my least favourite classic that I have read. It’s honestly just not for me. 

What classic would be on your list? 

 

A Least Favourite Book 

Situation: apparently global warming = suddenly frozen wasteland. Your only hope of survival for warmth is to burn a book. Which book will you not regret lighting?

I do want to start this by saying this isn’t the worst book I’ve ever read, but it’s a recent book that I picked up and regret reading. Failure to Thrive by Elle Rivers. There was so much going on in this book I don’t even know where to start. Her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend, her sister gets her a job nannying for her boss. The boss and love interest start dating someone else. Then I don’t know what happens yet. Everything. 

I think this book would have been so much better if everything wasn’t just thrown into it. I was so confused about what was happening half the time. And again I should have stopped reading, but I suck at doing that. 

Well, there we go. That is the book sacrifice tag. I had a lot of fun doing this short and quick tag. What do you think of my picks? What books would you pick to sacrifice? Let’s Chat!
