I came across the Hop and Follow Friday while I was blog hopping - how appropriate! - and decided to join in on the fun.
The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly thing going on over at Crazy-for-Books. Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee. If you're a new blogger, like I am, or have been blogging for a while, stop by the sites and get involved!
--------------------------------------------
Weekly question: What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?
Well, this is very fitting. I just published my Hunger Games post below. Yes, I did not enjoy
The Hunger Games. However, it was not a review. I feel fine with having posted it. I genuinely, really did not enjoy reading it, and I'm entitled to say so.
----------------------------------------------
Hopping through! Have a great weekend.

I have the Hunger Games trilogy on my to be read shelf. My husband just finished reading through them. I'm not expecting to love them but I am still curious to read them.
ReplyDeleteMy tastes are so eclectic I'm not usually reading popular fiction while it's still popular. You can my full answer here. Happy Blog Hop.
I enjoyed the first Hunger Games book but the second two failed to live up. Sometimes though, hype will turn me off of wanting to read a book. But I figure there are enough people reading those books anyway and I can stick to more obscure titles :)
ReplyDeleteNow following your blog,

ReplyDeleteI haven't tried out Hunger Games, I just don't I'd enjoy it either. I agree, you didn't enjoy it, you shouldn't feel bad about saying so!

Hopping by! Wow! I loved The Hunger Games. I'm interested in seeing what you didn't care for. But hey, we all have different tastes and likes. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read the series yet, but I do have them on my wish list - it's always good to hear others' opinions! Have you ever tried a book you did not hear good things about and been pleasantly surprised?

Cooking, gaming, gambling, drinking, smoking, golfing and sometimes even
watching TV.
