Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic hosted by The Broke and the Bookish is Top Ten Hyped Books I haven't read yet. Recommend books you think I should read nowwwwwww
- I haven't read these books because I already knew the ending ( Thanks to spoilers and movies)
I read the first book of The Hunger Games Trilogy, it was a pretty slow read for me but I'm pretty sure it's because I watched the movie first. I didn't read the second and third book because I know what was going to happen and this is because of all the people in my life who freaking spoils. Don't spoil a book/movie for anyone. I read the Scorch Trials (second book of the Maze Runner) way before the movie and liked it, at that time I didn't know that The Scorch Trials had anything to DO with the Maze Runner. You don't really have to read the first book if you've read the second AND I watched the movie. Divergent, watched the movie and it was eh, people around me said the second book was meh and the last book was boring.
All of these books I've watched the movies. The Help, I love the movie. The Book Thief, I watched the movie twice, such a sad ending... no the ending was happy, such a sad almost ending. second glance,The Fault in Our Stars, the movie was great but if it wasn't as hyped up as it is i wouldn't have even given it a second glance.
- These Books Didn't Really Spark my Interest
Fill in Boyfriend looks too cliche and I heard Red Queen was like the Hunger Games and I'm pretty sure we had enough of those books.
- I didn't quite like the first book
Anna and the French Kiss was soo cliche for me, I can't even.
I enjoyed Red Queen. But a lot of people hated it. Perhaps if you are feeling 'eh' about it, library it? That way you aren't out any money if you don't like it.
ReplyDeletegood idea :) I'll library it soon
DeleteI haven't read the second two in the Hunger Games trilogy yet (tbr list that's bigger than me to blame for that) but I really recommend The Book Thief - it's beautiful and written in a really original way.
ReplyDeleteHehe, isn't everyone's tbr list intimidating? Maybe I should give it a go!
DeleteYou should - I love that book! Maybe have the tissues to hand though - there may be tears
DeleteI thought the Red Queen could've been so much better, I'm hoping Glass Sword will be more entertaining. Oh, Hello! I'm also a new follower via bloglovin' please check out my blog and follow back :D

yeaa I guess lots of people was just expecting soo much from Red Queen that when it came out it was a disapointment, thank you!
DeleteI love The Help. I think the perspective of the 'coloured' maids in Missisippi is so interesting, but I also love that the author gives Skeeter's perspective as well. It really balances it out. <3
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief is so so much better than the movie! You should read it!
