I was so happy when I was tagged by Lexie to complete this tag. I always love reading these types of blog posts and booktube videos. I don’t know what it is about these types of posts that I love, but I think it might be because from time to time someone else has the same unpopular opinions as I do and I finally feel like I am not the only one who feels that way.
Anyway, I was ecstatic to be tagged and I hope you enjoy reading my unpopular opinions!
-Tag Questions-
- A popular book or series that you didn’t like
- The Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. I tried reading this series, I read about half of the first book and I did not like it at all. I found it annoying. I am happy to say I read and LOVED her most recent book, A Very Large Expanse of Sea.
- A Popular Book or series that every one else seems to hate but you love.
- I will openly admit I loved the Twilight Series and I am not ashamed of it. I devoured those books, reading one a day. Would I feel the same now? Who knows, but I absolutely loved it.
- A Love Triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with OR an OTP that you don’t like.
- The book series that stands out to me the most is To All the Boys I’v Loved Before by Jenny Han. I was soooooo mad and after the 2nd book I refused to continue with it. At least I think it was the 2nd one.
- A popular book Genre that you hardly reach for.
- I am not really interested in science fiction, I feel like everyone loves science fiction and fantasy. While I can get into fantasy, science fiction is a lot harder for me.
- A popular or beloved character that you do not like
- Hum, this one is really hard for me to figure out. I don’t think there is a character I flat out dislike, but I do have a problem with Albus Dumbledore because I feel like he was really manipulative.
- A popular author that you can’t seem to get into
- This is a hard one, I think if I had to name one I would pick VE Schwab. I just don’t really get excited by the descriptions of her books so I never picked up her books.
- A popular book trope that you’re tired of seeing
- I am really tired of seeing girl in a bad situation and all of a sudden has everything and is super powerful out of luck and never saw it coming. I find it really annoying and if someone is going to become powerful it will be through hard work, not random or an ability randomly found out decade(s) into your life.
- A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
- The Red Queen Series by Victoria Aveyard, I tried reading it on an airplane ride when it first came out when everyone was all over it. I gave up after 35 pages or so. I was so bored the rest of the flight.
- 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’m with you on The Red Queen!

I agree with you on V.E. Schwab apart from I actually thought her books sounded fun (mostly because I’m a sucker for fantasy). But I was super disappointed with A Darker Shade of Magic.

Woohoo, glad I am not the only one who feels that way. I am a picky fantasy reader so I guess I am less likely to give them a chance if I am on the fence I think.

I loved twilight when I read it too 😀 And while I realize now there are issues with it, and its fun to hate on it, it will always hold a special place in my heart!

I do remember liking the original Death Note films quite a lot. I haven’t finished the manga yet, but I found the films really well shot. I absolutely refuse to watch the Netflix adaptation because it was such a ridiculous bastardization of the original material. @_@

I saw a little snippet and I decided not to even bother lol. I hope you enjoy how the manga ends. I was in disbelief.

I think Willem Dafoe was the best decision about it and that was it.
Thanks! I hope so too.

I loved reading your unpopular opinions – I completely agree with you there regarding Twilight and To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. John Ambrose for the win! x

That is interesting you say that Albus Dumbledore is manipulative. I can certainly see where you are coming from. I noticed it too. My unpopular opinion re HP concerns Dumbledore turning out to be gay. I have no problem with it per se but I really thought and truly believed that Dumbledore and McGonagall had some secret romantic relationship. That much was hinted in the very first chapter of the very first book, with Dumbledore blushing when McGonagall complemented him. Dumbledore enjoys female companionship.
