Unpopular Opinions Book Tag 2024 Edition

  I also do this tag every year in September! If you choose to do this tag, I hope to see your answers. 1.  A popular book or series you didn't like.  As always, I have too many answers for this one. I guess I'll have to go with one I read this year that was pretty disappointing: Josee, The Tiger, and The Fish by Seiko Tanabe. 2.  A book/series a lot of people don't like, but you liked.  I think these two books are more divided than widely disliked. They are The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I really liked those two books, especially A Little Princess! 3.  A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person didn’t want them to end up with/an OTP that you don’t like. I will try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but let's just say I do not like who Xingyin (the MC) ends up with in Heart of the Sun Warrior (the sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess ) by Sue Lynn Tan. Very disappointing ...

A Little Princess Review

Image
(Pic was found on Google Images) This is the second book I have read (well, this one for today I listened to on audiobook) from this author.

She has just come back from India and will attend a boarding school for girls in London. Sara is a sweet girl with a huge imagination, and everyone in the school has taken a liking to her. Especially a girl named Ermengarde and another girl named Lottie. Well, almost everyone likes Sara. Miss Minchin, who is the headmistress, a two mean girls named Jessie and Lavinia, can't stand her. One day, Sara receives news that her father made a bad investment, and he lost all of the family's money. Shortly afterward, her father dies of an illness. Miss Minchin decides to downgrade Sara ...
