Popular Books I Don't Like Part 1

😬 Time to ruffle some feathers! This is a new series where I just briefly talk about some random books I didn't like. Let's see if you can relate. Note: These are not books I've read this year. This is just a list of some  books I've read in my life so far that I didn't like or even despised (so 2 star and 1 star books). I also read all of them in their entirety, so no DNFs on here, either. This will be the case for all the books in this series of posts. 1. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. 1 star. Summary from Goodreads here . I found this book to be chock-full of pure mean-spirited, misogynistic, ableist garbage!  2. 1984 by George Orwell. 1 star. Summary from Goodreads here . Same reasoning as Brave New World.  3. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. 1 star.  S ummary from Goodreads here . Same reasoning as Brave New World and 1984.  4. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 2 stars. Summary from Goodreads here . The book's premise seemed interesting but th...

Unpopular Opinions Book Tag!

Image
Yes, that's right! We are going to do the most famous tag in the book community. I am planning on doing this tag every year as I read more books and my opinions change.  This tag was originally made by TheBookArcher on Booktube. Her original video is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYfgq8HgDc0&ab_channel=TheBookArcher 1. A Popular Book or series that you didn't like. Ooooh I have waaaaay too many answers for this one. I rarely gravitate towards popular books. But for this one I'm gonna have to say...are you ready for this one? Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Am I cancelled yet? So many people I know, even outside of the book community, ADORES this book, but this was honestly--and I don't usually like using this word because everyone has different tastes--but this book was overrated. I found it so boring! I'm surprised I even finished it. I guess I only finished it to see what all the hype was about, but I don't get the hype at all. It's just a...
