Top Ten Books I Thought I'd Like MORE/LESS Than I Did

This was a pretty easy question this week. The first five are ones I thought I would like and ended up being dissopointed with them. And the last five are ones I thought I wouldn't like and ended up loving.


1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I just reviewed this book and I really did like this book, but it wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be.


2. Touch of Death by Kelley Hashway.

This was one of my most books for 2013 and it fell flat in everyway. 


3. The Nightmare Affair

This was another one that I thought was going to be amazing, but it wasn't. It was still good, but not really good.


4. The Assassin's curse

Ditto to The Nightmare Affair 


5. Nevermore Kelly Creagh  

This was a DNF for me, I thought I was going to love it, because its based on one of Edger Allen Poe's poem. And I love all of his works. It just wasn't good for me. 



6. Obsidian By Jennifer L. Armentrout
This was the second book I read from her and before this one I didn't have much faith in her, because its about alians. I thought that no one could make a good book about alains, I was so wrong. I love this book and this whole series!

7. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

I picked this one up randomly from the shelf and read it, I loved it!!



8. Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles.
I don't really like contemporaries, there just not my thing. So, I didn't think I would like iit, but I ended up loving it!

9. The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
I started this one and stopped, because it wasn't very fast. I started it again and didn't have any hope that it would be good, but again it was such a good book!!!


10. The Scarlet Pimpernel by Emmuska Orczy 
I read this for school and all of previous books I read for school where awful  So, I thought this one would also be awful. I was pleasantly surprised that it was good.


Those are my picks. what were yours?
Happy reading.
