"One down," I said turning  around. "Who's Ne-?"
Thantos tossed Marcus to the ground, deflected Solo's attack, and turned on me in a nanosecond. It was pretty epic.

Q: Have you ever read a book that you thought you would hate -- ? Did you end up hating it? Did you end up loving it? Or would you never do that?


     I would never go into a book that I think I would hate, maybe not love, but never hate. Unless its required for school, like when I started reading the Scarlet Pimpernel I was afraid that it was going to be like Frankenstein, just boring and in the end I loved it. That's the closest I have ever been to starting a book thinking I would hate. I knew there is also times when I started reading a book where I didn't think I would love it, but there hasn't been I time, outside of school, where I start a book I think I am going to hate.


That's my answer, what's your's?
Happy reading.

  4. Thanks for stopping by my FF! I agree, my feelings are "why waste my time or money on a book I will most likely hate?"

  5. I don't usually read books I think I'll hate, but a couple of times I have been surprised by a book that I just read out of boredom(;

  6. Agree, life is too short to read a book I think I will hate. Thanks to Goodreads and book blogs, its fairly easy now to make well informed decisions before buying.

  10. I've never read The Scarlet Pimpernel! But I have read Frankenstein. Wasn't a fan of Frankenstein.

    As to why I didn't like City of Fallen Angels...

    I hated what she did to Jace. I hated that she had to extend the series at all. And frankly, it was boring. I can't even remember half of it.

  14. Same. I used to read all types of books no matter the vibe I got off of them, but now that I'm in high school with limited reading time, I have to pick and choose the ones I think I'll like.

  15. That's a great '56' quote! But then, that's Jennifer Armentrout!

    The most recent book I read that I thought I would hate was "The Demon Trapper's Daughter". I did kinda hate it at first. Then I ended up loving it!!

    Thanks for sharing!! :)

  17. Great answer Kimberly. Who has time to read books they think they're going to hate when there's so many others you know you're going to like?!
