Unpopular Opinions TAG

I was tagged by Brittany @ This is the Story of My Reading Life.

I've been seeing this TAG around for quite a while and I've been wanting to do it, and since Brittany tagged me, I can finally get around to it!

1. A popular book or series that you didn't like

Beautiful Disaster was one of the very first New Adult books I picked up and I absolutely hated it. Travis Maddox is one of the most possessive characters I've ever read about. Abby couldn't do anything without him flying off the rails and she hardly ever stood up for herself. A weak female character and a male character that made me rage. I didn't get the appeal at all.

Real is another New Adult book that I completely despised. I got about 40% into this one before I decided to get a refund from Amazon because it was completely ridiculous. The sex descriptions made me want to throw up sometimes because they were that disgusting. I didn't like any of the characters either. It was a terrible book.

2. A popular book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love

I had to use Goodreads for this one (lowest avg rating vs my rating). Landline only has an average rating of 3.56 and I gave it a 5. I adored Landline and it's quite possibly my favourite of Rowell's books.

3. 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

I literally cannot think of another love triangle that I didn't like the end of. I was a die hard Jacob fan when I read the Twilight series back in high school. I hated Edward and I always wanted Bella to end up with Jacob.

4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for

Crime. I'm not a huge crime reader. I've read a few YA Crime/Thrillers, but I haven't read many.

5. A popular or beloved character that you do not like

There's a lot of love for Gale out there, but personally, I really don't like his character. I remember rolling my eyes and making faces every time I had to read about him. My dislike of his character has only gotten worse with the movies.

6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into

Michael Grant is a very popular author, but I haven't liked any of his books. I only read two of the Gone books before I chucked them out; Eve and Adam was one of the worst books I've ever read and I just can't get into his BZRK series at all. He just isn't for me.

7. A popular book trope you're tired of seeing (e.g. "lost princess", corrupt ruler, love triangle, etc.)

Uhm, I'm kind of struggling with this one. I'm going to go with Insta-love. I'm really getting tired of reading a book when suddenly the main character catches the eye of another character and suddenly they're in love even though they've never spoke to/seen said character before. It really gets on my nerves. I have no problems with insta-lust because that's just purely natural if you find someone good looking, but insta-love isn't. I'm a huge romance fan, but this is really getting on my nerves now,

8. A popular series you have no interest in reading

For the past 14-15 years, I've had every intention of reading the Lord of the Rings series, but so far it hasn't happened and I'm thinking it probably won't now since I haven't even seen the movies...

9. 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 really loved Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern, but Love, Rosie was a fantastic movie adaptation! I adored the movie more than the book mainly because the ending seemed a lot more plausible and left me crying with happiness!

I'm not going to TAG anyone specifically because I don't know who has done it and who hasn't, but if you haven't and you want to do it, I TAG YOU!
