Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl that features a great bookish top ten every week.
Ash-
I decided to do top 5 because I can't think of more. Oops
Jenn:
So I couldn't really think of characters that I liked in books that I didn't like.... Characters make or break a book for me. So I did Bad characters that ruined a great story.
1. Damselfy by Chandra Prasad. I didn't hate this book. I did enjoy it but I think the main character kept me from loving it. I am doing a review this week on this book so I don't want to say too much. But I would have loved this book if I had liked the main character more.
2. The Art of French Kissing by Brianna M. Shrum- This book ugh.. Doing a review closer to the date of release. What I will say... cute story main chracter I hated. So it just ruined it for me.
3. Would Be Witch by Kimberly Frost- The story and mystery were pretty good. I really couldn't stand any of the characters though. I am torn if I will read more hoping the chracters will either grow on me or improve.... but really I am not sure yet.
4. Ray Vs. The Meaning of Life- again review to come closer to release date. I didn't hate the characters but really couldn't get invested. So it was just a blah read for me.
5. Where I Live by Brenda Rufener- I liked the story. I just couldn't connect to the characters. I didn't dislike them but I didn't like them either. They were just there.
6. We all Fall Down by Natalie D. Richards- Again didn't hate the characters but I didn't like them either. I just didn't understand them and their angst.
7. Labrynth Lost by Zoraida Cordova- Just couldn't connect. The main character was okay just I needed more from her. I did like her sisters but really the story was about the main character and I just couldn't connect.
8. The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett- I found the main character to be kind of annoying. Just couldn't get into her at all.
9. Broken Dolls by Tyrolin Puxty- This story had potential but the main character felt way to young for me. I just couldn't.
10. Harmony House by Nic Sheff- I just didn't like a single crazy character in this book.
Glad I wasn't the only one who thinks characters make or break a book! Lol! I had to twist the topic as well, but I went in a different route!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I read one Natalie D. Richards book and now I'm weary of reading more. It was a very generic feeling book
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the topic. I skipped this week, because I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I really liked Where I Live and Labyrinth Lost. I have avoided Lizzie Lovett, because I heard the characters were very unlikable, and after reading a different Sedoti book, it seems like that's how she likes to craft her characters.
ReplyDeleteOh Inhave to read The Art o French Kissing too. I an sorry you didn’t like it that much. Inhope it is better for me 😊
ReplyDeleteAnd I definitely agree that this topic was really hard. That’s why I flipped it 😂
