THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What do you think is the most overrated book?
This week I’ll be answering…
I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish news)
I’m so super upset by the fact that I couldn’t attend BEA and Bookcon this year! I was so close to going because my college is literally 20 minutes from Chicago and then I had to go on medical leave an go back home :'( Can you believe it?! But luckily I do live on the East Coast, so attending BEA and Bookcon next year isn’t out of the question if I really save up for it! Oh well, it is what it is. I’m just glad my friends had a good time!
And now, for this week’s random question…
What do you think is the most overrated book?
I don’t really have an answer for this one aside from current books I think are overhyped. I think Truthwitch by Susan Dennard was so ridiculously overhyped. When I read it, I was just like, “I don’t get the big deal…” I also thought Carry On by Rainbow Rowell was very overhyped, but I can understand the hype around that one a little more because Rowell has really devoted fans.
Yes I also thought that Carry On was overhyped. Didn’t even bother reading it..
i got through half of it and dnfed because i dislike it 🙁
I agree that Truthwitch was overhyped. I read it and was not very impressed at all.
yeah, i temporarily dnfed it. i’m hoping maybe it wasn’t the book and i was just in a book slump, but yeah…
If I weren’t such a baby and didn’t refuse to DNF books I probably would have DNFed Truthwitch.
oh well, ya win some, ya lose some. i’m interested to see how i feel when ii return to the book. hopefully it’s better.
I hope you like it better than I did 🙂
thanks
