Unpopular Book Tag


Unpopular Book Tag
  It is always a horrible thing that not everyone loves your favorite books. I respect you, though…but it’s so great to find others with the same opinions of yours! Yet today…I’m not going to write a popular book tag…I’m doing an unpopular book tag! 

1.     A POPULAR BOOK OR SERIES THAT YOU LIKE & EVERYONE ELSE DOESN’T.
Before I started my book blog…I’ll go to Twilight. It gets so many praises and negative comments on the same time! But after I read more books…I feel it boring and the romance…was horrible. Still…I love all the characters and some of their interactions are fun to read…except Bella, Edward, and Jacob. (Wait…those are the protagonists? Yeap…I never like them.) Besides Twilight Sags, I’ll also pick The Beautiful Creatures series. I love the first book, but it seems that many people get bored toward the end of the series. Well…when I was reading this book…I skipped some part of it and never re-read them. But I like the ending and I will probably pick it up again in the future…whenever I got time. Also, I love the movie…except for the plot twisting part! It’s completely different from the book! But I still love it…but the poster was too similar to Twilight!!! I hope the producer can change the poster.  

2.     A BOOK WITH A LOVE TRIANGLE WHERE THE PROTAGONIST ENDS UP WITH THE WRONG DUDE.
I hate love triangle. I hate love triangle. I hate love triangle. Oh! Wait! Only the type that our beloved protagonist fell in love with both of the boys and both of the boys love her…so we went through a journey of—love him…no I love the other guy…wait! I love the first guy! I hated that…to me…you can only fall in love with one of them at a time!!! Don’t fall in love with two guys! That is horrible!!! But…if the protagonist has her clear choice, but the other guys fall in love with her…I’m ok with that. As long as she remain with her first choice. Like Lia and Rafe in The Remnant Chronicles!!! But I feel so sorry for Kaden…since he falls in love with Lia…but it’s clear that… (Cough!) But…anyway…I hope Kaden can fall in love with Pauline! She’s such a sweet girl and deserves to be loved. Oh right, back to the protagonist who ends up with the wrong guy…I’ll go to Wings! I know it’s a not so popular series YA…but it is kind of famous in Taiwan…at least…used to. But I never satisfied with Lauerel and Tamani. And I’m angry with David as well. I know Lauerel and Tamani are both fairies and suits together…but I just don’t like Tamani! I think Lauerel should be with David! As for David, he said something about “oh! That’s not Lauerel I was concerned about..” I’m really angry with that. I don’t know why…but simply hated it. 

3.     POPULAR GENRE YOU HARDLY EVER GO FOR WHEN YOU NEED A BOOK
Contemporary. Really…I hardly go for contemporary. I think I might read some before…but I forget the title of the series, it’s about three girls. But…I don’t know whether I’ll like contemporary or not…just since there’re still so many book on to-read list…I could hardly have time to start with contemporary! Perhaps you can recommend some to me! 

4.     POPULAR BELOVED BOOK CHARACTER YOU DON’T LIKE
Edward ,Bella, and Jacob from Twilight Saga. Definitely the three of them. Even though I like this series before…before I considered it as silly, I’ve always disliked the three of them. My favorite character in this series was actually Jane. Really, don’t question me. I think their romance and love lives are so stupid!!! I never, ever like them. If you must ask my favorite couple in Stephenie Mayer’s books…I’ll go to Ian and Wanda, I still love them really much! At least they’re not fall in love because of some stupid reasons.  

5.     POPULAR BOOK TROPE YOU’RE TIRED OF SEEING
Dystopia…definitely dystopia. I’m tired of all those dystopia book. Wait…I thought you like An Ember in the Ashes, Vivian? Well…that’s an exception. After reading Hunger Game, the wonderful dystopia story…I feel no desire to read more. Like Divergent and The Maze Runner…no interest at all! But…no as I’m reading original books…I might pick up some dystopia in the future. Oh! And I’m definitely going to finish An Ember in the Ashes series…this series is wonderful!!! I love it! And…I think Red Queen is also dystopia…? I’m not sure…but I’m going to read it anyway. 

6.      POPULAR SERIES YOU’RE NOT GOING TO READ
Divergent, absolutely Divergent. I know all of you love this series…but I just don’t like it at all!!! It seems so similar to Hunger Game! I’ve watched the first movie…and read the ending of this series…but nope…I’ve no interested to pick this series up. I’m sorry! But I don’t like the story. Also besides Divergent…I’m not going to read The Maze Runner series as well. I’ve watched the movie, the first and the second, they’re great, but I feel no temptation to read this series. I don’t know why!!! Please don’t hate me for watching the movie without reading! But…that’s what happens in both of the series. I remember when I finished The Host’s movie than I rushed to read the book…but after I watched bother of the movie, one of them made me wanted to watch the second, and the other doesn’t interested me in anyway. So…I probably won’t read both of the series…not even in the future…unless I get free books…then…perhaps? 

  So…what’s your opinion on those unpopular book tags? I think it is ok for reader to dislike or love the books while others don’t. Everyone has different taste, right? And I’ll love to discuss those questions with all of you! It is so great to exchange ideas of books with others!!! Book blogs and tubes are growing!!! Yeah!!! And leave your comment below!

    Oh, I have a sh*t ton of contemporary YA to recommend... >:D
    Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (super long title, I know.)(friendship + family + identity exploring = fabulous bildungsroman)
    A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass (teen deals with synesthesia, which makes her see colours everywhere)
    Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements (not entirely contemporary because it involves a boy-turned-invisible, but that's just a plot device and there's an awesome blind girl so...)
    Feeling Sorry for Celia and Finding Cassie Crazy, both by Jaclyn Moriarty (awesome last name!) (written entirely in either letters or notes. really cool and hilarious.)
    Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson (this one's pretty scary and harrowing, but it has a very realistic depiction on anorexia nervosa.)
    Falling into Place by Amy Zhang (also a bit depressing and harrowing but it has an unlikable main character (!) and non-linear timeline(!))
    These are some of my favourite ones; you can also visit Loony Literate, I think the blogger (Emily) reads a lot of YA contemporaries so you might want to start there? :)

      Perhaps I'll start reading some contemporary this year!!! I'll make sure to visit the blogger when I've time...if I have the luxury. But Things not seen sound great! I think I've heard it before...

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl      By Elizabeth Wong     I know, I’m horrible. But I’m not dead…I’m just lazy. So…before I finish my currently reading, I’ve decided to give you something short. A little reflection on what I thought on my school reading.     It's still there, the Chinese school on Yale Street where my brother and I used to go. Despite the new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew 10 years ago remains remarkably, stoically the same.     Every day at 5 P.M., instead of playing with our fourth and fifth grade friends or sneaking out to the empty lot to hunt ghosts and animal bones, my brother and I had to go to Chinese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or pleading could dissuade my mother, who was solidly determined to have us learn the language or our heritage. Forcibly, she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, deposing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal. My only me

The Beauty of Darkness By Mary E. Pearson   So…after a long time without posting anything… (Can you blame me? I’m at NYC!!!) Oh wait! I don’t want to hear anything about “you’ve been gone?” or “I haven’t notice that!!!” I’m usually a productive blogger…just you know…for the past two months…I was busy participating lots of activities. And now…I’m back!!! The first post will be—my most anticipate book number one—The Beauty of Darkness, the last book of Remnant Chronicles!!! The final story of Lia, Rafe and Kaden! Ahhh!!!!!!     How could I possibly live without them??? As soon as I finish the book…my life ended. I’ve read so many reviews before reading this book and find as many spoilers as possible…but they just can’t satisfied me!!!!! My head is always screaming—give me the book!!!!   And you know what happened at the release day? I ran to the nearest Barnes and Noble as soon as I’m free from class…I just can’t wait any longer. (Well…if you follow me on Instagram…yo

October + September Book Haul + Pottermore Patronus + New Announcement

October + September Book Haul Pottermore Patronus New Announcement     I know that’s a lot…but sorry, I forget some other post than reviews are important too!!! I fail my book tag goal terribly these months…such a busy freshman. (Nonsense, I spent most of my time wandering around.) So! Let’s start with Pottermore Patronus!!!   I was so excited when I heard the announcement and I did the quiz immediately that day, without any hesitation. Really, immediately. And you know what? I love my Patronus!!! I know a lot of people out there hate their Patronus, since it might be a salmon…or something like that. But, there are also extremely wonderful Patronus, such as Griffins, or Phoenix. However, they’re also extremely rare as well. I think I also got a rare Patronus? At least that’s what Pottermore told me, unless it said it to everyone. Still, I wish everyone of you love your Patronus regardless how much you hate the animal, Patronus aren’t always what we think they are.
