Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week’s theme is Top FIVE Books: Characters I liked That Were In Non-Favorite/Disliked Books
Okay, this was extremely hard. If I didn’t like books it’s mainly because I didn’t like or connect to the characters. So, this was very difficult. Not a top ten but I got as many as I could. I had to dig deep for this one.
Here are they are:
I am and will be team Chase! I disliked this book and mostly because of the direction the author went. I remember loving Chase though.
Yup. I’m in the minority here, I think. I really disliked this book. I made it to page 300 and had to stop. I DNF. Although, I didn’t like it. I still really liked Musenda, the Gladiator. I’m not sure how it plays out but I loved him from what I read.
Hawken was definitely my favorite. He’s the main characters best friend.
I really hated this book. So many people loved it and I just didn’t. I think the best character in this book is actually, Anna. She puts up with so much crap and then really comes through in the end.
I was so disappointed by this book. I felt so bad for her father. He was so kind and trying to protect her but she thought she knew better. He deserved so much better.
This was a tough week!! What made your list?!
I completely agree about Everless. The book was so rushed and mediocre. But, you’re completely right about the father. I felt so bad for me, the poor guy. 😋
great TTT! 📚

I haven’t read any of these books but I want to read The Girl on the Train for so long now.
Today’s topic was definitely hard, that’s why I switched it 😀

I found The Girl on the Train to be so obvious, so yeah, it’s not really a favorite of mine.

I really enjoyed Everless, but I can see what you mean about Jules’s father deserving better. He was such a great character and she completely underappreciated him, which made me feel extremely sad!
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday.

This was a tough topic. I agree about Girl on the Train- I struggled with that book too. I kinda agree with you though about Anna. Rachel irritated me so much…

Rachel drove me crazy! I really don’t understand why people loved this book so much. I guess, not every book is for everyone. I did watch the movie because my husband wanted to see it. It was a bit better but only because I love Emily Blunt.

I’ve seen a lot of people who liked Girl on the Train. I haven’t read it myself yet, though. What did you dislike about it the most?
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks for stopping by earlier today.

Yeah, that’s why I read it and I regret that decision! Everyone was recommending it to us at the Library. We try to read bestsellers, so we have books to recommend to patrons. A few of my co-workers and I decided to read it and none of us liked it! I really disliked the main character. She drove me crazy! She makes several horrible decisions and it gets quite frustrating.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Huh, this is such an intriguing blog topic! I’ve never thought of thinking about a book’s characters separate from its overall content. Would you recommend True Letters from a Fictional Life for the characters, despite disliking it overall? I’ve been meaning to read it for a while now and have heard mixed things.

If you haven’t read, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, I would say yes. I kept comparing it because it’s so similar and I prefer TATBILB. It’s been a couple years since I’ve read True Letters. I can’t remember too much, to be honest. We did a Mock Printz run at work and the reviews were split.

I haven’t read any of these books but had Everless on the TBR–might want to rethink that 🙂

There’s a lot of mixed opinions.. maybe wait a little longer and see how more reviews shake out. I didn’t like it. I’ve seen some comment today that they did. Definitely, keep it low on the TBR for now 😊

This one was tough this week. I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Girl On The Train either. I did like Anna though.

I “quite” liked Everless. The whole concept of the time as currency intrigued me from the start but I think it could’ve been executed better. Completely agree that her father deserved way more though; that’s a given!

Yes, I was so intrigued by the aspect of time as currency. It had so much potential but fell flat for me. It’s okay though!

Exactly! I’m just hoping maybe the sequel will be an improvement. Every author has to go through a learning experience after all – especially if it was their debut.

You are right. I hope so too! I look forward to seeing what everyone things when it comes out.
