Top 5 Wednesdays are hosted by Lainey and you can find the goodreads group here if you're interested in taking part! This was a difficult one because I don't often leave books unfinished and if I do it's usually just because I'm in the wrong mood for them and I go back to them later.
1) Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
I just couldn't. I do tend to read popular books and I tried but Ana must be the most boring heroine ever and Christian is just a horrible person.
2) The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani
This is kind of unfair because this was not the books fault! I don't often read middle grade and I made an exception for this one but couldn't make it through - which is my own fault and I've now passed the series on to Ann who will hopefully enjoy it a lot more.
3) Splintered by A.G. Howard
I know a lot of people love this series but I hated the main character and the main love interest and I couldn't do it. And I usually love Alice in Wonderland retellings.
4) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith
I technically made it to the end but I skip read so much that I don't think it counts as reading. Which is odd since I enjoyed the film so much.
5) Fallen by Lauren Kate
I borrowed this from the library soon after it first came out and I think I made it about one chapter in.
I have Splintered on my Kindle, but I'm kind of wary to read it. It just doesn't seem like it'll appeal to me! I know I'm just not going to even try to attempt Fallen. I've heard so many bad things about it that I know just stay away.
ReplyDeletePeople seem to really like Splintered but I just couldn't enjoy it, the characters just frustrated me too much. And no, Fallen is really not even remotely worth trying!
DeleteI also have PPZ on my list. I've yet to watch the movie though.

I didn't think I'd like it because I struggled so much with the book but I ended up loving the movie!
DeleteI skip-read through PPZ, too! Not a lot because I love P&P and was hoping I could just enjoy 're-reading' a story with a bit of zombies tossed in but I just didn't like it at all.
ReplyDeleteI think I read the first 2 or 3 chapter of Fifty Shades but couldn't stand the writing! It was so bad!
I liked the concept of adding zombies in and I thought it would be fun but it just felt so awkward and weird - but the movie works way better!
DeleteFifty Shades is awful, I only made it a little further than you I think and it does not get any better!
