1. What is a popular book or series that you didn't like?
I don't know how popular they are, but I didn't like the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr or the Immortals series by Alyson Noel. As for popular books, I'm not a fan of The Giver by Lois Lowry, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, Landline by Rainbow Rowell, or An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. Sorry!
2. What is a popular book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love?
I have a few for this one. The Gone series by Michael Grant and the Lorien Legacies series by Pittacus Lore are two of my favorite sci-fi series. I don't hear too much about them from other people, but when I do, it's typically negative. I don't love it, but I didn't hate the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick as much as other people did. I also didn't have any problems with Allegiant or Mockingjay. (Please don't hate me!)
3. What is a love triangle where the main character ended up with the person you didn't want them to end up with or an OTP (one true pairing) that you don't like?
For the love triangle, definitely The Hunger Games. I was not a fan of the end result. Maybe the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo as well, but that one I'm on the fence about. Disliking an OTP kind of goes against the meaning of the phrase, but I'll play along: Jace and Clary from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and Percy and Annabeth from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. Not a fan of those couples.
4. What is a popular book genre that you hardly reach for?
Paranormal and historical fiction. It's not that I dislike those genres, they just don't top my list.
5. Who is a popular or beloved character that you don't like?
Definitely Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, too. I wasn't a huge fan of June from the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu, either.
6. What/who is a popular book or author that you can't seem to get into?
I've tried almost all of David Levithan's books, but I can't get into his writing. I really, really dislike Ellen Hopkins, though.
7. What is a popular book trope that you're tired of seeing?
I think I'm getting tired of betrayal. I love a good plot twist, but I think I've just read too many books lately that have someone betraying the main character and ruining everything. It's getting predictable.
8. What is a popular series that you have no interest in reading?
The Fallen series by Lauren Kate, the Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner, and the Perfect Chemistry series by Simone Elkeles.
9. What movie or TV adaptation do you prefer more than the book?
I definitely like the Warm Bodies movie much more than the book. I could not finish the book; it was just so boring. I wasn't a big fan of The Fault in Our Stars, but I really enjoyed the movie. That's all I can think of!
