Heart to Heart Mondays (10) : Books you should stay away from
Hello!
Today I will be talking about books you should stay away from, in my opinion. There are a couple reasons I give a book one star . Sometimes it is the writing, sometimes it is the plot, sometimes its the characters and sometimes it depends on the mood I am in while reading it. And sometimes all four.
BEWARE! Spoilers ahead!
First, what I think of as the worst series of all time:
After series by Anna Todd - My Review of book 3
This series angered me so much. The two main characters are toxic morons, the writing is subpar, there is no plot. I read the whole series just to see if they hopefully end up dead but no such luck.
Beautiful disaster by Jamie McGuire
To be honest, I liked it when I first read it. What can I say, I was 21, to me, Travis was wowza. Today, I know better. He was manipulative, creepy and had major anger issues, Abby is, I have no words for her, she seems to think Earth revolves around her. America is a shitty excuse for a best friend. There really is no plot, other than them being on-off and non stop fighting, almost nothing really major happens. Just no, spare yourself the anger and disbelief.
Tease by Amanda Maciel
The glorifying of bullying basically. The friendship is shit, the characters are shit and almost evil. I cannot explain to you how angry this book made me.
Commander in chief by Katy Evans
There is no plot, just sex. Now. I am not saying that is bad , I just wasn't interested. I wanted something, anything to happen. The first book was also nothing to write home about, it was just ok.
Confessions of a bookaholic by Joslyn Westbrook
This was the most recent read on my list. And I was so dissappointed, especially because it had a good start. Again, there is no real plot.
Also, here are the books I have no plans reading, either they are racist,homophobic, sexist or xenophobic.Or they have problematic characters and actions:
Sadly, these are not all of them, they were just more hyped. The bad reality is, libraries and bookstores are filled with books that are problematic for various different reasons. We should all try to read more Own voices and diverse books, commit to supporting marginalized authors. My goal for this year is to read more black authors and to try and promote them on the blog.
What are the books you think no one should read?
What books do you think are problematic?
