Unpopular Opinions Book Tag

WARNING: This blog will have spoilers and opinions that may go against yours which might offend you. So if you are easily offended don't read. Thank you

Hello! So I recently watched a bunch of videos on the Unpopular Opinion book tag and decided I'd write mine out. I was not tagged but I really wanted to do it. Let's get started:

1. A popular book or series you did not like.

Okay so a book that's been raved about for a while now that I don't like would be All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. This book is okay but I can't say I liked it. It felt like I read the book and it was going nowhere. One second I'm reading the slow plot and the next it's the end, rather quickly. And I felt that I couldn't really understand why or how Finch felt. And his death came as a mystery to me. I also felt annoyed with Violet often. 

2. A popular book or series that everyone else seems to hate but you love.

I've seen that The Mortal Instruments series isn't liked very much but I love it.
People say they hate Jace and Clary but I love them together so much.

3. A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with or and OTP you do not like.

SPOILERS AHEAD! In the Matched series by Ally Condie, Cassie ends up with Ky. I didn't like that one bit. She deserves to end up with Xander. That's all I'm saying or I'll rant forever on why Xander is better.

4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for

Paranormal books are a genre I'll hardly read. That includes Twilight and The Vampire Diaries.

5. A popular or beloved character you do not like.

I don't like Margo Roth Spiegelman from Paper Towns by John Green. She's just really annoying and mean to Q when he finds her.

6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into.

This one is hard because I can't think of any authors. But probably L.J Smith since I won't be reading The Vampire Diaries anytime soon.

7. A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing.

I like any book trope but the whole love triangle has been kinda overused.

8. A popular series you have no interest in reading.

Another hard one, but since I've said it above - The Vampire Diaries

9. The saying goes "The book is always better than the movie," but what movie it T.V. Show do you prefer more than the book?

There's hardly ever a case where the adaptation is better than the book but..... Paper Towns. That's the only book that I prefer the adaption. The whole middle part of the book was a hassle to read through. I only like the beginning and end, that's it. Not to mention that I don't like Margo. But the movie was fun and made Margo seem much more likeable than the book.

The end

Thank you for reading and I hope I didn't offend anyone with my opinions. How did you answer these questions? I want to know:)
