#FF is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort

. A book blog :)
The question this week is:
What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?
My answer:
Mmmm, let me think for a second... Goodreads.. help!!!
Okay, so after looking at my read GR list, I came up with this:
Why? Because it totally dunked my expectations. I though it would be a real assassin story, full of conspiracies and stuff... but no. I was seriously disappointed.
Well, what's your answer?
Oh darn. I loved this story. But we can't all like the same stuff. To answer your questions I'm not entirely sure who liked Twilight....must be someone out there haha.
ReplyDeleteNew follower and thank you for checking out my page.
Oh well, I guess we all like different books :)
DeleteYeah, I agree with you here. So much hype about this one, yet when I read the cover back I was just kind of blah. And I have no time whatsoever for blah books.

To be honest, after reading the back cover, I was also left with the impression that it wouldn't be something remotely interesting. Still though I thought I'd give it a chance... turned out I shouldn't have. Grave Mercy was a billion times better.
DeleteHey there, thanks for stopping by. I just don't what the big appeal is about 50 Shades, but its always good to meet people who appreciate *real* books! Thanks for following, doing the same back!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the sound of Throne of Glass. Hope it doesn't let me down as well! Following via GFC :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, though if you're into real assassin books, it just might.
DeleteSnap, I picked Throne of Glass too. New follower via RSS

I have not read this one and I don't think I will now!
Thanks
I found it disappointing as well. There was not NEARLY enough assinating (let's pretend that's a word) for my taste.
ReplyDeleteMy follow friday! Please visit!
I agree. The one assassin in the book didn't bother killing anyone. How lame could that get?
DeleteOh no! I haven't read this one but have been really looking forward to it! I hope it doesn't disappoint me!
ReplyDeleteNew follower! You can check out my ff post here!

LOL. You're the second person who has said Throne of Glass on this meme...but I have heard the same things too. I heard either you loved the book or hated it.

Visit my FF! :)
yeah, I guess that's true...
DeleteTotally agree with you, This was such a disapointing read.
ReplyDeleteIKR? I was expecting so much drama, and there was none. Compared to Grave Mercy... well I can't really compare them.
DeleteUh oh, I'm really looking forward to this one so I'm hoping I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Following back :]

Yeah it did the same for me as well. I was really disappointed in the fact that I found several quotes that matches Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder almost word for word.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my page. Sorry I got back to you so late.
