Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books I’d Gladly Throw Into the Ocean (submitted by Beauty & Her Books). I don't often spotlight books I disliked or even hated, but let's just say these really rubbed me the wrong way. My reviews are linked to the titles and without further ado here we go in alphabetical order by title:
Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Have you read any of these books? What are some of your least favorite books? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I agree with all of these except for Flawed - but Flawed is such a marmite book it's definitely one you love or hate with very few in between.

That's what I've noticed. Thanks for coming over, Cora.
DeleteI've seen fallen on a few peoples lists now 😬 (feel strange now as it's one of my guilty pleasure reads)

I'm really glad I didn't have to suffer through it in high school.
DeleteThe Fountainhead! I read that quite a long time ago and didn't really understand it, but boy was it long and rambling!
ReplyDeleteI had to read it in high school and I totally saw red.
DeleteFallen and Black Ice are on my list too.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about Stranger in a Strange Land. It's.... interesting...
It's something else.
Deletei love this meme...thanks for sharing your list

Thanks for coming over, Sherry!
DeleteI enjoyed the movie of A Simple Favour, but I never read the book.

Yes, the movie was pretty great. The book though not so much.... Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI happily haven't read any of these. But I heard about Black Ice and it sounded terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt totally was. Save yourself!
DeleteI actually liked the Fallen books, but Catcher in the Rye was one of my least favorite required reading books. I found Holden so annoying
ReplyDeleteHolden was so incredibly irritating.
DeleteI think I remember seeing Black Ice around. Fallen has a great cover but yeah I think I've seen negative feedback on that one too lol.
ReplyDeleteThey were certainly special, that's for sure.
DeleteTell me why you don't like A Stranger in a Strange Land. I haven't read it yet but heard it was good. Now I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI only made it through 16% of the book before I passed on it. The way the lead female character made my skin crawl and all the groks got on my nerves pretty quick. It just wasn't for me...
DeleteOmg.. I totally forgot about Black Ice!! I didn't enjoy that one! I do remember liking a couple of the Fallen books, I think. It's been so long!! lol
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been a long time!
