Feature and Follow is a blog hop that was started by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week a different question is posted by our hosts and we will answer! This is a great opportunity for bloggers to network and interact. This weeks question is:
If you could "unread" a book, which ones would it be? Is it because you want to start over and experience it again for the first time? Or because it was THAT bad?
When I think of "unreading" a book, I think of a book that I wasn't enjoying...and getting that time back. If I were going to start over and experience a book again, I'd just re-read it (which I have done before). I hate to say it but for me that "unread" book would be Libba Bray's Beauty Queens. I was totally looking forward to this read and I couldn't even finish the first 50 pages without getting distracted by something else. What makes me sad is that I'll never get that time back...sigh....wish I felt differently about it but it just wasn't meant to be.
Welcome to the Paperback Princesses! Make yourself at home, take a look around our blog and let us know what you think in the comments section. We would love to hear what you have to say about our posts. We often try to comment on your comments as well so feel free to start a conversation! Since there are two of us running the show, we always have a variety of titles and event postings. Be sure to check out our own personal meme page. Check out Fantastic Fairytales, Let's Hear it for the Boys, In Case you Missed it and a few others. We try to not only focus on new YA books but also great titles from the past.
There are just some of those books out there. I have a hard time DNFing a book, but I did four in June alone. I've decided that my time is much more precious than finishing a book I don't like.

Haven't heard of those, but I agree. Time is precious and it's hard when it's spent on books we didn't enjoy! Old follower!

Curlypow, it's not often that we disagree on a book - but I loved Beauty Queens! It made me laugh, and the characters were a little ridiculous/over-the-top, but I felt that it went with Libba Bray's sense of humour and the pageant theme.
ReplyDeleteActually we still don't disagree on a book. I know it say's this was my post, but actually it was Christinabean who read this one. May'be I'll give it a try just to see who I agree with :)
DeleteIt was over the top and I thought it was witty for the first 20 pages or so but then I felt like it became old material and I just lost interest. I will give it tons of cover love though. Clever photo!!!
