Contradictions Book Tag

Once again Kristin @ Kristin Kraves Books is making me aware of some fun books tags that I have to give a go! This was originated by  Daniela at Only If For a Page on BookTube.

Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong – Fantasy is my favourite genre but this book just didn’t do it for me

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward – I’m just getting in to horror books and this one was great!

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell – the Chosen One trope is one of my favourites but this book wasn’t good for me

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas – the Damsel in Distress tropes is one of my least favourites but this iteration did it for me!

Leigh Bardugo has been a consistent favourite but Ninth House was a let down

I didn’t like Middlegame but I loved Where The Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire

Velvet was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody – there is so much more that could of been done with this cover

Series DNF’s

I don’t really DNF a lot of books or series, simply because I am a bit of a completionist so when I start something I am just compelled to finish it. However, there are a couple series that I read the first or second book and I was just so ambivalent towards or I didn’t like enough that I won’t be finishing them off with no qualms, which I thought I would list for you today.

Wayfarers Series by Becky Chambers

🌸Book Covers that give me Spring Vibes🌼

I like listing all of the books that I am interested in but haven’t read because I feel it will make me prioritise them!
