Least Favorite Books & DNFs of 2017

In the book Famous In Love, which I did enjoy, it refers to a fictional book in their world which the characters in Famous In Love are adapting a movie of this book called Locked so Rebecca Serle came out with the novella called Locked which is supposed to be that book in their world.

I did make it several chapters in but it just wasn't giving me the suspense level that I wanted from thrillers. I had just read some really good ones and I was kind of like burned out on the genre and this one wasn't living up to it so I was like I'm gonna put it down and I just kind of forgot about it and never went back to it.

I started reading it thinking oh this is gonna be cool, I'll be reading the book that these characters keep talking about and it just it wasn't exactly how the characters in the main book were describing it and it was like worse than the opinion I got of it from the main book so I just didn't care and I mean that's saying a lot to DNF a novella because they're so short but I just couldn't even get through it.

She gets very caught up in descriptions and Never Fade just started out in a new place and I didn't really understand how we had gotten here. I just didn't enjoy it at all and decided that I wasn't invested in this series or these characters anymore and I just don't care to continue the series so that was the other book that I DNFed this year.

The good thing going for it, which is the only reason it's not my number one least favorite book, is that Karen M. McManus does write suspense well and she had me going and on the edge of my seat for a large chunk of this book, at least the first half of it. But the thing that made this a least favorite read of the year for me is that it plays with people's identities and their marginalization and uses them as plot twists or plot devices.

I liked Passenger but the high that book ended on did not carry through with Wayfarer to me.

I gave this book 1 star, I just don't think that this one was well written in any way shape or form but I do see why some people would like it. It just, it just was a book that nothing happened in it!

The reason that this one is my least favorite is because it had poor plot, poor characters, poor romance, and terrible fat representation. There was just no redeeming quality to this book to me. It was one star.

This one I tried on audiobook and it was so boring and I had been reading it, listening to it, for days and I could have sworn to you guys I was like 200 pages in and I looked at the book and I was 56 pages into this book and it felt like it had taken me ages to get just 56 pages in the book. So to me it was boring, a lot of info dumpy, and like I didn't really know why the things were happening but I could tell you exactly all the little booby traps the character would set up for herself whenever she would go to bed at night so that no one could get her but I didn't really understand why people cared to come after her.

This book has an amazing premise that sounds right up my alley. I was so excited to read it but the book did not follow through. There was no climax, there was no conflict at all.

I did enjoy the first book.

This book is not bad. I don't have any negative feelings towards it. It was just very slow and it never gripped me and I got probably a third of the way into this book and I just every time I would pick it up I felt like I was forcing myself to read it.

Wayfarer was like a total reset and you had to like start over and just start building everything again and so the pace really slowed down for me. To me it just it wasn't gripping at all. I felt it was poorly paced, it was too slow, it was way too descriptive, very info dumpy, and for a book that is an action adventure story about time travel and romance there was very little action or romance in it in my opinion.
