It's not that all of these are ~bad~ books, necessarily -- some of them I even liked! But for one reason or another, these books are the ones I look back on as disappointments from 2016.

I loved seeing what books made your favorites or honorable mentions and why, but I think getting the disappointments and why is a good follow up and just as interesting. I've got the Wrath and the Dawn and I'm curious to read it now to see my own reaction. Last year was an interesting reading year for me. I read so many books that wowed me, but I also made the decision to DNF more or give a less than satisfactory rating more than I ever have in the past. There were a few it was because they just didn't grab me after reading a few chapters in and two lost me after the mid-way point because the story fell apart, but most of them were because I got downright angry over characters and a little with the tone of story (don't like the feeling of my emotions being manipulated). I think I have a hair-trigger now and just slap a book shut when before I would have pressed on hoping for better.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for a better reading year for you. :)
