THE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS BOOK TAG!

Image
Hey everyone, Victoria here! And today I wanted to do another tag, which is going to be the unpopular opinions book tag! I'm super excited to do this tag, so let's just jump right in! You can check out the ORIGINAL creator of this tag's video  HERE ! ~QUESTIONS~ 1. A POPULAR BOOK OR SERIES THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE I'm probably going to have to go with the Divergent Series on this one. I know this isn't that surprising since a lot of people have mixed feelings on this series. I read Divergent...wow let me think back...probably 4 or 5 years ago. I liked it at the time I guess you could say, but never made it through Insurgent. This book just has so many YA tropes that I couldn't continue reading it. The plot is pretty interesting overall I guess, but a bit overdone. I did enjoy the movies slightly more than the books though!  2. A POPULAR BOOK OR SERIES THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO HATE BUT YOU LOVE Love this thriller/horror novel!

Image
Hello! Today I will be doing my first review of the year, in which I will be giving you my thoughts on  Bad Girl Gone  by Temple Mathews! So without any further ado, let's jump right into it! Bad Girl Gone By: Temple Mathews Rating: 4/5 stars Synopsis: A girl wakes up in a mysterious place. She remembers nothing about her life except her name, Echo Stone. She is at Middle House, an orphanage for troubled kids. The only problem is that Echo isn't orphan...her parents are very much alive. Wandering Middle House in search of answers, no one will tell her why she is there. Finally, Echo realizes that her parents are indeed alive, but she isn't. Echo has recently become a ghost. And the only way she can leave Middle House is if she solves her own murder and brings her murderer to justice.  What I liked: Well obviously I liked a lot if I gave it 4/5 stars!

Shadowhunters Read-a-Long!

Hello fellow readers! I just wanted to quickly post this to talk about a year-long read-a-long of the Shadowhunter series that I will be participating in hosted by emmmabooks from Youtube!
