I dislike a lot of books. It's unfortunate but a side effect of reading so many books. But there are some I'm glad I read despite not enjoying them. Many are classics that I feel richer for having read; others are YA books or historical fiction that I feel I would always have wondered "What if?" if I hadn't read them.
1. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
2. Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley
(If only because that cover would have kept calling to me if I'd never read it.)

3. Beloved by Toni Morrison
4. As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
5. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
6. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
(Because it got me to try Dennard's Truthwitch series, which is loads better, imo.)

7. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
(I didn't hate it enough to not read the rest of the series, and I enjoyed ACOMAF much more.)

What books did you list for this week?
This is a pretty eclectic list! I'm seeing a lot of classics on other lists but you've got some YA here too.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't that keen on ACOTAR either and like you enjoyed ACOMAF more.

I kind of feel the same about As I Lay Dying. I mostly liked it, but understanding it was a massive struggle.
