Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Disliked But Am Glad I Read


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.

8130077
1. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

31952703
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.)

6149
3. Beloved by Toni Morrison

77013
4. As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

394406
5. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

9859436
6. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
(Because it got me to try Dennard's Truthwitch series, which is loads better, imo.)

16096824
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.)

24951755
8. Da Vinci's Tiger by L.M. Elliott

23232396
9. Three Day Summer by Sarvenaz Tash

7599
10. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

  1. This is a pretty eclectic list! I'm seeing a lot of classics on other lists but you've got some YA here too.

  2. I wasn't that keen on ACOTAR either and like you enjoyed ACOMAF more.

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

    Aj @ Read All The Things!
