I have however reread a book that I liked and felt completely differently the second time. The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse is one example. I read it before I started blogging and then the sequel was coming out and I wanted to reread it and review it on my blog before reading the sequel. But after reading The Forsaken again, I was sitting there wondering what I liked so much about it in the first place. I think that maybe I just changed as a reader. The way I look at books has changed since I started blogging. I'm more critical of the writing, the world-building, and the character development now than I ever used to be. So that could be it. Not sure if Fangirl was a fluke or not for you. All I know is that I absolutely loved that book. I haven't read any of the other ones you have mentioned but have heard amazing things about them. I think each person has their own opinion and sometimes it's not a popular one. And that's okay. Everyone in the blogosphere seems to love Horde by Ann Aguirre, but I hated it. Like HATED it. *shrugs* That's okay though. There are plenty of other books out there.

In many cases for me, I think it's because the first time I read it, I was too immature to pick up on the things that made it good, especially with some longer books. What's a bit more common is when I read a book and really like it, but after a while, I'll look back and think "Why in the world was I so crazy about that book?"Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.com
