Feature and Follow [1]


Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, 
where we can meet new bloggers. 
















This week's question:
Have you ever read a book that you thought you would hate — ? Did you end up hating it? Did you end up loving it? Or would you never do that?


Actually, I'm quite a picky reader. I only choose books that I'm sure I'll absolutely love, so I haven't read a book I thought I would hate. However, I think it happened the other way around. You know, you pick up a book you think you'll enjoy and end up hating every bit of it. For me , that (sadly) was Emma by Jane Austen. I read P&P in school, so I was expecting nothing but greatness from the author. Granted, it was not my cup of tea, but I never expected I wouldn't even be able to finish it! 

One book I was going into with low expectations was City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I wouldn't say I ended up hating it, but my initial expectations weren't wrong either. 



How about you? Let me know!

    I like to try new books so I tend to read books that I might not normally like. I also read reviews and if it getting really bad reviews then I will probably stay far away from it. New follower! Thanks for stopping by :)

    I have yet to read something written by Cassandra Clare. I heard bad things about her :S but then there's people who seem to love her books to bits.
