Feature Follow Friday: Book I Didn't Like


Feature Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee Alison Can Read. It's a way for bloggers and readers alike to make some new friends and gain some new followers as well. The point of this hop is to follow other bloggers. I follow you, you follow me.

Also, this week's featured blogger is Cassi @ My Thoughts... Literally, so make sure you check it out too.

While I do prefer GFC and/or Bloglovin follows, if you would like to follow me via email/twitter etc, that's great too! Also, please leave a comment so I can follow you back!

Question of the Week:

Tell us about a book you didn't like and why we shouldn't read it... nicely.
Throughout my reading journey, I have come across a couple of books I really haven't enjoyed, the most recent of which was The Luxe by Anna Godbersen, the review of which you can find here. However, I think I'm going to raise up All That Glitters by Linda Howard. Now, let me begin by saying Linda Howard is one of my favourite romance authors. However, this book just was not enjoyable. I like alpha males. I enjoy books in which the domineering male does things his own way but eventually falls under the charm of the female protagonist and slowly changes his behaviour.

This book just took it way too far. It borders on domestic abuse. I can't imagine any woman still falling in love with him after everything he did, including [spoiler] ruining her wedding day. And if you doubt my reaction to it, have a look at the reviews on Goodreads.

Anyway, so that was my answer. What was a book you didn't like? Leave a comment and/or link below and I'll be sure to check it out!!!

    1. Absolutely, this post is interesting as we're receive so many book recommendations but it's cool to get some books to avoid too :D

  3. I am totally against anything that has to do with domestic violence. It drives me insane that the victim sticks around.

    1. It's a very divisive series I found. There are plenty of readers who loved it and there are others who hate it. Not a lot of readers in the middle. :D

    1. Definitely give this one a miss. However, most of Linda Howard's works, I'd recommend!

  7. I've never heard of those books. But I recently started reading some of Linda Howard's books. And I liked a few of them, but I didn't feel they were really great. But now I know to avoid this one! Thanks!
