Sometimes you love a book, but no one really shares in that love. You search high and low, but you’re the only one. In some cases, maybe people are flat-out talking about how they HATED the book you love.
In this week’s Top 5 Tuesday, host Shanah The Bionic Bookworm wants to know about the books we love that others didn’t. I don’t remember anyone hating on the books on my list, but there also weren’t a bunch of people shouting about how much they loved them. Does that count? It’s going to have to.
The Warded Man

Steelheart

Wool

Off to be Wizard
by Scott Meyer
Wrestler to author… now that’s an interesting career path.
I loved Off To Be A Wizard! Admittedly I haven’t got round to reading his other books but I’m looking forward to them!
I haven’t either. But I will!
Actually, there are a ton of series that I’ve read the first book of haven’t gotten any further. I intend on finishing most of them. I guess I’m just really good at starting a series, and really bad at finishing them!
Haha, I’m the same! I always get really excited about starting a series but it’s such a big commitment reading them one after the other
People didn’t like Steelheart? I thought everyone loved ALL Brandon Sanderson lol The cover for Off To Be A Wizard looks amazing! Need to look into it!
Thanks so much for participating – added you to the list 🙂
Like I said, I don’t think the books I loved are hated, so I chose books that I don’t hear much about… The closest I could come up with!
Well I’m glad for it! Gives me some books to look into 🙂
I didn’t realize people didn’t love Wool. I remember when I read the first installment it felt like everyone loved it! Also, to this day Mick Foley’s autobiographies are probably my favorite autobiographies ever. Especially Have a Nice Day. He’s a funny dude. 🙂
These aren’t books people hated. I couldn’t find books I liked that people hated. So these are books that people don’t talk much about.
And the Mick Foley book I listed is a work of fiction. And it’s fascinating!
I had a hard time with this week too. I thought about going that route too, but I think I’ve done that one before. Either way, good list. I’ll have to check out the Mick Foley book.
Well I am clueless at what to say this time Joe as I haven’t read any of these. So I cant tease you on your taste 😉
Wool was so good. I haven’t heard great things about the followup books, but I haven’t tried them myself.
