TTT - Celebrate Your Differences

The top 10 weekly meme used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish but starting this week, they are handing over the reins to ThatArtsyReaderGirl who can be found HERE.  Each week she will focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading. 

This week's topic is Books I Disliked But Am Glad I Read.  Well, I tend to not pick up a lot of books that I don't think I'll like so I don't think I could go very far on that one.  However, I have read some REALLY hyped books that people love that just didn't work for me.  Therefore, I am celebrating differences!  Because really, aren't there enough book out there that we all don't have to think the same about them!

Come on, you knew it would be here.  Lots of my favorite bloggers really liked this book.  It even has a 3.73 average rating on Goodreads.  Only 11% of people gave it a 2-star rating or lower.  YES!  I sure fall into the minority with this one.

I affectionately call The Hunger my Little Heaven of 2018.  It has a 3.67 average rating and again some of my favorite bloggers really loved it.  It also has only 11% of readers giving it a 2-star rating or lower. MAN!  It really IS my new Little Heaven!

Well well, what do we have here.  Another book a lot of people love.  However I do know a few fellow bloggers who didn't care for this one either so I don't feel quite so alone.  Final Girls has an average Goodreads rating of 3.79.  With only 8% of people giving it 2-stars or lower, I really don't have many people who agree with me on this one!

Now here's one I actually gave 3/5 but in retrospect, I don't know why.  I really kind of hated it.  (So lots of people are throwing things at me now...except for Stormi and Laurie, I know they didn't like it much either).  It has an average rating of 3.78 and at least 26% of others gave it 3/5, with only 7% giving it a lower rating.  I should have re-read IT.

I think this book may have actually started the Curse of the Thrillers.  Yes, I gave it 3/5.  Yes, I was way too generous and should have given it 2/5 or even less.  There were stupid people everywhere.  It has an average rating of 3.75 of Goodreads and only 9% gave it 2 or lower.  Wonder if that percentage will go up when I change my rating?

So I thought that was it but no, I just realized one book that HAS to make the list.....

Are you ready.....

Are you sitting down....

Some love it, some hate it and me, I hope I never see it again!

I really disliked this book.  So what did I do, after I read it, I watched the movie which I disliked just as much if not more.  This has a 4.04 rating on Goodreads so CLEARLY I'm going against the grain.  It even won the 2012 Goodreads Choice Award.  Only 6% gave it 2 stars or lower. 

Oh how I love being different!
