Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week the Top Ten Tuesday topic was "top ten books that defied your expectations" in a good way or a bad way. I've decided to take it in the direction of books that I really thought I would love, but just didn't live up to the hype for me. So without further ado, here is my list:
1. Dorthy Must Die by Danielle Paige
2. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
3. Everything the Darkness Eats by Eric LaRocca
4. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
5. Matched by Ally Condie
6. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
7. Allegiant by Veronica Roth
8. Paper Towns by John Green
9. Velveteen by Daniel Marks
I wouldn't say that any of these books are bad at all. I think what happened was that the majority of these books got so much hype that my expectations were sky high and they just didn't live up to those expectations. I wanted to love all of these books so bad, but they all just fell short for me.
I felt the same way about the first two. They just weren't as good for me as I thought they would be. Bummer.
