Feature & Follow ~ What Book I didn't like

Welcome to Feature Follow Friday!  This post is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.  This feature is here for everyone to be able to get their blog some attention and get more followers as well as give my readers a little more fun at looking what I do for the weekly topic. 

This week's Topic:
Tell us about a book that you didn’t like and why we shouldn’t read it…nicely.

This topic is super hard for me.  I really hate telling people to NOT read a book.  I think everyone is different and everyone should try out any book they want because you may love something I didn't.  So, I am going to go with a book that I didn't love, I only liked it, and it wasn't good enough, for me, to continue with the series.  
There you have it!  I didn't really care for Divergent.  Don't throw things at me.....because today is actually my birthday! What you should do, is go enter 



I would totally love it if you followed me today as well.  Leave me your links so I can visit you and follow you back!

  1. I liked Divergent ... it was Allegiant I didn't enjoy. I too though don't like to tell people to not read a book.

    1. PS I see the button on the side of your blog about Melanoma... I was just diagnosed last year. Thanks for your support!

    2. I am sorry for your Melanoma diagnosis and hope they caught it early. We lost my mom to it 18 mos ago and it is a terrible cancer that people don't take seriously. I will be doing an awareness post next month for sure. Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate it!

    3. We did catch it early. I mean I am still surprised. The mole didn't even look that crazy to me. I have been having a lot of biopsies done to make sure that I don't have it somewhere else.

    4. I am sorry to hear about your mother too. You are right.. people don't ever take skin cancer series. I am buying a rash guard this summer for being at the pool.

    5. I'm so glad you caught it early. I take getting my yearly checks VERY seriously now even though I have never had to have anything biopsied. We ALL wear the spf shirts to the pool and beach in the summer and I will be getting a long sleeve one this year. I don't care what people think of it. It's way to big a deal not to take precaution. Thanks so much for chatting about it. I love making people more aware. :)

  2. I liked Divergent lots--haven't read the other two yet, but it's been spoiler city out there, so I know what I'm getting into.

    Happy birthday! :)

    1. With all the spoilers and knowing how the series ends now, it makes me want to read it less and less. :/ Thanks for the birhtday wishes and for the follow!

  4. Firstly, happy birthday! Secondly, I accept your opinion. I, like many of the other reviewers so far, enjoyed the first two books but the last book totally destroyed it for me. :( Anyway, happy Friday!

    1. Thanks for stopping by and for the birthday wishes. I know a lot of people that hated that 3rd book which is why I will probably never read them. Have a fantastic weekend and thanks for being a follower!

  5. Happy birthday!!!! I entered your contest. I absolutely loved Divergent. But you know that since you stopped by my blog already where I ranted about Allegiant. Everyone is different in their tastes and there are lots of books I didn't like much that people love so it's no surprise to find a fellow blogger not liking Divergent much.

    1. Thanks for stopping by! It's nice to know people understand if you don't like a "popular" book. Not everyone likes everything I guess.

  6. Funny. I loved that book but hated the third one. I wished I had stopped after the second book. Happy reading!

    1. Thanks for the follow! I probably won't ever go forward with the series just because I KNOW how it ends and I don't want to go there, especially where the first one was like eh.

  9. I got 50% through Divergent before I had to stop because of the spoilers from Allegiant. I just can't do it now!

  10. Happy Birthday! Too bad you didn't enjoy Divergent. Like most other people commenting here, I enjoyed Divergent, but Insurgent and Allegiant weren't my favorite.

    1. So many that say they didn't like the 2nd and 3rd books. I don't intend to ever finish the series, at least not as of right now. Thanks for stopping by. I will stop by and see you soon!

  11. Hey Happy Friday! and Happy Birthday!! I didn't really ever have an interest in reading Divergent, and I wanted to see the movie until I saw who the lead actress was now I just don't care...

  12. Yay! I SERIOUSLY thought I was the only one that didn't like Divergent - I didn't hate it, but I didn't care enough to pick up the other two. It was just kind of a non-entity to me and my dislike has grown since everyone else seems to love it. :)

  15. Happy Birthday! I haven't read Divergent but with all the movie talk I'm tempted to check it out, however it doesn't sound like something I'd be that keen on either.

    1. I would be interested to see if you liked it or not. The movie hype does nothing for me because I love City Of Bones and everyone trashed that movie (although I thought it wasn't terrible) Thanks for stopping by and for following back!

  16. Happy Birthday!

    While I really liked Divergent, you are not the first person I know who didn't and I respect that! The series dwindled down anyway ;)

  17. I actually haven't read Divergent - so no stone throwing here. I heard from several friends I trust that read similar adult as well as YA books like I do and all agreed it was not worth my time. Thanks for visiting!
