It is I, the great Pap- I mean.. The great Clare to bring you something new! A new series so you won't have to wait as long for a new post! Rants. About books.
Now, you might be like, "Clare! But books are perfect!"
Not all of them. There are parts in books where there's no real action, it's just characters talking and talking and talking...
Until you just stop actually processing the words and just skim over them and don't actually take in the story, not like anything's happening in it.
For example: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. This book got a 4/5 from Goodreads, however it did not do so well with me.
I'll get a lot of hate for this won't I..
Don't worry, I tried to make this as spoiler free as possible.
The Hunger Games and Catching Fire were breathtaking, exciting, fast paced! But the last installment, the Hunger Games book without the actual Hunger Games? Not a great one. Just talking and Katniss calling for Peeta. I read it and barely got anything! Just talking, and sadness from certain people.
Another book that kinda bored me: Detectives in Togas by Henry Winterfield. Now, this book did not get a great score on Goodreads. 3.9/5! That's such a big difference! This book also got a 4.3 from Barnes and Noble and a 3.5 from Google Books.
(there's a google books?! they didn't even give it a good rating, and i didnt know they existed. wow.)
This book was clever and funny at some parts, but just plain meh on others! This book isn't black and white like how I'll talk about other books. It's both good and bad. You know some books that don't bore you? The Fault in our Stars! Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Even Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian! Those books do great jobs at not boring you by giving you things to laugh at, things to cry at, things to make you at the edge of your seat- or bed if you read on the bed like me. The Fault in our Stars has comedy and sassiness! The tasks in the Triwizard Tournament have you rooting for a side! Spoilers ahead if you haven't read The Last Olympian, the sadness you feel when you realize May's going to make food every day for a child who'll never come back.
Yeah, go ahead Rick. Slice out my heart, won't you?
Today, I'll give you a question of the day. What book bored you the most?
But yeah, hope you like this new series. Remember, Chess on Sundays, Quidditch Practice on Fridays, and farewell.
