I love fantasy, but I did not love Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski. It’s a book series, a game series, a television series. The people can’t get enough of it. I made multiple attempts to get through it, but ultimately admitted I was just never going to like it and DNFed it.

Although this is fantasy, which is mostly what I read, I rarely read middle grade, but I loved Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

I’ve always loved pirates as reckless, feuding, quick-witted characters. I also love the enemies-to-lovers trope. Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller has both, but this book just didn’t do it for me.

I hate insta-love more than any other trope, but I loved The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith. The title gives away that the trope will be present, but she did it in a way that didn’t feel so jarringly, obsessively instant and a bit more probable.

I’ve read a lot of Kurtis J. Wiebe’s books, and the only one I haven’t loved so far is Bounty.

I love Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, but I read the Shadow and Bone trilogy first and found myself losing interest in that storyline as the books went on.

I love this cover, it’s what drew me to this book when I saw it in the store, but I was not invested in the story while I was reading Dark Run by Mike Brooks.

I love this series, and the paperbacks are gorgeous, but I originally read the hardcover version of Delirium by Lauren Oliver. The face close up on all the covers are not my favorite. I’m glad this one made a change when the paperback came out.
