The Book Sacrifice Tag

While this is a blog rather than a BookTube channel, I love the tags done on BookTube and wanted to jump in myself in blog form.  I wanted to start off with the Book Sacrifice tag, created by Ariel Bissett.  Take a look at her video, then scroll down for my answers! 

1) An Over-Hyped book: HA this is easy, as it's currently #1 on my over-hyped hate list.  Truthwitch by Susan Dennard.  Everyone raves about this book, but as you already know based on my earlier unpopular opinion post, I couldn't stand it (or even finish it for that matter).  Zombies, you're going down. 

2) A Sequel: Typically sequels are a letdown for me, with both books and movies.  One that comes to mind immediately is The Nightmare Dilemma by Mindee Arnett.  I absolutely adored The Nightmare Affair and was excited to jump into this one, but it paled in comparison, and I couldn't even finish it, let alone move on to the third book The Nightmare Charade.  Such a letdown.  I would totally sacrifice this book to protect my hair. 

3) A Classic: There were a few I could have chosen here, but overall I do enjoy most classics.  I would have to go with Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.  It was long and confusing and the characters were weird (but not in a good way) and overall I could not wait for this book to be over.  And the thing with the old wedding cake?  Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.  DISTURBING. 

4) Your least favorite book of life: Oh man, this could also be considered as a classic, and I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to use it above or for this one, but it really and truly is my least favorite book of life.  For this I would immediately burn The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.  I HATED this book.  Everything about it was just terrible.  The main character Holden is the most annoying character ever created, and all he does is whine and complain.  Burning this one first for sure!
