1. A Popular book or series that you didn't like
Don't kill me, but here's a small list I somehow compile:
Evermore Series
House of Night series
House of Night series
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Goddess Test Trilogy
Tryille Trilogy
Attachments
The Grisha Trilogy (Its iffy because I'm on the last book, but I got bored with it while reading the second book. Yet, I'm excited to read the Six of Crows. Maybe I'll read the last book soon.)

2. A popular book or series everyone seem to hate, but you love?
I'm pretty much neutral when it comes to dealing with enjoying and disliking popular series among our book reviewing community. But, I really enjoyed Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett and the Mara Dyer trilogy by Michelle Hodkin. Both received very mixed reviews on good reads, but I thought they were great books, especially since I'm a lover for horror focused novels.
3. A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person you did NOT want them to end up with OR an OTP that you don't like.
I don't really care for love triangles.. As long as it's being done really well in the book and the characters are not crazily idiotic, then I don't mind it. Most of the time I don't really focus or realize that they're in books so oops. In real life, they are not real things unless your inner group of humans enjoys the crap load of drama, so what's the point of them to begin with? Just stick to one person or have no romance in your book. And as for OTPs, I could go on for days on who I don't like together, but that would take another blog post discussion in the near to go over with you guys. Sorry. :P
4. A popular book genre that you hardly reach for.
Contemporary. I've never read a huge reader of that genre. If I like the premise of the novel, then I'll probably pick it up to try out. Its also the same with the High Fantasy genre. Though I've actually started reading some books from this genre; even though I am impatient with the density of some of the descriptions and plot of the story. There's always room to expend in the reading world right?
5. A popular or beloved character that you don't like.
Hmm, this one is pretty tricky because I had to explore the depths of my goodreads page to remember most of the characters from various books. But then, I remembered Wendy Everly from the Trylle trilogy. She was one of the worst character I've ever encountered. I lost my patience with her every time she was doing something. Umm who else.. Oh I also don't like Kate from The Goddess test series, and the main girl from the Shiver trilogy. I lost my patience with them like I did with Wendy.. There's a lot of characters I rather hit, but I don't want to list them all. I'll make a blog post eventually about them. :P
6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into.

6. A popular author that you can't seem to get into.
I had to think of it for a while. But, I really don't care for authors like John Green, Kiera Cass, or Jenny Han. I may give them a chance, but I can't right now. I'm also very, very iffy with Cassandra Clare and Rick Riordan. With Cassandra Clare, I only read up to book four in the TMI series and I've been avoiding it lately since I have a lot of books I do want to read. Rick Riordan is pretty the same thing. I will read more from them soon, but not right now because I'm edging for more adult styled books. Also don't kill me when I also mention Tolkin because if you sat in my fantasy class in college and listened about the comparisons of it to Harry Potter over and over again, then you understand my hatred for the Lord of the Ring trilogy.. I almost chucked my book at someone's skull in class because I got so annoyed and the majority of the book was dense with the overload of walking they did while finding the damn thing.
7. A popular book trope that you're tired of seeing. (examples 'lost princess', corrupt ruler, love triangles, etc).
Ohh I'm going to attack this question because I have a lot of hatred for many tropes in books. I can tolerate them if they are presented well, but damn let the attacking begin. I hate the 'held my breath I didn't realize I had' one, the virgin Mary (loosing it to their one true love), the portrayal of sex (go to magical molly and Emmma Books's channels for this one because I agree with them 100%.), the lack of diversity in the characters in looks because people create the standard 'good looking' shit-tards with unrealistic appearances and attitudes. I hate how the boy changes a girl's life completely trope. Girl, go find yourself a girlfriend, or a book or do you first. Be a queen and make the boy change for you instead. Too many, just too many.. >->
8. A popular series that you have no interest in reading.
Umm.. I'm not sure, I'll get back to you on that one in another post? Sorry, I can't think of anything at the moment.
9. The saying goes 'The book is always better than the movie', but what movie or T.V show adaption did you prefer more than the book?
The Maze Runner, hands down. The trilogy was good and a quick read, but I ended up giving it to my little sister because my tastes in books changed a little bit and I realized it was too meyhh for me. But the movie was so exciting and fast paced. Dylan was awesome as Thomas, and his handsome appearance.. Yum.. just saying. And The Book Thief. I love both equally. The director and the actors did a beautiful job in creating an adaption to such a beautiful book. I'll admit that they did leave a few things out from the book, but it was still a beautiful movie.
