Follow Friday #14


Follow Friday! Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. It's a great way to meet new blogger friends!

This weeks featured blog is Read, Breathe, Relax.

Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

The Magicians

A: I am not sure of the worst book I have read but The Magicians by Lev Grossman is certainly in the list of the not so  great books. I read this book because it was supposed to be a grownup Harry Potter and it was not. I just could not get into this book.  

What's the worst book that you've ever read?

  4. Don't know this one. Why am I not surprised that most of the books I've seen on FF I've never heard of. Guess bad books don't get around much. Makes sense.

  8. I can see why you'd be attracted to the book. I would've picked it up if it were a grown-up Harry Potter. Too bad it didn't turn out.

  9. Hi!
    I've never heard of this book before, but I would've picked it up if it was advertised as a grown up version of Harry Potter. False advertisement is always annoying.

    Have a great weekend!

  12. Hey! Old follower hopping by. :)

    I usually don't finish the books I don't like, but I do have a few I've tried to force read through.

    Hope you have a great weekend! My worst read can be found here.

  15. Hi! Just hopping through!!!

    I dislike it when publishers try to make a book sound like something like. Like a "grown up harry potter". It never lives up to that!

    Anyways. I'm a new follower. Hope to see you around!
