Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.

Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.

What book is a zero star read for you?

    This would have been my pick. I read it for a book club, and it got absolutely eviscerated, to the point that I felt sorry for the person who nominated it - not that anyone was rude about it, but we clearly all hated it.

      The discussion for this book was my last straw for a book club I was in for about a half a year. I was the only one who thoroughly disliked it. The thing that was crazy about it was that it was obvious that everybody else in the book club had already read the book multiple times, thought of it as one of their favorites, and would defend it to their grave. I guess I’m just old fashioned in my perspective that book clubs shouldn’t be a bunch of people sitting around gushing over their most favorite, repeat reads… That’s what fan clubs are for.
