I have seen so many posts of people shitting on popular books so I need to hear some of your favourite ones.

For me I believe that the A Good Girls Guide To Murder series is amazing and deserves all the love in the world

It has a incredible plot with so many fun and well written characters that I found quite relatable, the entire series is just fantastic and is one of my all time favourite mystery series

    I wish I liked it. I couldn’t even finish the first book, which was a huge bummer, considering how much everyone seems to love it. I was prepared for it to be a new favorite, but it was just… lame

      You are not alone. I thought the first book was awful. I made it through, but only because the other book I was reading at the time was worse. Between “vomit zombies”, horrible physics, juvenile humor once the protagonist gets a girl friend, and the entire plot based on how the crew always makes the right decision (everyone else being wrong and being convicted to help them), I was just happy to be done with it.

        omg i actually love the expanse but i also feel like i’m decently versed in physics and that the expanse does it much better than a lot of the other sci-fi i’ve read. mind if i ask what about that you didn’t like?

          Basically the plan to crash an asteroid into the sun was just plain dumb and everyone went along with it. The was nothing reality based about the physics of that one. And, plot-wise, the whole plan was completely unnecessary.
