Follow Friday #30

Photobucket

Follow Me Friday is a book meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read. #FF is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. In order to join in the fun, all you need is well . . . A book blog :)


The question this week is:


What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?

 
My answer:

Mmmm, let me think for a second... Goodreads.. help!!!

Okay, so after looking at my read GR list, I came up with this:

Why? Because it totally dunked my expectations. I though it would be a real assassin story, full of conspiracies and stuff... but no. I was seriously disappointed.


Well, what's your answer?

Please leave links to your FF's, so I can stop by!! Oh, and if you're a new follower, let me know so I could return the favor!

  1. Oh darn. I loved this story. But we can't all like the same stuff. To answer your questions I'm not entirely sure who liked Twilight....must be someone out there haha.

  2. Yeah, I agree with you here. So much hype about this one, yet when I read the cover back I was just kind of blah. And I have no time whatsoever for blah books.

    Here's my Follow Friday

    1. To be honest, after reading the back cover, I was also left with the impression that it wouldn't be something remotely interesting. Still though I thought I'd give it a chance... turned out I shouldn't have. Grave Mercy was a billion times better.

  3. Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I just don't what the big appeal is about 50 Shades, but its always good to meet people who appreciate *real* books! Thanks for following, doing the same back!

  7. I found it disappointing as well. There was not NEARLY enough assinating (let's pretend that's a word) for my taste.

    1. I agree. The one assassin in the book didn't bother killing anyone. How lame could that get?

  9. LOL. You're the second person who has said Throne of Glass on this meme...but I have heard the same things too. I heard either you loved the book or hated it.

    1. IKR? I was expecting so much drama, and there was none. Compared to Grave Mercy... well I can't really compare them.

  15. Yeah it did the same for me as well. I was really disappointed in the fact that I found several quotes that matches Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder almost word for word.
    Thanks for stopping by my page. Sorry I got back to you so late.
