I’m not sure if I’m picky or what but have received too many recs that I hated lately.
Here are some of my favorite and least liked popular books from the the last many years.
Loved:
Basically All Sanderson (frugal wizard was lame)
All Blake Crouch (except Desert Places, dark/creepy)
The Will of the Many
Scythe Series
Starter Villain
Martian, Project Hail Mary, Artemis
The Enderverse
Gone girl
Bird box
A man called ove
The Lies of Locke Lamora (book 2 disappointed)
I love sci fi and fantasy fiction, plus the occasional thriller. Added humor is great but not required.
Highly recommended books I disliked:
Fourth Wing (too much emotional/relationship teen drama)
Unsouled
LOTR
The Name of the Wind
Three Body Problem
The Last Apprentice series
Shutter Island
Mystic River
Eye of the World
I generally don’t like YA fiction or overly dark stuff. Slow moving books are a big no. Too much juvenile emotional/relationship drama is another no. Language isn’t an issue but too much spicy content is a no as well.
Lastly, books I’ve read but was neutral on. Just listing so they aren’t re-recommended.
Murderbot series
Mickey 7
Sharp objects
Silent patient
Listen for the lie
Children of Time
Dune
Legend series
Anxious people
Redshirts
And many more but this hopefully knocks out some recs that may have come my way.
If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU.
