What is a book you didn’t like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn’t popular?
~ I loved The Scarlett Letter even when I had to read it in school. The way that this book was written romanticized the past- culture- for me. Not as in I thought it romantic, but more it gave me an impression that stuck with me for years to come. Hester is such a strong leading lady.

I read the first book in a YA series involving vampires running a town. (Don't remember the series.) It's a popular series but I found most of the characters annoying. Most of their problems stemmed from not talking to one another and that just drives me nuts. Say something!
Thanks for stopping by - happy to return the follow. I have to admit, for one of those "forced to read in high school" books, The Scarlet Letter was quite good.
You can check out my answer here
Donna Tartt's Secret History. I totally could not like this book much as I tried, much less the characters and their situation! But I'm in the minority!
Take care

Dan Simmons is really popular but I found The Terror to be overlong and boring.
I haven't read The Scarlet Letter. I should read it.

Hopping through. I didn't read The Scarlet Letter in school. It's one of those classics that I feel like I should read.

Lots of luck to Mary on her new book!
One of the books everyone loved that I couldn't get into at all was Gone With the Wind. Even after I watched the movie, I still couldn't read the book.
I haven't read that book yet, even though its on my TBR pail.
Following you back :)
I had a hard time getting into the Scarlet Letter but once I did I ended up actually really enjoying it.
