Yesterday I shared my top 10 books of the year and today I am sharing those books that I didn’t like! I don’t want to call them worst because I know many will like some of them so I am not judging the books or those who love them. Here are these books!
1- Jellicoe Road
2- And I Darken
3- Ace of Shades
4- Strange Grace
5- The Handmaid’s Tale
6- Blanca & Roja
7- Seafire
8- The Witch Elm
9- Bridge of Clay
10- War Storm
So these were the books that I didn’t enjoy this year. I am not going to explain why here because I already have rant reviews for these that you can see here or on my GR!
Do you like any of these? Or did any of them not work for you too!
Share your opinions with me below!

The Handmaid’s tale writing style was just not for me! I completed it but was distracted throughout the book 😦
And I Darken is for historical fiction fans which I discovered that 90% of the time is not for me

hmmm interesting! I haven’t read it, honestly, but I am intrigued, is it like heavy like an old classic?
I am judging for the cover as I haven’t even read the synopsis haha but I like historical fiction, so at least, one more thing that I know about the book haha

Handmaid’s Tale is one of those books i really enjoyed when i read them. Then i saw the tv series and it was even more enjoyable, so now i’m just confused 😀

I’ll be honest, I was really worried about Bridge of Clay because it was so hyped up and I don’t know anybody who wasn’t moved by a The Book Thief. I definitely want to check out your full reviews on these!

It’s a shame there were so many books you didn’t enjoy this year! At least the contrast between these ones and the good ones will make the best look even better 🙂

I read And I Darken and just didn’t like it either! I was disappointed because of the hype around it. I also haven’t bothered with War Storm yet because I barely made it through the third book. 🤷🏻♀️

I don’t know why, but the writing did not work for me. I kept falling asleep and felt it was so slow! I also wasn’t a fan of the ending!

Yaay!
I like it when other readers have similar taste as me.
I wish I had stopped at book 2 and I should have expected it by book 3 but I was fool enough to continue :(((

I explained why in my review, but mainly because it was confusing and slow…?

I am sorry but the good thing is that they were unpopular opinions so there are good chances you will like them more (I hope so).

I totally agree with Warstorm- it was so long! It’s a shame you didn’t like And I Darken but historicals aren’t for everyone. These are my worst books of 2018.
