Here we go! It was interesting and sometimes very upsetting to read through some of the negative reviews about the books I love! Come see my reactions here: https://youtu.be/oQwG-dDD7xE

CocoReads Someone gave Educated a 1 Star? That was one of my favorites last year. It was crazy, almost unbelieveable in parts, but so good! 5y

suzie.reads I loved The Whisper Man! 5y

abookishbutterfly @CocoReads A lot of people gave Educated one star. 3,217 people on Goodreads, to be exact. 5y

CocoReads Wow. I rarely read GR reviews so I didn‘t even notice. To me they‘re a lot like Facebook comments. I don‘t need that negativity in my life. 🤣 5y

abookishbutterfly @CocoReads I would not have much of a video here if I didn‘t take a look at those reviews. 😉 I don‘t mind seeing people‘s opposing views, if they express them coherently and respectfully, but some people are so unbelievably nasty. The reviews on Educated were the most upsetting to me but I anticipated that ahead of time. 5y

CocoReads That‘s a good point and I agree for the video, you definitely needed the reviews. And I also don‘t mind a well worded negative review with good coherent arguments but for sure the really nasty ones are what I don‘t like. 5y

Madame Bovary / Madame Bovary | Gustave Flaubert

When Peach was a thing, I used it for posting #BookHate.
~
“I'm sick and cranky so here's some book hate for Madame Bovary. Your ennui is so effing boring that by the time you become interesting I couldn't care less. I'm out of tissue, I want to crawl into my bottle of nighttime cold relief, and I haven't had solid food in days. Send that doc of yours my way.” -me, 2 years ago sometime

Bklover Hope you feel better!!! 6y

RebL @Bklover I‘m totally fine. I updated the description to clarify I posted it on Peach (a short-lived social media platform) two years ago. Thank you so much for checking in with me though. I‘m well, but your comment made me feel spiritually better. 💕 6y

Bklover Oohhhh, I see that now. Well I‘m glad you are fine, and I am still sending warm thoughts 💛! 6y

RebL @Bklover 💛 backatcha 6y

Sace I always loved that cover though. 6y

#unpopularopinion @Libby1
Everyone in my book club loved this one except me 🤷‍♀️.

Libby1 Ha! I hadn‘t heard of this! I was in the same position with my book club with Wild. I DETESTED it.

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

TheRiehlDeal @Libby1 Couldn't agree with you more. I watched the movie first and could not get over the fact of how similar both were. Definitely one of those instances where the movie was better than the book. 7y

Libby1 @TheRiehlDeal - From the moment she started out with a bag that was too heavy and shoes that didn‘t fit I had it in for her. 😂 Prepare! 7y

Jeg Cloud Street. 🙃🙃 7y

MrsMalaprop @Jeg That‘s funny because @CarolynM was saying the same on one of her recent posts about Winton #kindredunpopularopinions 😂 7y

CarolynM @Jeg Snap! I don't get the love for that one at all 7y

Jeg @CarolynM yippee thank you thank you. At long last someone who doesn‘t like that book. 7y

TheWildCard In Cold Blood, and anything written by Hilary Mantel. 7y

MrsMalaprop @TheWildCard I struggled with Wolf Hall, but kinda appreciated it. In Cold Blood is on my bedside #TBR 😬. 7y

EadieB An American Marriage. I hated the characters and thought they were stupid! 7y

EadieB @ThewildCard I hated Hillary Mantel too. I collected all her books. Read Wolf Hall and gave them all away. I had problems wondering who she was talking about. It was not very clear. She would write ‘he said‘ but it was a guess who ‘he‘ was. (edited) 7y

MrsMalaprop @EadieB 😂 I did not get the hype around An American Marriage either. Seems we may have some #booklove or should I say #bookhate in common 🤣. 7y

EadieB @MrsMalaprop whew! Glad to hear that! I thought I was the problem! 7y
