Book Blogger Hop #13

Book Blogger Hop #13
A weekly meme hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy For Books


I know I haven't done this in a while, but I felt like doing it this week. I may start making this a regular thing again, but we'll see how it works out! 
Q. How do you handle the writing of a negative review?
Well, to be perfectly honest; I don't really write negative reviews. I don't write a review for a book that I'd give under three stars. If I don't like a book, or if I really just can't get into it, I don't read it. It's plain as that. I'm not going to waste my time reading a book that I don't really like when there are so many amazing books out there and my TBR list is overflowing! I do keep track of the books that I don't finish, though, and I write a few things about it that I may not have liked and then try and write at least a few things about it that I may have liked. Say it has a horrible plot line, but has great writing. I write that in there. That's all I really do.

  4. Like you, I generally don't start a book that doesn't sound interesting to me, so my negative reviews are few and far between.

  5. Yes, I agree with everything you said. I think there was one book I posted that was 2 stars. (The Story of Us by Deb Caletti) I seriously wanted to DNF it, but I had to finish it for a book report. But yeah, I usually don't finish books I don't like.

    1. You didn't care for The Story of Us? =( I've been dying to read that. I have only read one of Deb's books, which was her last one STAY, and I loved it. I'll still read it, but hopefully I do like it. I'm sorry you didn't want to finish it. =(

      I need to get my hands on a copy!
