1. For some reason I really loved An AmericanGirl series but also anything from Roald Dahl.
2. This is two hard to narrow to just one: six of Crows duology, Blood for Blood, Emma in the Night, The Language of Thorns and so on lol.
3. My lost hated is the characters from 50 Shades and Umbridge from HP.
4. 50 Shades. (Terrible writing)
5. Uh Most people have done it so if you haven‘t I tag you!

Thanks for the tag @GypsyKat

JenlovesJT47 Good choices!! ❤️ 7y
GypsyKat Umbridge is the worst! And I can‘t even bring myself to read 50 Shades. 🙈 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @GypsyKat I only read the first one in the series because I wanted to know why everyone loved it and it was just terrible. I have nothing against sex scenes in books, it was grammar and writing that made me cringe. 7y

GypsyKat @That-Bookish-Hiker I have nothing against sex scenes in books either, but I do have a problem with romanticizing abusing or controlling relationships. I read about the book, and I couldn‘t bring myself to read it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @GypsyKat I really don‘t like that in books either. I read this one book that romanticized sex and human trafficking and was disgusted. How is that romantic?! Those things are serious and people deal with those issues daily. 7y
GypsyKat @That-Bookish-Hiker I completely agree! 7y

UDL: 7.1 Optimize individual choice & autonomy 1.1 Offer ways of customizing the display of information 3.3 Guide information processing, visualization, and manipulation
