Combining #SoaringScores #DarcysLetter with a Litsyversary shoutout to @shadowspeak17 🥳🥳🥳 congrats #UnpopularOpinionGiveaway

1. Most serious readers dislike the idea of modern adaptations of the classics but for me, I PREFER them to the originals. I find the Re-tellings more approachable and both more relatable & enjoyable 😉#BookishUnpopularOpinion
2. 3 books on my radar are The Dearly Beloved, The Only Plane in the Sky & By The Book 👇🏼

Congrats @shadowspeak17 on your #literversary and thank you for hosting this awesome #unpopularopiniongiveaway

1. My opinion is that I think fan fiction can be just as good as a book.
2. Guess Who (Chris McGeorge), Watching You (Lisa Jewel), and #MurderTrending (Gretchen McNeill)

BONUS
1. I don‘t like To Kill A Mockingbird, while most people love it and I like Twilight, while most people dislike it.
2. @ChasingOm

Bonus Round

1. A popular book in my hometown I despise is by a woman I know. She ridiculed & humiliated a teacher my kid loved who then quit teaching, in a so-called Christian memoir Sparkly Green Earrings.
2. I really enjoyed the tagged book—one I was sure Littens would like—but it has received 50% Litsy love. My mom (we share literary tastes) even bailed on it!
3. @GingerAntics @Eggs @TheSpineView
@shadowspeak17 #unpopularopiniongiveaway

1. I‘ve two in this category: Wolf Hall (Mantel) and The Poisonwood Bible (Kingsolver). I always struggle with which one I dislike the most. But I won‘t read either author again.
2. Tombland by CJ Sansom (photo from Amazon), Crucible by James Rollins, Relic by Douglas Preston
3. @shadowspeak17 #unpopularopiniongiveaway

Thanks for the opportunity and what a wonderful idea because it is so true.

1st things 1st, my unpopular opinion! It‘s UNPOPULAR, potential Litsy scorn would be well earned! But it‘s “re-reading is bad as life is too short and you‘ll die before you get your TBR pile polished off and new worthwhile books come out every week!” I understand for many rereading is a comfort but not for me! #unpopularopiniongiveaway @shadowspeak17 this is very generous and I‘m excited for the discussion. @SamTwedt for bonus entry.

For my #litsyversary I wanted to host a #giveaway to celebrate one of the things I really appreciate about Litsy: the ability to share unpopular opinions without getting bashed for them.

Reposting for anyone who hasn‘t seen this. I‘m giving away my copy of The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. So far, no one‘s entered, so chances of winning are pretty good. 😂 To enter, make a post telling me one of your recent unpopular opinions (positive or negative), tag me, and use the hashtag #unpopularopiniongiveaway.
