ooo 19 and 20 for the book asks!
19. most disliked popular books? this question is very hard for me to answer because i'm not much of a classics reader and i don't really keep up with newly published books. however i have read a few hyped up ones that, for me, ended up to be a bit bland. namely, the song of achilles by madeline miller. (it was the next gay book i came across after i had finished call me by your name). i remember reading it while i was at the lake with my parents and once i had finished it all i thought was: is this really it?. at first i thought that it was a translation issue, so i asked my mom to read it to get a second opinion. she never finished it lol. my verdict is that i didn't hate it but i didn't really love either, it was just a bit flat and bland. surely it didn't bring me to tears
20. what are things you look for in a book? a story that has a purpose and good prose. the artist in me also looks for a good edition with a good cover :0 (also a good translation if i can't read in the original language)
