NOPE Book Tag

2nd post of the week! This is the NOPE Book Tag that I found on the Book Nut. Enjoy!

1) Ending

A book ending that made you go NOPE either in denial, rage, or simply because the ending was crappy.

Just why. I ship Eadlyn with Kyle, not Eikko the random translator that she had like one conversation with 🙄

2) Protagonist

A main character you dislike and drives you crazy.

I ended up liking Mare eventually, but she was infuriating in Glass Sword, I can't deny it. All that "I am the lightning girl" and "I can't die, I'm special" stuff was sooo annoying, but she gets sooo much better in King's Cage.

3) Series

A series that turned out to be one huge pile of NOPE. after you’ve invested all of that time and energy on it, or a series you gave up on because it wasn’t worth it anymore.

I haven't read a series that was totally horrible, because I would probably dnf. But this is the closest. It was okay but boring and just eh at some points. I forced my way through that monster long last book for the spin off duology which was amazing.

4) Popular Pairing

A "ship" you don't support.

Easy—Romione.

5) Plot Twist

A plot twist you didn't see coming or didn't like.

I've never heard anyone talking about acotar having a plot twist, so I was gobsmacked when the whole curse thing came out, I was like wHaT iN tHe WoRLD!??! But then I realised I was being stupid because it's a beauty and the beast retelling so duh.

6) Protagonist action/decision

A character decision that made you shake your head NOPE.

NOT MARE, I'm talking about Elara. I want to kill her for her actions towards Maven. HE WAS A BABY FOR GOD'S SAKE. I hate her with a burning passion for hurting my Maven.

7) Genre

A genre you will never read.

Well never say never, but I'm a scaredy-cat so I'm keeping a healthy distance from horror 😱

8) Book Format

Book formatting you hate and avoid buying.

I just can't listen to audiobooks!! I have never bought an audiobook and I don't think I ever will.

9) Trope

A trope that makes you go NOPE.

The miscommunication trope is the bane of my existence. I hate it with a sizzling rage.

10) Recommendation

A book recommendation that is constantly hyped and pushed at you that you simply refuse to read.

Just no. I've had enough of Rainbow Rowell. And Drarry is just not for me, but if I want it I'll go to Wattpad.

11) Cliche/Pet peeve

A cliche or writing pet peeve that always makes you roll your eyes.

I've said this before but "she peered up at him through her lashes". 😒

12) Love Interest

A character you don't think should have been a viable love interest.

Tamlin, but in his defense, SJM really did him dirty. BTW I ship Tamlin's future daughter with Nyx. That would be the cutest forbidden love story ever.

13) Book

A book that shouldn't exist and made you say NOPE.

😠😡💢

14) Villain

A scary villain/antagonist you would hate to cross and would make you run in the opposite direction.

Sophia from The Belles duology is just scary. She's a really well done villain though, props to Ms Clayton. She's just unhinged. *shudder

15) Death

A character death that still haunts you.

Dobby, Sirius, Fred, Lupin, Tonks - HP

The Darkling - Ruin and Rising

16) Author

An author you had a bad experience reading for and have decided to quit.

Penelope Douglas. Scarred for life from Credence. Also K.A. Knight from Den of Vipers 😬😩

Thanks for reading the book tag!! As always, any requests go in the comments ❤️

happy reading 💞
