I Loved More Than I Thought I Would
Which books did you love more than you thought you would? Which ones did you love less?

I guess I could almost say the same about Harry Potter! Wayyyy back when I didn’t think I would like a book that was about a boy! LOL! I was weird. I wanted to read about a girl because I usually place myself as the heroine when reading! Still do sometimes! LOL!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I didn’t love Outlander either. I just couldn’t get into it.
I LOVED Somebody Like You! It was such a good story and I’m really excited about the rest of the series. Ellie Alexander is also a favorite and The Land of Stories is on my TBR. Love the covers!
I haven’t read a single one of these, Charlie, but a few are either on my shelf already or on my tbr. Wonder and Outlander are ones I’d really like to get read this year. 🙂
Wonder and Outlander are both books that I really want to read. Considering reading Wonder with my language arts class next year at our homeschool co-op.
I didn’t jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon right away. I was really hesitant to try them, but once I did (about the time the fourth book came out), I fell in love. I have a Ravenclaw lanyard I wear to work with my ID badge on it even. 🙂 I loved Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Great list, Charlie!
Nice picks! When I first read the first Harry Potter book, I thought it was OK but didn’t get what everyone was raving about — probably because at the time, I was experiencing sky-high anxiety and frequent panic attacks, and couldn’t really concentrate on anything. I read it again after our daughter fell in love with the series a few years later (and after my anxiety had been brought down to manageable levels), and I was totally hooked.
The Donna Alward book was unexpectedly charming, too (as are the two that follow it.)
Hi! Wonder is a book a lot of the middle school students I teach like. I should probably read it. haha. Looking For Alaska was my first John Green book. I really liked it, although it made me pretty depressed. 🙂
