I feel they're very hyped and overrated. The insta love was just damn annoying :( So you're not the only one.

Yeah Song of Ice and Fire is so long and I always forget everything and have to reread every time a new book comes out and it's getting to be a bit ridiculous.

I'd also need my own copy; trying to finish a 1000+-page library book in 3 weeks is a recipe for stress (for me, anyway; I'm not a particularly fast reader).La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-542636381425288772015-05-05T15:37:12.482-07:002015-05-05T15:37:12.482-07:00I completely agree with you on Fifty Shades of Gra...I completely agree with you on <i>Fifty Shades of Gray</i>. Abusive relationships aren't the kind of things I want to read in books, so I'm staying clear of this one too.<br /><br />I can completely see why you're so hesitant about <i>Les Mis</i>. It's so long, but it's completely worth it. As someone who has not only read it but is an avid theater geek as well, I actually found that the book & musical were shockingly similar. The musical takes out some of the unnecessary details, but the book goes much more in depth if you're into that. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices! ♥Zoe N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08980248647201093593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-69511663117041941562015-05-05T11:12:59.665-07:002015-05-05T11:12:59.665-07:00I have no idea why it exists.

I'm sure there's all sorts of issues with sexism, rape culture, etc. that could be discussed (which is, possibly, the book's only saving grace: it gets people talking about uncomfortable topics).La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107652553845392650.post-2398078312318118742015-05-05T10:46:06.835-07:002015-05-05T10:46:06.835-07:00I'm with you on Les Mis.
