Question: 
Q: Q: Have you broken up with a series? If so which one and why?

Sadly yes I have broken up with a couple of series:



Fallen by Lauren Kate
I just found this one to be so boring, nothing really happened and I just couldn't be bothered to continue. I keep saying maybe one day I'll check the next book out, but I know I won't.






Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
This book was so frustrating, all I wanted to do was slap Beth for being so stupid (and I NEVER want to slap heroines!)

    I haven't read either of these yet... but I have been wanting to read Fallen for a long time now. I wonder if I'll quit it too!!

      Maybe you'll have better luck with them than me - I here Fallen is being made into a movie, so there must be some people out there that enjoyed the series :)

    Hi Amy,
    Thanks for the follow.
    I am now one of your followers.
    Nice blog. I believe that Fallen and Halo are quite popular.
    But I haven't read any of them, or maybe I'll never read them.
    Happy Friday Amy. Nice to meet you.

      Thanks! I really thought I would enjoy these books, especially since they are quite popular, but sadly they just weren't for me :(
      Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!

      I almost got the 2nd book, but from the reviews I read I didn't think I was going to like it any more than the 1st one sadly. Thanks for following!

    Hi Amy, thanks for following. I'm following via Bloglovin & Google + also. I haven't read those series but what a shame they disappointed you. What a great idea for a FF post, characters you want to slap! I'm sure that would bring up a lively discussion.

    Aww kind of sucks because I have wanted to read the Fallen series! I may still read them but won't go in with any expectations. It's good to know beforehand if their worth all the hype! Great FF, have a great weekend!

      Maybe that was my problem - I had very high exceptions for Fallen and was let down. Maybe you'll enjoy more than I did! Have a great week :)

    I haven't yet started the Halo series though I do own all the books. And I really enjoyed Fallen when I read it way back when. I'm not so sure I would anymore given all the amazing stories involving angel lore that have been written since. And I was not a fan of the sequel in that series, but am still going to try to finish it without a breakup. Though it may very well end up on that list.

    Happy Follow Friday. Thanks for the follow. Am following via Bloglovin!

      There are some much better angel books now - I love the Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica Shirvington, so now I compare all angel books to them!

    I read Fallen till the 3rd book. 4th I just couldn't get into and haven't been able, nor do I want to finish it. Haven't and refuse to read Halo lol. It does have an incredibly beautiful cover though...What a shame.

      I think I was fooled by the cover of Halo - so disappointing! It's probably a good decision to avoid that series!

    I stop after a lot of book ones, but I don't even consider that breaking up (more just a bad blind date). But after book 2 I'm generally continuing the series. I don't really know why I do that.

      Haha that's so true - very bad blind dates!!! Once I'm invested into a series I like to know what happens too, even if it has gotten boring, it's hard to stop without knowing how it all ends!

    I just got fallen from the library, but after seeing how big it was I requested the audio book LMAO. Hopefully I'll have better luck listening to it.

    Thanks for stopping by mine!! And I love your banner =D

      Mmm, that's a good idea, maybe I should get the audio for the rest of the series, because I do hate not knowing how it all finishes!

    Those series never interested me so I guess it is good that you broke up with them. Thanks for sharing and visiting my FF. New GFC follower. =]

    I'm starting to feel pretty awful about my super long break up list! I keep saying I'm going to start Fallen but the reviews are so wishy washy I just keep pushing it further and further down my TBR list. :-/

    Thank you so much for dropping by my blog this week! And for giving me a meaty comment!

      I have a lot of books like that too - some have been on my TBR list for years, but I always seem to find other more important books to read first!!

      Thanks for stopping by - have a lovely week :)

    Hi! Just Hopping though. Never have read any of the new crop of "Angel" lore books. I guess I'm a little wary. I keep meaning to try them out though and Fallen was going to be the guinea pig...hmmm, not so sure about that now.

      I didn't really think about these both being 'angel' books...maybe angel stories just aren't my thing...mmm. Maybe you'll have more luck with them! :)

    I know what you mean. I tried both and felt the same way. I was so excited for both when they came out because of the great covers and the hype but they were disappointing.

      Yes, I feel so disappointed when a book has such an amazing cover and everyone is taking it up, and then it just doesn't live up to my expectations.
