So how did this go? Did you ever manage to finish any of these books?

What a great idea! And what a horrible photo, really freaks me out! LOL Best of luck! :)

Oh GOD you picked some horrors, I commend you.

Evernight was one of those books where I wanted to claw my eyes out whilst I was reading it.

Fire - Read about 40 pages and give up, not my kind of thing in the slightest.

Wicked Lovely - So boring, though everyone seems to LOVE this book.

Vampire Diaries - Kill me, kill me now

The Dark Divine - I would not wish this on my worst enemy, honestly, I didn't even bother to finish it

BUT

City of Bones is the start to an amazing series, her world building is amazing, and her characters undergo some serious development, with some nasty good twists thrown in. I loved this series.

Shiver *sigh* not much plot goes on, but her writing style is so lyrical and beautiful that I feel in love with it despite its many flaws.

This is pretty funny but actually, a great idea too. I loved some of those, so I'm looking forward to finding out whether you can stomach them.

Totally agree with you. It seems like every book I...

2010-02-18T23:58:23.402-05:00

Totally agree with you. It seems like every book I read lately where people are just raving about it I end up hating it. It's happened so many times lately that I had to stop reading YA books for a while

I have not read any of the books on this list, exc...

2010-02-18T23:56:23.654-05:00

I have not read any of the books on this list, except for "The Sisterhood Of the Traveling Pants" books, which I loved :) There are a lot on your list that I have waiting to be read though!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

2010-02-18T00:00:36.036-05:00

LOVE this idea. Shiver was okay for me, as was Wicked Lovely. I liked Fire, though.

Popular titles that would be on my torture list:
The Princess Diaries
Eragon
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging
The Thief Lord
Alanna: The First Adventure
Artemis Fowl

2010-02-17T22:08:27.098-05:00

Lightning Thief is great. Picked it up the day it came out and have loved the series ever since. The others..

Twilight - I've been trying to finish it for two years.

Shiver - I'm sorta interested.

Everything else.. not interested at all.

Good luck with this, looking forward to reviews.

I do say you need to put Need by Carrie Jones on your list if you have not read it already.

2010-02-17T21:18:41.743-05:00

I agree that Evernight and Shiver belong here. They are both, eh, but I didn't see anything to really rave about with either. But since I can enjoy just about any book, I'd still read the sequels if given the chance. Oh, Jessica's Guide was also kinda boring. Plus, it felt like one of those movies where it seemed like it was going to end, and then bam a whole new plot and stuff to work through.

So, what did you do to deserve this? Run over a c...

So, what did you do to deserve this? Run over a cat?

2010-02-17T05:23:10.841-05:00

I've to say that I liked the Twilight series. I also read and enjoyed City of Bones (it has more plot than Twilight).

About the Vampire Diaries I have to admit that was one of the most boring books I've read. I only read the first one and I don't want to try the others ^^

Good luck with your challenge!

2010-02-17T04:23:45.448-05:00

I agree with Rebecca that Eragon should be on your list. That's one I will NEVER EVER read.

2010-02-17T03:18:01.199-05:00

Good luck! Twilight may not be the best book, but it is a fast read. I hope you find at least one or two books from this challenge that you somewhat enjoyed. Plus, I hope you do some reviews for these books because I have a feeling they would be hilarious.

2010-02-17T00:49:16.662-05:00

How about... have you read any of these:
A Great and Terrible Beauty (I kinda liked this series until the AWFUL ENDING)
The Luxe (I actually do like these, but they are rather soap opera-y)
The Princess Diaries series (liked this series at first but it went on too long)
House of Night (didn't even try these - yuck)
Maximum Ride series (another I didn't bother with, lol)
Eragon (not awful but couldn't get into it...)
anything by Ellen Hopkins (I do not get why these are so popular - I can't stand to read something SO depressing!)
Artemis Fowl
Evermore

2010-02-17T00:42:28.838-05:00

Out of the ones I've read, Wicked Lovely is my favorite.
Vampire Diaries - Elena is a shallow bitch. Don't give up after the 1st book. The characters progress through the series so give it a chance.
Twilight - Eclipse is funny, if you can make it that far, don't read BD. It was not the best.
Shiver - Has its flaws. But I liked it overall.
City of Bones - Interesting twist. Some of the characters got on my nerves.

I'm curious to see what your opinions are on all of them.

2010-02-17T00:07:23.210-05:00

Twilight was okay, but didn't love it. Too much drama. Shiver was supposed to be good, but I dropped it halfway :( Same with The Lightning Thief. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Wicked Lovely were both awesome, though <3 Good luck with your challenge ;)

2010-02-16T23:54:52.407-05:00

I love how you do crazy things like this. Though I really did like some of the books you listed like City of Bones. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the reviews on these.

2010-02-16T23:28:42.018-05:00

I like Vampire Diaries, City of Bones, Wicked Lovely,Evernight, Percy Jackson, and the first book of Twilight saga.

2010-02-16T23:28:25.877-05:00

I have NO idea why you would put yourself through that.

But I must admit that I'm looking forward to the carnage.

(Although, for the record, The Lightning Thief = AWESOME. Really.)

(also: I agree that Beautiful Creatures should be added to that list.)
