Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
From pg. 225
I'll admit that I noticed him right away--he was sitting on an expensive-looking lounge chair, and I thought he was cute. Okay, fine, I thought he was gorgeous.
Top Ten Best/Worst Series Enders
Another confession. I'm pretty terrible about finishing series. I will read the first one or two, and never get around to the last. I am sure there are others I would put on this list if I ever manage o finish that final book.The Best:
Yes the epilogue kind of sucked, but as an overall book, I kind of loved it. Yes it was sad, and yes I cried my eyes out in parts, but I really miss this series.
I stayed away from all information on the end of this series, and I'm glad I did. I was able to form my own opinion without being influenced by anyone else. I really thought it was a great and satisfying ending to the series.
This almost didn't make the list. I just really enjoyed how everything ended, and it helped knowing that we weren't having to say goodbye to the characters forever. Until Hawkins announced that the new series was DOA. Then I wasn't so happy.
Is including this as a series cheating? I'm going with no. I was so happy to read this and knowing what happens with Adam and Mia. I love this book, and it was a perfect ending. I never felt the need for another.
This is how you have an open ending done well. It was a beautiful end to a beautiful series.
Ruby Oliver in all her neurotic glory went out with a bang. At the end of the day, I really felt she would be o.k. What more could you ask for?
I thought the 9th book in the series was the best of the bunch, but this one was great too. The perfect ending fit for a fairytale.
The Worst:
Gosh I hated this book. I wanted to toss it across the room on multiple occasions. It was just so, so stupid. I hated it so much I still can't bring myself to watch the movies. This was one of those books where I wanted my time back after I finished it. I get mad when I think about this book.
One of my fist reviews for this blog was about how much I hated this book. The bottom line is there is a way to have an open ending and a way not to. This is perfect example of how NOT to do an open ending. I really, really hated this book.
I was so disappointed in the end of the series. I though this book was poorly paced and just weird and boring. Plus Lydia and Seb! Why?
Love the cover on your teaser book! I read If I Stay, but couldn't get into Where She went. Glad to here you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser....
LOL. I love the humor in the teaser.
ReplyDeleteI’m reading 2 books this week. So here are mine:

Yay, I'm glad someone else has the Princess Diaries on their list. I also have HP down as a best ending and I'm not sure about the Hunger Games series. I find it so hard to come to one conclusion when I'm caught between liking parts of it and wanting to know more about others.
ReplyDeleteHuh - I had Spellbound on my list of the worst. Mostly because of how the love triangle was resolved. I really, REALLY hated it. :(

You have several series that are still on my TBR list. I need to read the last book in the HP series and I still have to start the Hex Hall and Mercy Falls series.
ReplyDeleteI included Mockingjay and Requiem on my list as well. http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/10/top-ten-tuesday-bestworst-series-endings.html
I'm so nervous to read Requiem after seeing it on so many worst lists this week! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI've read several YA books recently and thoroughly enjoyed them. This sounds like a good one too.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
Hey, I'll go from cute to gorgeous for a hero any day.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser. Please check out my teaser.
Nice picks! Really seeing a lot of mixed placings of Mockingjay and a lot of people aren't seeming to like Lauren Oliver's ending. My sister still needs to read that one, wondering what she will think since she's not avid as a reader as we all are!
ReplyDeleteSeeing mixed feelings over Forever, I think I liked it myself, it's been so long since I read it though! Seeing lots of Harry love! Loved it too! Forgot about Spell Bound myself. I was a bit heartbroken by it myself, but I still enjoyed it!
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Deathly Hallows was amazing! I'm currently reading Forever ;)
ReplyDelete-Scott Reads It!
There are a bunch of series in your "best" section that I'm looking forward to reading - even more now (Hex Hall, If I Stay, the Maggie Stiefvaters...). Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Breaking Dawn in a few other people's worst for the TTT, but I hadn't thought of it myself! Though it's been years since I read them and I was 14 at the time.. I really loved it though! Forever is a really great addition to the best category, I don't know why I didn't think of it myself!
