TGIF (2)~Unexpected Books

TGIF is a weekly meme hosted by GReads!

(This meme is on hold right now. I answer previous questions.)

Q. Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?

My Answer: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

I expected this book to be childish. But boy, was I wrong! This book blew my mind! I didn't read it for so long out of fear that I might think it's too childish and not like it whereas everyone loves it. I'm so glad I read it! It's one of my favorite books/series now!

What about you? Have you ever read a book you had reservations for and ended up loving it?

TGIF-1

TGIF is a weekly meme hosted by GReads.

This Friday's question is: 

Love-Hate Relationship: Which characters from a book do you love to hate?

Ans: I love to hate Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries.

I like Elena from the show but book Elena just really pisses me off! I know, I know....she's the main character, the leading lady....how can I hate her? But I do. She's just oh-so-perfect! Everything revolves around her. Every guy in the book is in love with her; Matt, Stefan, Damon, even Shinichi! She takes advantage of her friendship with Bonnie and Meredith. She wants everything to go her way. And why the hell can't she choose between Stefan and Damon! She's getting cozy with both of them and taking advantage of both of them. I think it's pretty obvious now that she's in love with Damon. So why doesn't she let poor Stefan go? I really feel sorry for that guy!

All the book Elena fans out there, I mean no offence. This is just my point of view so just please don't come here and start trashing me! I'm not saying she's all bad. There are some good points about her too..... I just don't like her.

BTW how cool are the pics I used in this post above?! I got them from fanpop but I'm not sure who edited them. But they're pretty well edited! I like the first one!
