Book Dragons discussion

Tell us what books to avoid so we don't make the same mistake!

Stay away from Graceling. It has a horrible message and sex scenes. Not something I want to read!

Agreed Emily. I haven’t heard a lot of good things about that book.
Stay away from Allegiant. The first two were good but I despise that one. It ruined everything.

Is that part of the Divergence series? I read the first book in January but probably not going to finish the series.

Im sorry that bothered you Shine. I loved that book, but I read an edited version of it.

Oh and Emily, it is. It’s the third book in the series

I didn't read an edited version, but I cant say I remember that much cussing. But it was a while ago that I read it so it could have had a lot :/

Oh wait... I only read part of it edited. Lol. My brother was reading it and editing it and then he was reading it super slow so I just dove in. I don’t remember a ton of language but the review I wrote said there was a decent amount. Lol, what would I do without my reviews? 😂

What would any of us do with your reviews Joey? Lol
You have older brothers? I assumed you were the oldest for some reason lol

Lol Emily.
Yeah! I have three older brothers and a younger one! And three sisters too...

Wow lol that's a lot of sibling

Yeahhh 😂

I don't remember a lot of language in there either. But I read it like two and a half years ago, so who knows?
You're so right, what would we do?

I have four siblings, and my dad is dating someone with two daughters, so it's possible I could end up having six sisters!! They're all girls!! Lol

Sister are easier that brothers I think but maybe that's just cause I'm a girl lol

Lol But everyone wants a brother at some point. For protective reasons. It's no fun having to play that part as a girl... So, I'm not jealous of you guys, boys! Lol

I think sisters are easier than brothers too lol. I have only 2 sisters and then 4 brothers.

Yeah, cool!

hey I'd definitely not recommend 'A Thousand Leagues Under The Sea' ... literally it felt like a chore reading it

I'm not saying that I don't love all my sisters, it's just that I'm the oldest, so I have to play the protective role all the time and I DON'T LIKE IT!! Lol I'd do anything for them, though.

I have 1 brother who is 19 and one sister who is 26

Brothers are better ✌️

😜

Haha Lol, wonder why you'd think that...

I do prefer my lovely sisters she's an inspiration. my brother is just a moody hormonal uni student ;)

I'm the fourth of six kids, two sisters and three brothers.

I will, Shine!

I have one sister who's older, but I don't see her very often.

I really did not like Frankenstein, The Scarlet Letter, or The Invisible Man. They were all kind depressing, weird and altogether not worth it. (Also Call of the Wild was depressing to me. I didn’t not like that book at all.) but they really didn’t have big content problems, thankfully!
Fairest does have bad content though. My mom read it and told me, so I’m steering clear of that one! (Plus it’s probably super depressing as well.)

I didn't like Frankenstein either! And The Invisible Man was very disappointing.

rats, because I'm reading Frankenstein right now..lol

Yes, the third book is badly written and ruins the whole series.

Avoid Mafia Princess by Nikki Kitchen, which isn't the more well known book by that title. Aside from a few sex scenes, it is very badly written, and the author is a Mormon and claims to be very devout at the end of the book, so I am not sure why she put in the sex scenes with two unmarried teens. It is not a Christian novel, though.

Yeah, Frankenstein sucked pretty bad.
Wow, that sounds horrible Karin.

It did!

Stay away from The Selection. Its kinda like fast food, it sucks for you but you want more. But overall it has inappropriate stuff and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Noted!

If your curious about it, just imagine the Bachelor and Hunger Games had a baby and named it The Selection. Lol

Lol Okay! 🤣🤣

😂 i see those books all the time Emily but I’ve known about the inappropriate content so I’ve been avoiding them like the plague

Haha, same!

#QuarantinedfromSelection

Haha yep!

I've read them..there were a few scenes and mild language, but I just skipped over that. Overall, I thought they were good...What did you not like?

I didn't hate them, sorry if it came across that way. I just felt like the characters were petty and a lot like reality TV shows.

Yeah, I've heard that too.

personally, i say stay away from the Twilight series
maybe it's just not my cup of tea
but i also found the fourth novel to have a really graphic scene & my mom got upset at me for reading it

I’m with you. I know that it wouldn’t be good for me to read it. I know it’s fine for many people, but I have a weakness in areas that those books are heavy in.

I'm not allowed to read them. Lol It was like my mom's guilty pleasure, but now she won't read or watch them, and won't let me.
