I think it was last year I did the Nope Book Tag, and wanted to update it this year.
1. NOPE. Ending:
A book ending that made you go NOPE either in denial, rage, or simply because the ending was crappy.
- Harry Potter, it felt as if a part of my childhood died when it was the end of Harry Potter.
- The Ice Cream Girls. The book is one of my favourite and as I was getting closer to the end I was in denial that it was ending, yet as a reader it kept me hooked.
2. NOPE. Protagonist:
A main character you dislike and drives you crazy.
- Lara Jean (just like in the first one I did) she annoyed me so much that even a year later she annoys me- Cassia from the Matched trilogy. I don’t particularly dislike her I just find that sometimes she comes across as annoying, and as the series went on I disliked her more and more.
3. NOPE. Series:
A series that turned out to be one huge pile of NOPE. after you’ve invested all of that time and energy on it, or a series you gave up on because it wasn’t worth it anymore.
- Twilight. I actually finished the ‘Saga’ and felt it wasn’t as good as everyone said it is. I enjoyed the first book, not a lot but it went so down hill and so quickly. By the time I got to Breaking Dawn I wanted to smack the author in the face with it. The last two books could have been cut down a hell of a lot, and the last book was so long and had both Bella and Jacob’s versions I just gave up and was skipping to bits that seemed interesting but not really that interesting
4. NOPE. Popular pairing:
A "ship" you don’t support.
- Edward and Bella. I know high school sweethearts act differently when in love, but the relationship between them was toxic. Their relationship is so on and off even after high school. And the fact that everyone even now loves it. Nope. Nope.
5. NOPE. Plot twist:
A plot twist you didn’t see coming or didn’t like.
- The plot in The Ice Cream Girls. I liked how it went back and forth, making you think either girl could have gone back and killed Marcus. I won’t spoil it but I liked that plot twist.
6. NOPE. Protagonist action/decision:
A character decision that made you shake your head NOPE.
- It will always be Lara Jean’s decision
- Also Vanishing Acts by Jodi Pilcoult. As I was reading it I felt sorry for Delia’s father but as time went on I think he decision was just plain selfish
7. NOPE. Genre:
A genre you will never read.
- Last time I did this I said Graphic Novels and that still stands. It’s not who I am. And one that I am confident in saying I’ll never read. They never really intrigued me growing up and even less so now.
8. NOPE. Book format:
Book formatting you hate and avoid buying until it comes out in a different edition
- I’m not really to fussed about formatting of a book cover that I have to wait until a new edition comes out of the book. I am not a massive fan of books that have super short chapters in it, which honestly I don’t think will change if it’s the copy I have or if it’s going to change in a new edition.
9. NOPE. Trope:
A trope that makes you go NOPE.
- It’s still Vampires. It’s so over done that I just still can’t deal with it.
10. NOPE. Recommendation:
A book recommendation that is constantly hyped and pushed at you that you simply refuse to read.
- Honestly a lot my books on my shelf I think could be hyped up books that I got because people hyped them up when they were first released, but over time I’ve come to the conclusion that if I want to read a book then I’ll do it on my own time. I found that the books that were hyped up weren’t as good as those hyping it up made it out to be.
11. NOPE. Cliche/pet peeve:
A cliche or writing pet peeve that always makes you roll your eyes.
- The whole ‘I’m not supposed to like him but I do anyway’ cliche 🙄
- Sudden short chapters in the middle of a book. I hate it. Ok let me refrazie it. I don’t mind short chapters but when the majority of the book up to that point is longer chapters and then bam it’s shorter ones back to long. NO. THANK. YOU.
12. NOPE. Love interest:
The love interest that’s not worthy of being one. A character you don’t think should have been a viable love interest.
- Peter and Lara Jean, even though I didn’t like To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, that ‘relationship’ where it was on Lara Jean’s terms was ideal for them both. But because Lara Jean is a spoilt brat she had to take it further.
13. NOPE. Book:
A book that shouldn’t have existed that made you say NOPE.
- I don’t think I’ve ever said nope to a book existing but the last two twilight books I wished would have disappeared.
14. NOPE. Villain:
A scary villain/antagonist you would hate to cross and would make you run in the opposite direction.
- It’s always been Greyback from Harry Potter. That character always gave me the chills.
15. NOPE. Death:
A character death that still haunts you.
- Fred. It will be forever Fred that will haunt me. I love both Fred and George and his death crushed me inside. One of the things I am great full for is that his death was only in the book, and we saw the aftermath of it in the movie.
16. NOPE. Author:
An author you had a bad experience reading for and have decided to quit.
- Jodi Pilcoult. I am not at the point of quitting her books just yet I have a few that I want to try and read but at the moment I have tried to read her books and feel so disappointed with her writing style considering she is A- a published author and B her books have been on
