Hi everyone, it's Sandy and today I'm doing the NOPE Book tag. This tag was
created by A Booktube Book and I wasn't tagged by anyone but I saw my friend
Mel from BooksWithWings doing this tag video and I knew I wanted to do it. The
questions for this tag are pretty long so I'm just going to be reading the
questions off my phone. The first question is a nope ending: a book ending
that made you go nope - either in denial, rage, or simply because the ending was
crappy. For this question, I'm going to go with The Girl on the Train by Paula
Hawkins. This book is a psychological thriller and after all the build-up in
this book, when the whole mystery was revealed, I felt like it was just very
anticlimactic, and I was pretty disappointed by how things turned out, so
I felt like this ending was just a big nope. The second question is a nope
protagonist: a main character you dislike and drives you crazy. I'm going to go
with Shazi from The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. I don't dislike Shazi
but she did drive me crazy. The main and probably only thing that annoyed me
about Shazi's character is how her relationship with Khalid was built. I am
all for the enemies to lover trope. That is one of my favorite tropes to
read about but I didn't like how it was executed in this book. I thought the
romance was very sudden. The way Shazi felt about everything was just kind of
all over the place and it drove me crazy, so that is why I didn't really like this
book that much but I know so many people loved this book, but unfortunately it
wasn't for me. The third question is a nope series: a series that turned out to
be one huge pile of nope after you've invested all that time and energy on it
or a series you gave up on because it wasn't worth it anymore. A series that
turned out to be a huge pile of nope is The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. If you've
been watching my videos for a while now, then this answer isn't really a big
surprise. I did enjoy the first book but the series just went downhill as the
books went on. As the series went on I just didn't know what was happening
anymore, like what were their goals? Like what are they trying to do?
I just wasn't as engaged anymore. Don't even get me started on the last book. I
really did not like the last book. The fourth question is a nope popular
pairing: a ship you don't support. I don't ship Alina and the Darkling. There are
people out there that actually ship them together but nope, I personally don't
understand it. I would never in a million years ship Alina and the Darkling. I
know a lot of people who have read these books don't like who Alina ended up
with but personally, I really didn't mind. the end game wasn't my preferred ship
but I don't dislike it as much as I do with Alina and the Darkling and also,
there are a million other reasons why Alina and the Darkling shouldn't be
together but I'm not going to discuss that in this video. The fifth question is
a nope plot twist: a plot twist you didn't see coming or didn't like. A plot
twist that I didn't see coming but I actually liked is in Killer Instinct by
Jennifer Lynn Barnes. The plot twist at the end of the book just blew me away.
There are multiple plot twists in this book and each one just constantly blew
my mind. If you haven't read the series, please check it out. The first book in
the series is called The Naturals and it's like a YA Criminal Minds. It's a
really great mystery/thriller series and I highly recommend it. The sixth question
is a nope protagonist action or decision: a character decision that made you shake
your head nope. I want to mention two books for this question and the first
one is Little Monsters by Kara Thomas. This is another mystery/thriller book
and it follows our main character Casey, who moves to a new town to live with
her father. She becomes really close to two girls
and they pretty much do everything together but on the night of a huge
party, Casey is left out and the following day, one of her friends go
missing and people become pretty suspicious of Casey. And in this book,
Casey kept doing things that was pretty much asking for her to be suspected
because she kept putting herself into situations that made it seem like she
was the one responsible for one of her friends going missing, and it just
frustrated me so much. I did like this book overall but I had pretty mixed
feelings about Casey's character because of her decisions but it definitely was
interesting to read from her point of view. Another protagonist I wanted to
mention is Desi, from I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo and I
really love this book. I think it's wonderful
but Desi does make some pretty crazy decisions that I don't agree with. A lot
of the decisions that she makes are due to this guide that she creates in order to
get a boy to fall in love with her. She basically studied a bunch of K-dramas to
create this guide, so a lot of her decisions are pretty dramatic and kind
of extreme. I don't agree with them but based on the context of K-dramas, I didn't
really mind her decisions that much. The seventh question
is a nope genre: a genre you will never read. I feel like never is a pretty
strong word and I don't always like saying I will never do this. I will never
do that because I don't know, maybe one day I will. But definitely for now, a genre
that I probably won't read for a really long time is erotica because that's just
something I'm not into and I don't think that genre needs an explanation. But
another genre that I rarely ever pick up a book from is historical fiction. A lot
of the historical fiction books that I have read are books that I thought were
like okay or didn't really like. There are definitely a few historical fiction
books that I did like but most of them I just thought were okay, so that's just a
genre that I don't ever really gravitate towards. The eighth question is a
nope book format: book formatting you hate and avoid buying until it comes out in a
different edition. There really isn't a book format that I hate. I pretty much
read from all different types of book formats, whether it's eBook, audio book,
physical print. However, I don't like mass-market paperbacks and I don't ever
read from mass-market paperback, but that's something I don't really have to
worry about because a lot of the books that I read which are young adult, are
not printed in mass-market paperbacks. And even though I do listen to
audiobooks, I will never buy an audiobook because (a) they're really really
expensive and I don't think it's worth the money to buy an audio book. A lot of
the audiobooks that I do listen to are books that I checked out from Overdrive,
which is connected to my local library and that works really well for me and
I'm really happy with just using Overdrive and checking out audiobooks
from the library. The ninth question is a nope trope: a trope that makes you go nope.
I feel like this trope is pretty specific but I hate it when one
character pushes another character away and that character is typically the love
interest, and they push their love interests away in order to protect them
for one reason or another. This does kind of fall under the whole miscommunication
trope because one character isn't telling the other character the full
truth because they think that once the whole truth is out, the other character
will think of them differently, will hate them, or will be really hurt, or for
whatever reason. And I feel like this always happens when it's so obviously
clear that both of these characters have feelings for each other. This trope
happens way too often and it's pretty present in a lot of my favorite books
such as The Darkest Minds, the Lux series, and all of the Shadowhunter
books. The tenth question is a nope recommendation: a
book recommendation that is constantly hyped and pushed at you that you simply
refuse to read. So I'm going to go with One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus and
this isn't a book that was necessarily recommended to me but it is a book that
I do think has hype surrounding it. It's a book that I will probably never read
because I've heard things about it that makes me not want to pick it up. I'm not
going to go into any of the details but Trina from Between Chapters has a very
very great Goodreads review that explains basically all of the reasons why I don't
want to read this book, so I will link that down below if you are curious. The
eleventh question is nope cliche or pet peeve: a cliche or writing pet peeve that
always makes you roll your eyes. I'm going to go with insta-love. This is a
trope that I really hate reading about and the second that appears in a book, I
would just automatically dislike the romance.
The 12th question is 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.
I'm going to go with Will from The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli.
This book sort of has a love triangle but I don't really consider it a love
triangle. This book follows Molly, who has had 26 crushes but has never been in a
relationship and she has a twin sister named, Cassie, who's basically tried to
set her up with this other guy. Once Reed is introduced, who is Molly's co-worker
and the other love interest, how can you not ship him and Molly together? I mean,
they are so cute and adorable and I really love them. I didn't really mind
Will that much but I definitely didn't ship him and Molly. I still really love
this book and I definitely highly recommend it. The thirteenth question is
a nope book: a book that shouldn't have existed that made you say nope. I'm
choosing Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong and I really didn't like this
book. I think I still ended up giving it like a three out of five stars, which I
don't know why. Honestly this is more like a one-star book for me because I
really didn't like it. I didn't know what was going on. I thought it was confusing
this book was just a huge pile of nope, so I'm not going to talk about it
anymore. The 14th question is a nope villain: a scary villain or antagonist
you would hate to cross and would make you run in the opposite direction. I'm
choosing Adelina from The Young Elites by Marie Lu. And Adelina is an antihero.
Her powers are hella scary. She can create these vivid and powerful
illusions that can scare someone to death and I definitely
do not want to cross her path because she can basically make you imagine
something terrible happening to you and I don't want to experience that because
reading about all the things that she does do throughout the series just makes
me want to stay as far away from her as possible. The fifteenth question is a
nope death: a character death that still haunts you.
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare. Still not over it.
Still not okay. Moving on. And the very last question is a nope author: an
author you had a bad experience reading from and decided to quit. There really
isn't an author that I read a book from and decided that I will never read any
of their books ever again but an author that I probably won't read a book from
anytime soon is Pierce Brown, the author of Red Rising. I read Red Rising a couple
years ago and I really didn't like it. I didn't really understand the world in
this book, and I thought it was just really confusing that I couldn't find
any piece of enjoyment from this book. I don't think Pierce Brown has written
anything outside of the Red Rising series yet but whenever he does, I'm
definitely willing to give him a second chance, but I probably won't be doing
that for a while. Those are all the questions for this tag. I hope you
enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you next time.
Bye!
