Spring Cleaning Tag

Hi Book-Sniffers and Librocubicularists,

Spring has.. been here for a while. Cleaning before the summer has begun. I present:

! The Spring Cleaning Tag !

 original here

The struggle getting the cleaning started:

What book or series have you struggled to start because of its size?

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King - first book was terrible, 

all the other books are 500+ (some 900).

 

Cleaning out the closet:

What book would you like to unhaul? 

Knight Errant by R. Garcia Y Robertson - it was an ok book, 

a gift from a friend, but nothing worth remembering 

Opening windows and airing out the house:

What book was refreshing?

The Paper Magician by Charlie N Holmberg - I fell in love in a chapter, 

incredible world, lovely characters, and a different twist exploration of magic.

Washing the sheet stains:

What scene do you wish you could rewrite?

Mirrorsight by Kristen Britain - There's one scene between Estora and Zachary... 

It's terrible. It should not exist. In fact, in my head, it doesn't.  

Throwing out nick knacks:

 What book sequels were unnecessary? 

Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery - it is said that she didn't want to write them.

You can tell. After the third one, there's no heart any longer.  

(I did like Anne of Avonlea and of the Island)

Polishing the doorknobs:

What series has a good clean ending? 

Into the Land of the Unicorns by Bruce Coville - With 10 years gaps between publishing,

Coville managed to make this series incredible and with a strong finish. 

Reaching to dust the fans:

What book reached too hard for a message?

Low: Delirium of Hope by Remender and Tocchini - a graphic novel,

heavily inspired by pessimism vs optimism... written by a pessimist in which he tries to 

portray how an optimist  thinks. Swing and a miss for me. 

The art work, however, was stunning.

Tiring, yet satisfying finish of Spring Cleaning:

What book series was tiring/satisfying to finish? 

Penryn and the End of Days by Susan Ee - 

All the excitement, action, and emotion. Punch, punch, dodge. Every book. Fantastic.

See you for Bout of Books 19!

~Happy Reading~
