30 Day Book Challenge-Day 12

So I've been MIA for a little while. Mostly I was just taking a break from blogging because after almost 3 years it had started to feel like a chore and that is not how I wanted to look at it all. Now I finally feel ready to start posting again. And what better way to start the habit of posting regularly again than doing a 30 day challenge. So for 30 days in August I'll be posting daily for the challenge, and on August 31st I'll post a surprise!
Now, just to put this out there right now, I reserve the right to cheat on this challenge. Cheat as in if it asks for one favorite book...I might put two...or 5.
Let the challenge begin!

A BOOK THAT YOU LOVE BUT HATE AT THE SAME TIME

CITY OF BONES BY CASSANDRA CLARE

I do like this series. I've only read the first 3 but I have enjoyed them. To a point though I think the series is getting way too drug out. This series, a series that takes place long before this one, and then another one that is supposed to take place after this one if I am remembering correctly. And I hate all of the drama surrounding the series of what the author has supposedly done with recycling her own stories and what have you.

So I love it, and hate it.

TWILIGHT BY STEPHANIE MEYER

The writing isn't that great, the story isn't very original, the girl is a baby, and the guy is a creeper...that sparkles. Yet I still do love this series. 

I was going through some tough stuff in my life when I first heard about this book so it helped take me out of my reality and let me go somewhere else for a little while.

It was the series that really got me back into reading and it was the series that made me discover YA.

So it's not all bad...but still pretty bad.
