Worst of 2010: The Books

It’s hard coming up with this list. Reading is so subjective – depending on my mood, the subject matter of the book and the author’s writing style. Plus, I know I hate books others love, and vice verse. Take Crush on You by Christie Ridgway, Rowena hated that book, but Casee and I loved it.

  1. Wicked Little Game by Christine Wells
  2. Can’t Stand the Heat by Wynter Daniels
  3. Last Night’s Scandal by Loretta Chase
  4. Shadow of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon
  5. Do You Take This Cop by Beth Andrews

Rowena

There were some books in 2010 that just didn’t work for me at all. All of the books that I hated were loved by others and that’s okay, like Holly said…it’s all subjective. Just like our Best of Lists, there are plenty of people who hate the books that we love.

Here are my picks for this category:

  1. The Other Boyfriend by Sylvia Massara
  2. Two’s Company by Jill Mansell
  3. Crush on You by Christie Ridgway

I just couldn’t get into all of these books for different reasons. The main character got on my hot damn nerves in The Other Boyfriend, the male lead in Two’s Company broke my heart and made me hate him and then there were so many different reasons why I couldn’t stand Crush On You. I wanted to like each of these books but it wasn’t in the cards for me.

Casee

Holly is right on the subjective part. The author of one of my worst books this year also ends up being in the top five of my best authors list.

  1. Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen
  2. Hot Finish by Erin McCarthy
  3. His Darkest Embrace by Juliana Stone
  4. Killing Me Softly by Maggie Shayne
  5. Louisiana Heat by Dominique Adair

Now that you’ve seen our worst of lists…share with us some of the books that just didn’t work for you last year.
