My Banned Book List

I hate not being able to finish a book.

Hate is a strong word.

So, yeah--

I hate not being able to finish a book.

I have many friends who are born writers...

I have seen how much work, blood, sweat and tears go into each creation.

So when I cant finish a book, it hurts my heart.

I feel like I am betraying the author--

like I am 'pooh-pooh'ing all their hard work.

Then I get over it at 1am and write this blog.

Kat's Banned Book List:

• The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
  by Stieg Larsson
• Why it and it's successors are banned: I don't think it translated into English well. Each page dragged on and on. I was interested in the characters but it took pages to learn a micro-fact about them. I tried and tried to get through this book. I didn't finish.

• hush, hush
  by Becca Fitzpatrick
• Why it and it's successors are banned: I muscled my way through this book. Although, I was intrigued by a few characters, the book was so slow. So slow. I didn't feel enthralled until Chapter 23. I mean, I shouldn't even remember the chapter. Also it did not help that I wanted to punch the main character's best friend each time she turned up on a page. Not good.

 So, as of now, this list only has 2 series on it.

That is pretty darn good.

But that isn't to say that it won't be added to someday.

For the sake of the author-world,

I hope it isn't anytime soon.
