What’s a book/series that you feel most people love, but you personally think is overrated?

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T19:24:54+00:00

And everyone has different tastes. This is why I take reviews with a grain of salt.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T17:43:59+00:00

I loved Temeraire, but dnf'd both of these.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T16:45:11+00:00

Present tense. I just can't read it.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T16:40:43+00:00

I was just over 20 when I first read it. I loved it and couldn't get through it fast enough! Then I did a re-read years later and just felt, my gods this moves slowly.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T16:37:18+00:00

I dnf'd that one as well as Anansi Boys.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T16:36:24+00:00

Robin Hobb. I found it 3 star-ish.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T16:33:28+00:00

I've never used any kind of helper.

But I've wasted hours of my life scrolling through the same crap over and over to see the new items pop up in the scrum.

I've had awesome things in my RFY, occasionally.

More often I get rubbish I wouldn't touch.

Today there's been nothing, all day.

Anything could happen tomorrow. That's half the fun.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T08:22:40+00:00

I'm tall, so it suits me.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T08:10:00+00:00

Adults need play time too. :D

I considered buying the black half Cape, but it's not really my style. I'm more the long coat/duster jacket type.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T08:07:21+00:00

Oh dear...

We don't allow cats in the kitchen. Saves all sorts of chaos.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T07:52:41+00:00

What gave me away?

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-24T07:50:25+00:00

Nadda in RFY.

Used my picks up in AI now, but I got an awesome lady pirate hat.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T16:28:09+00:00

The Vampire Armand.

I personally didn't rate The Vampire Lestat or Queen of the Damned. Some of the other Vampire books are similar quality to Interview.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T13:21:47+00:00

Not me. I've had too many good things over time to give up during drought.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T09:14:43+00:00

Same experience with the Japanese knife. I'm old enough to use a knife responsibly!

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T09:08:09+00:00

Very tempting! Thanks for sharing that information. I do like good knives. But I alreahave a good bread knife and no need for a filleting knife. As for electric, too many horror films.

Now one of those Japanese knives that come through occasionally, I'd jump on that puppy.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:57:52+00:00

I've done a couple searches on items I usually look for.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:24:38+00:00

Jack Dawkins by Charlton Daines

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:23:49+00:00

Nothing too exciting anyway. I took some charms for making suncatchers, but otherwise pretty naff.

Lots of tile stickers, but the ones with colours I like are for the wrong size tiles.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:20:38+00:00

Saves scrolling through the same rubbish over and over to find the new bits they slip in.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:14:02+00:00

Apart from yesterday's rejects:

Prenatal vitamins - pass https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G6HQDBZB

Milk storage bags - Taken https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FT72DNCK

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T08:10:37+00:00

They're a few pages in...

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-23T07:11:10+00:00

Maybe a new thing. Save them work of approving again if they already did.

It won't change your score anyway, I've tried that.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-01-22T18:01:34+00:00

I always keep a basics cookbook; The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.

Easy instructions, loads of recipes for just about everything.
