Life of a Blogger: Unpopular Opinions

Posted November 14, 2014 by Silvia in Life of a Blogger / 13 Comments

Life of a Blogger is a weekly feature hosted by Jessi @ Novel Heartbeat.
Let’s talk about non-bookish topics, so we get to know each other on a more personal level.

This week’s topic: UNPOPULAR OPINIONS

So, this week we have been asked to shareย not very popular opinions . . . Let me tell you, liking something or not is a matter of personal taste, as much as agreeing or disagreeing on a topic is a matter of personal views.

Having said that, here are a few confessions unpopular opinions of mine:

  • I don’t think HEA is always necessary (that applies to books and movies);
  • I haven’t read any of the Harry Potter books and I feel no need to (oops!);
  • I’ve never cared about Doctor Who (DUN-DUN-DUN);
  • I don’t get all the crazy love for Jennifer Lawrence (nothing personal, Jennifer).

I’m pretty sure many of you will disagree but, hey, variety is the spice of life ๐Ÿ˜‰

  1. I don't need HEA, but I definitely need an end to a book. Oh you definitely need to try the Potter books one day! Right? Right? RIGHT? LOL no but well they're fun. I don't know how I would feel if I discovered them now as I'm grown up. I never cared about Dr. Who either so I'm glad I'm not the only one. I tried an episode but well no. The same for Jennifer Lawrence.

  2. Always interesting seeing these things. I need an HEA or at least a HFN. Just something to close it out. But I am with you on your others. Never touched Harry Potter or Doctor Who and good missing them. lol I'm not even sure who Jennifer is. *hides under rock a little more* lol

  3. I guess since that's the idea behind a romance and I read mostly romance it's pretty much a must for me in those. But I would be okay with them in a non-romance I thing. But in romance doing things like killing the hero at the end or in the next couple's book is a huge no-no. I'll never read those romance authors. I really don't think they are romance authors if they do that.

  4. I see your point and, as you know, I read lots of romance myself, so of course I prefer a HEA in those reads. I was being generic, I really think sometimes certain books and/or movies could be more spectacular without a happy ending.

  5. I agree with Anna, if there's romance, I will always want a HEA, just to save my heart from pain. Harry Potter is amazing, but I may be too attached to it because I grew up along with it. Nope, read it. (ha, kidding, your choice). Haven't seen Doctor Who and I dislike all the rave about Jennifer. I like her in the movies but I think people exagerate in their praise. Oh well. ๐Ÿ˜€

  6. I actually don't really like HEAs either. I mean, the girly girl in me likes them, because there's something satisfying about it, but I prefer the realistic approach of sacrifice. (If that makes sense)
    A book is guaranteed to get a higher rating if it breaks my heart! For example, I recently finished Endsinger by Jay Kristoff, and it was probably less painful to read it than it would be to slam my hand in a door and then have someone punch me in the face. It upset me more than any book has ever upset me, but it was the best book I read all year!

    OMG SOMEONE ELSE WHO HASN'T READ HP. *high fives* I don't really desire to read them either…I saw all the movies, and while I know they can't compare, I already know basically what happens. Why would I want to read the series when I know all the major spoilers?

    I don't care about Doctor Who, either. I have absolutely no desire to see it despite everyone raving about it.

    I do, however, love JLaw! I think she's beautiful and funny.

  7. It does make sense and I do like HEAs actually, it's just that sometimes I think a different end could be more powerful (at least for some stories). Heartbreaking is not always bad, I agree it can have a huge impact on the reader, giving them many conflicting emotions and yet, at times leaving them quite satisfied.
    *high fives back* for HP and glad I'm not alone on the Doctor Who front ๐Ÿ™‚

    *applauds* I like your opinions, Silvia, even if they're unpopular. I totally agree with you on the HEA. I won't hold it against you that you have no desire to read HP. I don't care about Doctor Who either although it's pretty popular in my household. And I don't have an opinion on Jennifer. ๐Ÿ˜‰
