Every year there are a few books we weren't as fond of... and perhaps could have skipped over. That's not to say they were bad books or that you won't find something redeeming in them -we all have different tastes.
Here's what Jenn could have done without:
- Claim of Innocence by Laura Caldwell
- Cinder and Ella by Melissa Lemon
- Children of Paranoia by Trevor Shane *
- Blue by Lou Aronica
- Revolution
by Deb Olin Unferth
- The Tiger's Wife
by Tea Obreht
- The Other Queen
by Philippa Gregory
- The Gate House
by Nelson Demille
Is there any book you could have done without?

Oh dear, I have The Tiger's Wife yet to read, and I've always wanted to read Gregory. I've read the Caldwell, and though it was "meh", but not shocking.
I often have issues with crime novels (I find the misogyny offputting), and anything that has out-of-the-blue Christian themes and Bible quotes gets on my nerves.
Probably the biggest disappointment for me this year was Murakami's 1Q84. I was just expecting so much more.
