I read the Harry Potter books when they came out, but not the Twilight Saga or the Hunger Games. Or, 50 shades of gray.
What "publishing phenomenon" have you been a part of?
-
Harry Potter for sure, Twilight and hunger games I didn't read until they had been out more than a year. I feel like I am too old and satisfied to have to read 50 shades of gray.
-
@anonysquire: ha ha, too old to read 50 shades but not too old. For the Hunger Games and Twilight?
-
hunger games, harry potter and girl with the dragon tattoo.
-
Harry Potter! I didnt read Twilight until #4 came out and i didnt read Hunger Games until the movie.
-
Harry Potter and Hunger Games. I think those are well written, but the others ... not so much.
-
@mrbee: I meant too young lol. Not old enough!
-
Most of them! Hp, twilight, hunger games, 50 shades, umm..can't think of anymore! Sookie stackhouse novels (southern vampire mysteries)
-
@mrbee: On that note, I am way too old for the other books. But I am over it!
-
@anonysquire: lol I'm 24 & read them all..
-
Hunger Games, 50 shades of gray, The girl with the dragon tattoo.
I didn't start reading Harry Potter until about 10 years after they came out. I refused to read them when I was in school.
-
@sorrycharlie: I am 24 too lol.
-
I have read Twilight, Hunger Games, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, tried 50 but couldn't get past the horrible writing and mistakes!
-
@JessLC: ooh girl with the dragon tattoo... good one!
-
I'm proud to say, I have not read one of the books listed! I can be kind of anti bandwagon. I did watch the first two Harry potter movies though.
-
I have read all of the above mentioned!!
-
@mrs. bird: you are missing out! I didn't read them to be on a bandwagon... just started reading and couldn't stop!!
-
Oh, I'm a sucker for Nicholas Sparks books! Although, I was pretty disappointed with the last book, The Best of Me.
-
Harry Potter, for sure. I've read them all about 5 times each. Also the Hunger Games trilogy - love them. I read one of the Twilight books, but it wasn't my thing, and I feel the same about 50 Shades.
-
I've read Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo. -
Does the Babysitters Club count?
-
@oliviaoblivia: haha nope! Although wasn't it a movie at some point too?
-
I tend to be stubborn about these things and hold out just because. I did finally read 50 Shades to see if it was as bad as some people say. It was. But it sucked me in anyway. Sad.
-
HP and hunger games. and, okay, the twilight books, too....
-
@mrs. bird: I am like you. I refused to read Harry Potter until last year. I made it to the beginning of the 2nd book before I gave up.
I did read Hunger Games--but not when it first came out.
I am a bit of a literature snob since I am a writer, so the bandwagons I jumped on are/were for literary fiction and memoirs.
-
My sister gave me the first Harry Potter book before they blew up. I was an addict from the start. I read the Hunger Games after like a dozen of my facebook friends recommended them to me. And I read The Girl series after my dad recommended it. It took me a while, though - I started the first one and couldn't get into it, then went back to it about 6 months later and forced myself to give it more of a chance. Ended up loving them. Have not and will not read Twilight or 50 Shades.
-
Hmm, I started Harry Potter back in the day and stopped after the 4th book. I read the Twilight books (but haven't seen ANY of the movies), The Hunger Games, and 50 Shades...
Sigh.
-
When I was pregnant I read all of the girl with dragon attoo & hunger games series. Just now starting 50 shades but not that into it so far
-
I read them all: Twilight, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, 50 Shades and you might as well add the Southern Vampire Mysteries (aka Sookie Stackhouse Novels), all the Nicholas Sparks novels to that list.
-
Twilight (because my girlfriend told me my only objection was that it was popular, so I had to read it to prove her wrong), the first Hunger Games book (book club, not my pick, but I enjoyed it). Also . . . Clan of the Cave Bear. Totally my own doing. I even read the most recent one, which was TERRIBLE!!!
