Hit, Miss, Haven't Read #1

 

I thought it would be fun to make a new series of posts based on ‘popular books.’ Going forward this will be called "Hit, Miss, Haven't Read." I'm basing it off of this list of “Best Books Ever” on Goodreads, which has had over 200,000 voters decide the best books! For each book, list if it was a hit, a miss, or if you simply haven't read it. No explanations, just hot takes!


1. The Hunger Games

HIT



2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

HIT

(But for unfortunate transphobic rhetoric, please consider reading from your local library instead of purchasing!)



3. To Kill a Mockingbird

MISS

4. Pride and Prejudice

HAVEN'T READ




5. Twilight

MISS




6. The Book Thief

HAVEN'T READ




7. Animal Farm

HAVEN'T READ




8. The Chronicles of Narnia (1-7)

HIT




9. J.R.R. Tolkien 4-Book Set (The Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit)

HIT and MISS

(I liked The Hobbit, but got really annoyed with how slow LotR was)



10. Gone with the Wind

HAVEN'T READ


What do you think about these hits and misses? 
Which ‘haven't reads’ should I add to my to-read list?
