I’m pretty sure there aren’t really any books that we actually hate but in all fairness to book reviewing it has to be an option =)
This blog was born of three great friends. In all honesty they were likely separated at birth! They are the best of friends in a way that will survive a lifetime. Melanie and Tiffany met in a small town called Pflugerville at their “real world” jobs and quickly disco
vered that they shared an absolute obsession with all things reading and coincidently enough most everything else in life as well. The three together formed a bond of friendship that they are grateful for daily. Love/Hate Books began as a conversation between avid book readers, addicts to reading, if you will. They talk always of how wonderful it would be if their job everyday was to read, read some more, and did we mention read! They have years of book loving and disliking occasionally to share with each other and hopefully with you. The goal of this site is not to convince anyone that they should or should not read a book. It’s rather the opposite, by giving you three different viewpoints of books they’ve read, from the unreal, captivating story that takes you through a roller coaster of emotions and forms real bonds between you and the characters or the easy going fun book that you will finish in a day to the books that mostly earns a shoulder shrug at best. Feel free to share your comments and make book or author recommendations as well! Also learn more about your fellow readers on their “meet me” pages.
- What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree, with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny, dark squiggles. But one glance at it, and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. - Carl Sagan
