2019 Review: Most Disappointing Books

Welcome to the most Disappointing Reads of 2019, where I whinge about books I read this year that I wasn’t a fan of. Let’s get the negativity out of the way so my last post of the year can be all happy and shiny.

Enjoy.

Music Monday Christmas Edition #4: Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin’ Stevens

Music Monday is a meme created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek where you pick a song you like and share it on a Monday.

2/5

I wasn’t going to write a full review of The Pillars of the Earth. I was just going to write a mini review alongside another historical fiction, Regeneration, but I had so many thoughts while reading it that I just had to in the end.

And I didn’t think it was fair to rant about this in the same review as one of my favourite books.
