Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?
This is going to be a spoiler fest so try to write the title of the book as a dominant feature - and warn people about spoilers. 



A. Well honestly there aren't any series or books that come to mind that I would want to change, usually I'm pretty satisfied by the endings of books. With most of the books I read I think the author wraps everything up well enough by the end of the book. Now when you have a series things are a bit different because author usually ends the books with a cliffhanger, now cliffhangers do tend to drive me crazy because I'm itching to know what happens next but I wouldn't necessarily want to change it. 


And like all things book related, I think it depends on your preferences. Although it seems that the ending to Breaking Dawn is one that a lot of people don't seem satisfied with, but to be honest I never made it past the first book in the series (it just wasn't my cup of tea) so I can't really comment lol.


I'm racking my brain here trying to think of a book that I thought had a "bad ending" but unfortunately...... I've got nothing, but if I do think of one I'll update my post :p


Happy Friday lovelies!

  1. I would have a hard time with this question, too, but only because there are so many I would change! I tend to judge a book by the ending, and If I don't like how it ends....I downgrade the book. The one that comes to mind immediately is Jodi Picoult's 'Handle With Care'. I thought it was a very good book, but absolutely HATED how it ended!

  2. Kim,

    I do that sometimes too, if I don't like the ending it kind of lowers how much I liked the book overall. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  3. A lot of people have been dissatisfied with that ending. I can't remember it all and haven't bothered trying. My like of Twilight has faded away now, but oh well!

  5. Hopping through. For the most part, I don't want to change the end of books. I usually respect the author's position.

  9. Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog from #FF on twitter :) I'm following you as well.

    I didn't make a post for this, but my answer would definitely be DARKEST MERCY by Melissa Marr. Have you read it? It was far too perfect to be realistic.
