100 Lowest Rated Books on Bold's Goodreads Shelves

There are tons of lists of the "best books", but these are the other end of the spectrum according to their GR rating. These are the lowest rated books on my shelves. Some I have read and some I haven't, but none have a rating higher than 3.53. Do they deserve their mediocre ratings?
