Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten (Six) Books I Enjoyed Recently That Weren’t My Typical Genre. 

So I typically don’t read out of the genre I like, simply because I hate 1. Not finishing a book and 2. Not liking a book. It makes me so sad, so I don’t normally go away from supernatural/fantasy and contemporary. There is mostly a mixture of historical fiction and science fiction in this list. 

Salt To Sea by Ruta Sepetys: I adored this book. It was just so beautiful, I had been crying and turning page after page. Salt to the Sea is a gorgeous novel that brings to light a catastrophe that seems to be forgotten. With stunning writing and intriguing characters Ruta Sepetys brings a novel that tells a story that everyone needs to read. | My Review

These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly: I was very sure about this book when I heard about it, but it also intrigued me. However, These Shallow Graves, it was an interesting read and something that I would recommend to historical fiction or crime lovers. These Shallow Graves is a fantastic historical fiction packed with crime solving, romance, heartbreak and tears.| My Review

Who’s Afraid?  by Maria Lewis: Normally this would be my thing, however it was an adult/new adult novel and I was so not expecting it. However,  I really enjoyed Who’s Afraid? It was something different from what I have read before. I am used to Fantasy in Young Adult, this is one of the New Adult novels that I have read that isn’t contemporary. I truly enjoyed and cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series. | My Review

Lux Series by Jennifer L. Arementrout: This is one of the first alien books that I have ever read and I really, really enjoyed it. This book had so much that I adored. The romance is adorable and the plot is so intriguing that had me finish the series in less than a week. 

The Next Together by Lauren James: Again one of the first time travel books that I have read. And I really enjoyed it. At first it was difficult to get my head around it, but one I got into the book it as really intruding and fun. 

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: This is one of my favourite series of all time. I love the character’s, the plot, the writing. This series is so different from what I am used to. It has androids, cyborgs and people who live on the moon. It’s pretty awesome if I say so myself. 

 

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday well in my case Six. What books have you read in the last year that were out of your comfort zone? Do we have any of the same? Do you love genre’s that I haven’t read much of? Can you give me some suggestions on what I should read from them? I hope you enjoyed this Top Six Tuesday.
