Top Books I’m Thankful I’ve Read

Top Books I’m Thankful I’ve Read

November 21, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

thankful

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. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Top Books I’m Thankful I’ve Read. 

I’m thankful I’ve read a lot of books. I’ve always been one for reading, but when I am reading books that I am constantly falling in love with. It makes the experience so much better. If I didn’t love books as much as I do, I wouldn’t be blogging, wouldn’t have studied writing and editing. Wouldn’t be studying public relations at the moment, wanting to move into the publishing industry. And I wouldn’t be working in a bookstore.   

I am thankful that I’ve had the chance to read and fall in love with the idea of reading. Where I can go to the library and borrow some books. Or have family members buy them for birthdays and Christmas.

Anyway, today I thought I would share some of the books that I am thankful I’ve read over the years. Like always these are in no order. 

 

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling: No surprise that this series is on this list. I don’t know where I would be or who I would be. It’s shaped me into the person I am. It’s what filled my love for reading and the world of fantasy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: While this isn’t the best series out there, I give it one thing. It got so many more teens to read! While I was already a reader before I read Twilight. It introduced to young adult books and I haven’t looked back since. 

 

 

 

 

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: Another series that furthered my love for both the supernatural and young adult books. I haven’t talked about this series in some time. But I adored and still love these characters and story so much. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: I could talk about this book every day. I always recommend it at work and try and convince everyone to read it. It’s heartbreaking, poignant and so so true. So if you haven’t read it – please do. Check out my review for more. 

 

 

 

 

 

Every Breath by Ellie Marney: This has to be one of my favourite #LoveOzYA series out there. And I am so thankful that I started this series. Another series that I always recommend to those that come into my store. Every Breath is very Melbourne, and I just adored it. 

 

 

Thankful I've Read

 

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry: This has to one of the first YA romance books that I read and simply adored. And to this date, I’ve read every Katie McGarry book published. I recently wrote about reading more romance books, and there will always be room for Katie McGarry. 

 

 

 

 

 

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare: I don’t think anyone should be surprised that this series has made my list. I love these books and world so damn much. That I could read all the books. It’s crazy really. 

 

 

 

 

 

And that is it! What are some of the books that you are thankful that you’ve read? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!

    I hope Rowling knows how many lives she changed by writing Harry Potter. The power of a good story.

    Your list actually just slayed me. I love these picks so much! I agree with you on almost (I haven’t read Every Breath) everything here. I loved, loved, LOVED The Hate U Give–it was one of the best books this year. I have such a soft spot for Pushing the Limits, as well. I need to read more of her books (I have four, I think, but I haven’t gotten to them yet) and this reminded me.

    HP is also on my list! I didn’t even think to put VA on mine even though it was one of the few series that I actually finished and I love the Bloodlines series as well. Such staples in YA literature.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
