This week I’m sharing the books that change my reading habits over the last couple of years.  Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Well, this post is a little late, but I thought better late than never. Today, I’m sharing the books that have changed the way that I read. Whether it’s reading a different genre, a new author or trying something that I’ve never read before. So, here are the books that have changed how I read, as always there is no particular order. 

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: This is one of those books that rekindled my love for reading. Not just that, it’s what sent me on my reading journey that I’m still on today. It sent in motion my love for young adult and urban fantasy. It also sent me on this journey of blogging as well. 

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare: Like Vampire Academy, this series sent me on another reading journey and Cassandra is still one of my favourite authors to this day. Not only did it really enhance my love for young adult and fantasy, but it also gave me the push that I needed. 

Catching Jordan (Hundred Oaks #1) by Miranda Kenneally: This is not only one of the first contemporary books that I read, but it’s also fueled my love for sports romance. Most of this series includes some sort of sports and that what made me love it so much. I loved that it was a different sport in each book, but also everything is still connected.

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry: This one here is what really got me into New Adult. While when first published it was classed as YA, I could call this and most of McGarry’s books as New Adult. But I adore them. They just hit me in the right spot. They hit me with lots of feels. And even today NA is very much part of what I read. 

Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros: Like Katie McGarry’s books, Rebecca Yarros really got me into reading more romance. It became addicting really. I wanted to read more and more and that is what I did. 

Taste the Heat (Love and Games #1) by Rachel Harris: This has to be one of the first adult romances I read and like everything else. I not only loved the book. But I feel in love with the genre. I read so much romance that, probably more than YA. 

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This was of the first historical romances that I read and loved. Up until this year, I read a lot of romance, but never really read anything historical. And then I picked Lisa Kleypas up and that changed me. I’ve read nearly all of her backlist now and I can’t wait to read more in the genre.
