This week I’m sharing the books that I loved that I read because of a recommendation. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I’m always open to reading books recommended by others. Whether it’s from other bloggers, booktubers, friends or even customers at work. It’s a fantastic way to pick up a book that you know someone loves. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite books that I read because of a recommendation. 

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh: Nick is the main person that recommended I started this series, but it has been on my radar for years. It’s one of those series that so many people talk about and love. And let me tell you I have become one of these people. Check out part one of my series review for more. 

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese: There was no real one person that this recommendation came from, but I kept seeing it pop up with romance bloggers and I knew that I had to pick it up. And I’m so glad that I did because it’s fantastic. You can check out my full review now. 

The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn: This one has been recommended to me for years, especially after I started reading more historical romance. One person that has pushed me to read is Bec. I read this one the other day and now I want the whole series. 

Romanov by Nadine Brandes: I can’t remember who recommended me this one, but I adore retellings and this was fantastic. It has magic, romance and explores the fight for family on the backdrop of war.  Full review. 

Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas: This is another one that wasn’t recommended by one person in particular. But by multiple romance bloggers and booktubers. Penelope Douglas is one of those authors that is always recommended and I’ve glad that I did pick this one up. Because I did enjoy it. Check out my review now. 

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: This is another one I read because of a recommendation for my love for retellings. And it’s one that I’m always recommending to others now. It’s fantastic. The writing is amazing, the characters are captivating and I cried so much. But it’s so well done. 

Unearthly (Unearthly #1) by Cynthia Hand: I read this one a while ago now so I can’t remember who gave me the recommendation, but I do know that Ely really enjoyed the series and pushed me to read it. This series is fantastic and still holds up pretty well even though it was published a while ago now. 

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: When I started wanting to read historical romance Lisa Kleypas was one of the most recommend authors for me to pick up and now I’ve read 3 of her series and plan to read more and more. 

Trial by Fire (Worldwalker #1) by Josephine Angelini: This is another one that I now recommend to people because of how much I love this series. I can’t remember who got me to read this as it was years ago now. But this series is so interesting and I wish more people read it. This series is underrated for sure. 

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry: I first read this in 2013 so I can’t even remember who gave me the recommendation. But I just love this series and every few years I will do a re-read. I think this is one of the series that got me reading the romance I do now.
