Popular Books that You Should Read

Popular Books that You Should Read

December 7, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

It’s freebie time, so today I’m sharing popular books that I think you should read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I really enjoy it when there is a freebie week because I get to have a lot of fun. Not only making my post but reading others. So today I thought I would share the popular books that I think are so worth reading. From romance books to young adult and fantasy. Let’s go! As always these are in no order. 

*Just want to make a quick note. These are the books that I really enjoyed and think that others will too. Please be mindful of that in the comments.* 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout | Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert | Hate (Madison Kate #1) by Tate James | Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo.

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman | The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare | The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune | The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan.

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare | The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

And there we go. Those are some popular books that I think are so worth the read. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat!

    I loved Six of Crows and The Lightning Thief too. The Song of Achilles was a bit of a let down for me.

    I’ve read Bardugo’s and Klune’s book and loved them. I keep eyeing Robert’s book because I loved her Taboo series. And now I think I want to read Hate. Thanks for sharing!

    I picked up The Lightning Thief a few years ago on a whim while at the library, and that was a slippery slope because I soon devoured the entire series that was available at the time. Since then, I have waited anxiously for each new release because I don’t want to leave Camp Half-Blood! Sadly, I finished the last book in the Trials of Apollo this year, and there’s no more coming from Rick Riordan. However, I have read that he is co-writing a book featuring Nico & Will that will be out in 2023.

    The House on the Cerulean Sea is one I specifically picked up because so many fellow bloggers had raved about it. And I loved it! Hope some people who see this post pick it up!

    THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA is one I REALLY need to read. I bought it when it came out and I still haven’t read it. I was really hoping to get to it this year, but…maybe in 2022!

    Happy TTT!

    Nice list! I’ve only read Percy Jackson and I’m still working through the series. But I do have The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Song of Achilles on my TBR.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
