This week I’m sharing the books that defied my expectations. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I had a lot of fun with this week’s topic. So I decided I would share the five books that I didn’t know if I was going to like and ended up loving, and then five that I thought that I was going to really enjoy and didn’t. 

I share a lot about the books that I love reading and not so much about the books that weren’t for me. And today I get to share both. I just want to make a quick note, these are just my opinions. Sometimes a book just isn’t for me, but you might love it. And that is what reading is about. I might also love a book that you hate. And that is okay. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are the books that defied my expectations. The five books that surprised me with how much I loved them. And the five books that were a letdown. As always these are in no real order.
