Six Books I Enjoyed Recently That Weren’t My Typical Genre

Feb 23, 2016

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. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten (Six) Books I Enjoyed Recently That Weren’t My Typical Genre.

So I typically don’t read out of the genre I like, simply because I hate 1. Not finishing a book and 2. Not liking a book. It makes me so sad, so I don’t normally go away from supernatural/fantasy and contemporary. There is mostly a mixture of historical fiction and science fiction in this list.

Salt To Sea by Ruta Sepetys: I adored this book. It was just so beautiful, I had been crying and turning page after page. Salt to the Sea is a gorgeous novel that brings to light a catastrophe that seems to be forgotten. With stunning writing and intriguing characters Ruta Sepetys brings a novel that tells a story that everyone needs to read. | My Review

These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly: I was very sure about this book when I heard about it, but it also intrigued me. However, These Shallow Graves, it was an interesting read and something that I would recommend to historical fiction or crime lovers. These Shallow Graves is a fantastic historical fiction packed with crime solving, romance, heartbreak and tears.| My Review

Who’s Afraid? by Maria Lewis: Normally this would be my thing, however it was an adult/new adult novel and I was so not expecting it. However, I really enjoyed Who’s Afraid? It was something different from what I have read before. I am used to Fantasy in Young Adult, this is one of the New Adult novels that I have read that isn’t contemporary. I truly enjoyed and cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series. | My Review

Lux Series by Jennifer L. Arementrout: This is one of the first alien books that I have ever read and I really, really enjoyed it. This book had so much that I adored. The romance is adorable and the plot is so intriguing that had me finish the series in less than a week.

The Next Together by Lauren James: Again one of the first time travel books that I have read. And I really enjoyed it. At first it was difficult to get my head around it, but one I got into the book it as really intruding and fun.

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: This is one of my favourite series of all time. I love the character’s, the plot, the writing. This series is so different from what I am used to. It has androids, cyborgs and people who live on the moon. It’s pretty awesome if I say so myself.

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday well in my case Six. What books have you read in the last year that were out of your comfort zone? Do we have any of the same? Do you love genre’s that I haven’t read much of? Can you give me some suggestions on what I should read from them? I hope you enjoyed this Top Six Tuesday.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten OTP’s

Feb 9, 2016

I ship people like crazy. I just want everyone to be happy forever, so this weeks Top Ten was really hard for me. I tried to keep it one couple per book series. If you don’t know what OTP means, it means One True Pairing. Before I start my list, I have to warn you for spoilers; however post of these couples are well-known. These are also in no particular order.

Oz and Emily from the Thunder Road Series by Katie McGarry. This is one of my most recent OTPs, from last year I might add. But Oz and Emily are so cute together – but I have a feeling that they might be knocked off when Walk the Edge comes out later this year.

Kestrel and Arin from The Winner’ s Curse by Marie Rutkoski. If these two don’t get together by the end of The Winner’s Kiss, I will be very angry. They care about each other so much, and Kestrel would do anything for Aria and just gosh. Please

Katy and Daemon from the Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: These two had my heart from the get go. I adore them together so far and after all they have been through they deserve it.

Rose and Dimitri from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: This is one of my first OTP. Because seriously how can you not?

Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. This slow burning romance is perfect. The banter between the two is gorgeous and I love it.

Sydney and Adrian from Bloodlines by Richelle Mead: This couple has given me nightmares. They ran around other so much, all I wanted was for them to be together.

Cinder and Kai from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: I love every single couple of this, If I could add all these couple to my OPT’s list, but I tried to keep it to 1 per series. I love Cinder and Kai – they are adorable together and I want them together forever.

Noah and Echo from Pushing the Limits Series by Katie McGarry. I love all Katie McGarry’s couple my Noah and Echo are by far my fav from the Pushing the Limits.

Magnus and Alec from The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare: These boys hold my heart. Seriously and the recent Shadowhunter Academy short stories. Yes.

Rachel Watts and James Mycroft from the Every Series by Ellie Marney. These two quick thinkers are adorable. I cannot explain how much I love this couple living in Melbourne.

So here are my OTP’s. I tried to give a mix of older books and newer books. What are your OPT’s? Do we share some?

If you like this Movie or Series, you’ll like this Book

Aug 13, 2015

I love to read. Most of you guys reading this love to read. But there is some people who just cannot do it.

I think the reason for most people don’t like to read is because they haven’t found the right one to start with. It could also be because of school. I hated nearly all the books that I read it high school for many reason, from that I couldn’t related to the fact that I had to ‘study’ the book.

So today, I’m going to give all you non-readers and readers some YA book recommendations with a little twist. A lot more people watch movies and tv shows than they do read books, so I’m going to give you ‘if you liked this movie/TV Shows – you will like this book.’ I have not included the book adaptations of some of these movies.

I hope that you enjoy and maybe read a few of these.
