Top Ten Books You Read Before You Were A Blogger:
Now, admittedly, I haven't been doing this for very long, so I have quite a long list to choose from. ;) Links go to Goodreads.
1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - Twilight will always be among my favorite series because it's what made me interested in reading in general, and I still enjoy the books a lot.
2. I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga - This was one of my favorite reads of last year, and the sequel is coming out soon!
3. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers - I put off reading this forever because of the sheer size, but now I'm onto the sequel, which I'm also loving!
4. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry - This felt a little like Perfect Chemistry to me, so that definitely helped me like it.
5. Origin by Jessica Khoury - The plot was pretty original, and even though the insta-love was there, it was pretty sweet.
6. Something Like Normal by Trish Doller - One of my favorite contemporary reads of 2012; I don't get into that genre often so when I really like a book in it, it's awesome.
7. Looking For Alaska by John Green - I discovered this author last year, and now I firmly believe him to be one of the best.
8. Darkfever Karen Marie Moning - I absolutely adore this series. I recommend it to anyone who reads fantasy adult as well as YA.
9. Blood Red Road by Moira Young - Once you get past the dialect and lack of punctuation marks, this book is kickass.
10. Sempre by J.M. Darhower - I was in love with it as a fanfiction, and now I love the book.
I just started blogging as well so I tweaked my topic a bit. I didn't read John Green until recently as well and now I want to read ALL HIS BOOKS.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you - once I read The Fault in Our Stars I was convinced I had missed out big time on his previous works. I've read all his stuff now except for An Abundance of Katherines and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Thanks for stopping by. :)

DeleteI still have to read many books from this list!
ReplyDeleteWell, good luck and happy reading. :)
DeleteI really need to read I Hunt Killers. I heard nothing but good things about this book. Great list!
ReplyDeleteEm @ A Beautiful Madness
My Top Ten
It's an amazing book if you like YA a bit on the horror side. :)
DeleteTwilight seems to be popping up in quite a few lists! Looking for Alaska was my first John Green book. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I noticed that when I was poking around. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
I want to read a few of these books. Looking for Alaska was my first John Green book and my favorite so far. I still haven't read TFiOS, though, so maybe my favorite will change? I don't know. Great list (:
ReplyDeleteWell, if you're like me, it will definitely change. Looking for Alaska was great, but TFiOS . . . there are no words.
ReplyDeleteLooking For Alaska is an amazing book and I've been wanting to read Something Like Normal. I've seen Blood Red Road around but I never really took interest in it. I didn't know it was written in that style but I'm definitely checking it out now.
ReplyDeleteI was really put off by the language at first, but my friend swore it was good, so I pushed through and now I love Blood Red Road. :) Something Like Normal is a really good contemporary book; that's not usually my favorite genre so when I find something I love, it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list Rebecca. I also had Twilight on my Top Ten
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
