Top Ten Tuesday



This meme is hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish, and this week, the topic is:

Top Ten Things To Read When You Need Something Light and Fun 

Links go to Goodreads. Now, admittedly I don't read things classified as "light and fun" that often (I'm more of a fan of the darker stuff.) So I did a bit of head-scratching on this list, for sure.

 Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)

1. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - When I saw this week's list title, this is the first book that popped into my head.

Tuesdays at the Castle (Castle Glower #1)

2. Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George - Honestly, I think that maybe 85% of middle grade books could be considering light, but this was one I enjoyed a lot in particular.

Dealing with Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #1)

3. Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede - I've only read the first book in this series, but I loved it as a kid.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood, #1)

4. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares - The movies of these are actually just as good as the books, in my opinion.

Inkheart (Inkworld, #1)

5. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke - This list is turning into books I liked when I was younger.

Just Listen

6. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen - Really, I could have put any of her books on here (except maybe Dreamland).

Going Too Far

7. Going too Far by Jennifer Echols - Maaaaybe there were some darker themes tot this, but I still got that "light read" feel when I was done.

Breadcrumbs

8. Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu - I really should re-read this at some point, I really enjoyed it.

My Life Next Door

9. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick - *sigh* I adore Samantha and Jace.



Eleanor & Park

10. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - Funning + touching = awesome.
