Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.


 


Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl. This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born (These can be books you’ve read or want to read!) (submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can be found here. I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.

 

The Classics

1- Pride & Prejudice

This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media.

2- To Kill A Mocking Bird

I was so surprised by how much I loved this book. I would recommend this because it is a classic, but at times, it reads like a story ahead of its time.

3- Jane Eyre

 

Another one of my favorite classics needed to make the list. I would hand/ recommend this book because of the mysterious, and gothic vibes the book has. I think a non-reader would like those if they could get into the story.

YA

4- Foolish Hearts

 

This book came out in more recent years, but I just love it. I think someone who doesn’t read would like this because the plot is easy to follow, and the characters are memorable.  

5- The Hunger Games

 

I loved The Hunger Games series growing up. I think a non-reader would love them because it’s dystopian, and they are action packed. 

6- Fangirl

Everyone probably thought that my favorite YA book would end up on this list. Again, this book is easy to follow because of the plot, and the characters are memorable. I feel a non-reader could relate to Cath’s love of fandom in some way.

7- The Lunar Chronicles

For a reader that would want some Sci-Fi and Dystopia, I would recommend/ hand this one. I devoured the four major books in this trilogy last year. The books are action-packed, and it has an array of characters.

Adult

8- Red, White & Royal Blue

I read this book last summer, and I fell in love with it. I would recommend this because it has political and personal drama, and it talks about love. This is also a book that would diversify the non-readers list because it is m/m romance.   

9- In A Holidaze

I loved this book so much last December. I would recommend this/ hand it to a non-reader because Groundhog Day is a known movie, and so they would have some background. I think they would enjoy the plot and the characters as well.

Middle Grade

10- Percy Jackson and anything in that universe

 Who says that you need to be 10-13 to read Middle Grade? I read several books as an adult, and I loved them so much. These books have action, and a large cast with some diversity.

      I might toss it on my tbr for this year. It's been years since I've read it. I might pair it with the Lizzie Bennet book for two rereads.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release.

Top Ten Tuesday-- Favorite Places to read

  Hi! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme Jana hosts @ thatartsyreadergirl This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists, and bringing the book blogging community together. Each Week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will post our list as a reply. We also have the option of going rogue, and posting a topic of our own choosing or a past topic. This week out topic is favorite places to read.   1- At my desk   I read a lot in my room and at my desk. I’m trying to find another method because I tend to stop reading and look at a notification that distracts me. I enjoy reading at my desk because it’s easy.  2- In bed I need to be wide awake to read in bed, but I might start doing it more. Reading in bed is less distracting for me, but it still can make me tired. 3- In the car Some weeks I spend a lot of time in the car. When I’m in the the car I’ll try to read a chapter or two, but it sends up being more like 3-4 depending on how long the car ride is.
