Top Ten Tuesday- books or series I wish I read as a teen

Hello! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @thatartsyreadergirl. The eme was born out of a love of list and bringing the book blogging community together. This week's topic was single word titles submitted by Kitty from Kitty Marie’s Reading Corner. I don't know that many to do ten, and I was not feeling the topic. Here are ten books I wish I had read as a teen. Most of these I enjoyed as an adult, but I would have loved them as a teen as well. 
The Percy Jackson Series

As a teen, I would have eaten up this mythology series. I've always had a love of history, and mythology, and this would have been perfect. The first book was out when I was a teen, I just never knew about them. 

A Court of Thorns and Roses series

This series came out in 2015, and I really enjoyed it. Honestly, as a teen, this book series would have been my introduction to fantasy, and maybe I would read more fantasy today if I had read these as a teen. 

Fangirl

I talk about this book so much on the blog. As a teen, Cath would have been my favorite character and a character I deeply related to. I'm glad I read this book when I did because it captured my heart. 

Tash Hearts Tolstoy

Tash is another character I would have loved as a teen. I would have loved the characters and the story of this less talked about novel. 

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

I read this book a few years ago, with the release of Love Simon, and I adored it so much. Like Fangirl, this book captured my heart. I loved Simon and his friends. 

Yes, No, Maybe So

This is a recent release, as a teen, I would have loved this book just as much as I did when I read it recently. The characters are delightful, and I would have loved Maya and Jamie. 

Romanov

Even as a teen, I loved history, and the Romanov's. I would have loved Nastya and her story as a teen. 

Little Women

I read Little Women in college for a paper and I loved it. I feel the story would have hit more as a teen than it did when I read the book in college. 


A Little Princess 

This book is on my TBR for the year. I didn't read many classics on my own as a child, or as a teen. As a teenager, I would have loved Sarah as a teen I feel.

      The movies were okay but I think the books are better.

    Fangirl is awesome, I agree! And yes mythology- I'm the same, I would have totally devoured the PErcy Jackson books as a kid :)

    Little Women and A Little Princess are two of my all-time favorites. I confess that I could not finish Fangirl and am not a fan of Rowell :-/

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.  ...

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...
