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- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
