Top Ten Books I Feel As Though Everyone Has Read but Me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books I Feel As Though Everyone Has Read But Me

1.)    Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
2.)    Feed by Mira Grant
3.)    The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
4.)    Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran
5.)    The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
6.)    Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
7.)   A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
The above are all books I have been meaning to read for a LONG time and I just have not yet picked up (some of them I even own!!).  I hope to get to at least  a few of these this fall.
8.)    Anything by Sarah Dessen-Please don’t hate me for this.  I have read a Sarah Dessen book but it really didn’t do anything for me.  I feel like all of the bloggers love her books and there is always someone raving about her so I kind of feel left out.
9.)    Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
10.) The Iron King series by Julie Kagawa
These last two are books I have seen around a TON of blogs lately; they seem really popular right now though I don’t really have any desire to read them.  Can you convince me otherwise?? 

What books do you feel as though everyone has read but you?

  1. I love Cassandra Clare's books and like the historical angle in her prequel series. I am eagerly looking forward to Clockwork Prince.

    I haven't read The Name of the Wind yet though I recently bought it before I went on vacation (turned out not to be a "vacation read" for me). I have read the first eight chapters as a preview on Amazon and really liked them. I have read Madame Tussaud (really good but not as good as Cleopatra's Daughter for me) and Between Shades of Gray (loved it!). I wanted to try A Game of Thrones but now that it is so popular I will probably wait. I want to get it from the library in case I don't like it but of course there is a huge waiting list now. I should have tried the series years ago when it was first recommended to me!

    I am one of those bloggers that likes Sarah Dessen but I know that like all books, hers are not for everyone. :)

    I also read and enjoyed Bloodlines but unless you've read the Vampire Academy series I wouldn't read Bloodlines as it contains major spoilers (it is first in a spin off series). As far as The Iron King series, I think you're not missing out on anything. I read them just because I feel like I should finish out the series. To be fair I think book three was better than the first two but you have to put up with a lot of whining and teen angst to get there...

  2. I've only heard of one of those books! #5. Naturally enough I haven't read any.

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books .  It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
