 Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most



1. The Opportunist was my favorite book of last year and Dirty Red has been my favorite this year! 

2. The Brenna Blixen series by Liz Reinhardt is perfect -- my favorite contemporary, YA series by far! 

3. The Secret History is my favorite book of all time.


4.  I probably recommend The Lux series by JLA more than any other books. It's just that good!

5.   Flat-Out Love was my favorite YA book of last year and a book I truly think everyone should read. 

6.   Dying to Please is my favorite book from one of my favorite authors, Linda Howard. I credit this book with getting me back into reading post-college in a major way! I subsequently read every Linda Howard novel out there and have ever since I read this one!



7.   For my friends that don't think they like science fiction - The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson

8.  For my friends that like vampires - Chicagoland Vampire series by Chloe Neill 

9.  For my friends that liked The Hunger Games - Divergent by Veronica Roth




10. The classic.

  3. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my TTT. As you said, I have The Secret History on my list too, great to see that you love that one so much. The Bell Jar is one I've always meant to read and still hope to one day. Thanks for introducing me to lots of new books too.

    1. You should definitely give Chicagoland a try -- I think it is such a great series -- not just as an urban paranormal series but out of all my favorite series, it is so well written!!

  9. A lot of people recommend Divergent. I read it and enjoyed it, though I can't say I adored it as much as most people. That's the only book I've read on this list, but I've been dying to try out some JLA.

    My Top Ten! :)

  10. Interesting list :) I've only read Divergent. I think I attempted The Bell Jar back when I was at Uni but I had to stop in order to focus on the books I was supposed to be reading!

  12. The only ones I've read are Divergent and Obsidian (both amazing)! But I've read excerpts of The Bell Jar in some of my university lectures and really need to make time for it at some point :)
    I've also heard great things about the Chicagoland Vampires series and I'll now check out some of those contemporaries...
    Thanks for sharing & stopping by!

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): ARC Greed

This discussion is inspired by my feelings lately when reading and reviewing ARCs versus the feelings I had when I requested those same ARCs: ARC GREED ARC greed -- have we all experienced this?  What I even mean by this term is that I sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at Netgalley and Edelweiss and  I sometimes over-request, if only because I can!  I get greedy when I see all the new and shiny ARCs available and I will sometimes request things that have even a hint of interest for me, not necessarily focusing only on those books that I really, really want.  The problem with this over-requesting and with getting greedy with requesting (and receiving) ARCs is when it comes time to read and review these ARCs.  Last month and this month, I have looked at my ARCs with a release date in each respective month and I just haven't wanted to read any of them.  I need to start asking myself -- If I was immediately approved for this ARC, would I read it right thi
