Top Ten Favorite Books I Read Before I Was A Blogger

 
toptentuesday

Each week, The Broke and Bookish host a Top Ten Tuesday based on a certain bookish topic. Other bloggers are able to participate and post their own top ten list based on the topic.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Top Ten Favorite Books I Read Before I Was A Blogger.

This question might be kinda, sorta, a problem, or at least, work where I have to stalk the books I reviewed list.

So here’s my list in no particular order:

everneath senior ransom

1. Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Everneath is my favorite book based on the Persephone myth.

2.How Not to Spend Your Senior Year by Cameron Dokey
This is one of the first romantic comedies I’ve ever read published by Simon Pulse. I love how everything worked in How Not to Spend Your Senior Year, especially the mystery and romance.

3. Ransom by Lois Duncan
I love the whole idea of this book and the unique relationships that was either revealed or developed.

stranger summer life

4. Stranger with My Face by Lois Duncan
Stranger with My Face is the first book I’ve ever read that taught me about astral projection. It’s still the best book I’ve ever read focused on astral projection.

5. Summer in the City by Elizabeth Chandler
The romance in this book got me swooning for days. The ending was also so not expected.

6. Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
This is the first young adult science fiction book I’ve ever read. I love that the situation in Life As We Knew It can really happen to us.

perfect happens wutheringheights

7. Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott
Perfect You is my first Elizabeth Scott book. I love Kate and Will’s weird relationship.

8. When It Happens by Susane Colasanti
The first book I’ve ever read by Susane Colasanti. I completely fell in love with the characters and their situation, but if I read this book again now, I don’t think I’ll like it as much as the first time I’ve read it.

9. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I was assigned to read Wuthering Heights my junior year in high school, and expecting to hate it, I avoided it like the plague until I actually read it. Yes, the characters are crazy, but hey, I can’t help but love the book anyway.

crank
10. Crank by Ellen Hopkins
The first young adult book I’ve ever read was Crank. It came highly recommended from one of my friends and I fell in love with Ellen Hopkins’ writing style right away. Her poetry has so much meaning and feeling in them and she’s the only young adult author not afraid to venture into tough problems in the world.
 
 
 
 
And now, I want to know, what are your top ten books you read before you were a blogger?

      Yeah, I feel like I’ve always been blogging too, which was why it was so hard to come up with this list!

    Great list!! The only ones I know though are Everneath, Crank, and Weithing Heights. So, my TBR pail just got a lot longer.
    I am think about reading an Ellen Hopkins book, but I don’t know if I’ll like the writing style. So, I’m a little wary on buying one of them.

    I love Susan Beth Pfeffer’s dystopian series. It’s one of my favorites! I also found the Crank series really compelling, even though the subject was tough and the writing was just raw. Definitely memorable.

    Happy TTT!

      I love Susan Beth Pfeffer’s series too, especially how it could really happen in real life.
      And yes, Ellen Hopkins’ books are just so raw and REAL.

    I LOVE Lois Duncan! She is definitely one of my favorite authors of all-time. I read most of everything she wrote when I was in Middle School! Stranger with My Face and Lost in Time are my faves! And I just loved the style of Crank. It just amazed me!

    The only two I’ve read are Everneath and Wuthering Heights. But I loved Everneath- I read it after I started blogging or I also would have added it!

      I ALMOST read Everneath after I started blogging, thank goodness. It was one of the books that convinced me to start blogging. :D
