Top Ten Tuesday is
hosted by The Broke and the
Bookish Each week a new top ten list is provided for enjoyment. ^_^ This week’s
topic is books you loved but never posted reviews for. These are in no
particular order.
I
didn't start my blog until July and sometimes I wish I had started sooner
because there are several books I've read that miss out on recognition. I
might use them for Treasured Thursdays since they are awesome great gems and
definitely deserve the Love.
My
top ten are:
1.
The Iron King - Julie Kagawa
This is by far my FAVORITE story and series about
fey. I wish I had read it during the time in which I could have reviewed it. Mrs.
Kagawa’s imaginative world overlaps the real one in such a convincing pleasing
manner it’s completely plausible to check the closet for bogeys before bed.
2.
The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
I LOVE this book. This is the first
steampunk genre book I’ve read that A. seems plausible and B. isn’t lost in the
technically of the creations. Miss Cross provides a fantastically imaginative
story that is enjoyable enough to reread several times over.
3.
Forget You - Jennifer Echols
This is such a sweet story. It’s something
that does occur in real life. This isn’t just a story about what if this
happened. This is really what some of us when through in high school. The care
Miss Echols puts into realism is gorgeous and loving.
4. Hounded - Kevin Hearne
I have a hard time finding a male author
that writes an intriguing, captivating story. Mr. Hearne is one that I can say
deserves props as an awesome creative writer. I love the style and cadence
Atticus has and devour these books in one sitting.
5.
Halo - Alexandra Adornetto
This is a sweet poignant story. It’s not
fancy in detail or in creatures. It’s more one of my favorites because it’s
touching. Defying the rules isn’t something that’s easy to do, even when it’s
the right thing to do. I think the love here is sweet and innocent.
6.
Stray - Rachel Vincent
Rachel Vincent is an excellent author. I
haven’t read any book of hers that disappoints. Werecats are not often written
about and the way we get to see her image of their lifestyle is unique and
stylish.
7.
The Goddess Test - Aimee Carter
This is the most original take on
mythology yet. If someone knows anything better please feel free to tell me,
but until then Miss Carter’s interpretation of mythology reigns supreme.
8.
Shiver - Maggie Stiefvater
I will be the first to tell everyone that
werewolves and vampires are overated… unless we’re talking about Shiver.
This is a beautiful story. At first it’s a bit disconcerting with the changes
in POV but the reasoning behind it is brilliant and the story moves along so
smoothly. I can’t imagine it being written any other way.
9.
Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr
While not held in such high regard as The
Iron Fey series, The Wicked Lovely Series certainly holds second place firmly.
The fey don’t live in a fantasy realm, they live here, amoungst us, surrounding
us, playing with our heads, and we don’t even know it. I give Melissa Marr
credit for the realistic idea that questions what’s truly real and what’s fey
play.
10.
Hush Hush - Becca Fitzpatrick
Angel books are a dime a dozen. However,
there’s always that one that’s actually a silver dollar. Hush Hush is
that silver dollar. The perspective of the angels are much differently
portrayed then what the common mind portrays. Definitely a must read for those
that love angelic stories.
That's a list of awesome books, i still have to read most of them though.
