Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where we make lists of bookish things!
This week's topic is all about those books EVERYONE keeps telling you to read that you still haven't gotten around to. Some of these are just embarrassing.

That's all I've got. I actually had a really hard time coming up with these. Guess I don't listen very well when people are book-pushing me. Lol. What's on your list? What other books do I NEED to read?
Okay, seriously your entire list. Can I just book push them all on you??? :) Well, except for game of thrones. Because I got partway into the 4th and put it down and haven't picked it up again actually haha. But. Harry Potter. HARRY POTTER. Get on that! Love that series to death. And I won't hate you if you don't like it, I promise! :) Lux series. I am giving you a look right now. Seriously. Ok but maybe I'm a bit hypocritical bc well, my TTT... hahaha. Just remember you need to text me when you get to binge reading it!! Pushing the Limitsss! So many swoony guys are in store for you! And I really do think you'll love the grisha trilogy! the bronze horseman is EPIC, kelly is not kidding around. and VA AHHHHHH binge read that too! I did and it was like the best decision ever. SO GOOD. Sooo basically, yeah, all the books. Ready, go! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha this is why I love you. You make me smile first thing in the morning. I knew that you would love my list. I am going to get to all of these eventually I promise!!! Most of these are going to be binge-reads too. I'm excited. Lux series is definitely my next binge-read I think. Or Grisha. Which one???
DeleteI love this list! I have quite a few of these to read myself, but YES, you need to read Harry Potter ASAP. So much love for that series!
ReplyDeleteI know!! I'm such a bookworm failure for not having read them by now.... lol
DeleteSo many amazing series here! I need to read the Bronze Horseman as well but Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, and the Grisha Trilogy are all fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
I wish there were more hours in the day and I didn't have to you know work so I could just sit home and binge them all!!
DeleteGrishaaaa! You will love it. :) I need to read some JLA and the Vampire Academy series, too!
ReplyDeleteI know I will!! I'm such a fantasy lover and I know it will be awesome, but I keep putting it off. *sigh* Yes you need to read JLA!!!!! Have you read any of her books yet?
DeleteYES!!! Not only am I SO FREAKING happy The Bronze Horseman is on your list, seeing my name next to it brings me so much joy!! SO AMAZING!!!! I hope you get to it soon!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of it until you started raving about it!! I can't wait to read it!!
DeleteYes, please read Harry Potter, like, right now! It's a comitment, but it's so fabulous. You will not hate it. The Grisha Trilogy was another series you will love. A long time ago before Veronica Roth was a super star and she still emailed her fans, she suggested Shadow and Bone to me. So glad I took her advice. It's a fantastic series of fantasy, sci- fi, love, action, the works. So get on HP, then pick up Grisha. You will not be disappointed! -Dana
ReplyDeletelol thanks for the reassurance. Really??? That's amazing!! I definitely want to read Grisha soon. I'm hoping to read the first HP book by the end of the year.
DeleteThe Grisha series is what turned me on to fantasy novels! Before I was a strict only contemporary, maybe a little dystopian reader. Hope you get to VA soon!! It's one of my favorites.

That makes me so happy to hear! I LOVE fantasy!
DeleteThe Grisha series is one of my favorite fantasy series! The Vampire Academy books start off slow, but by the third book they really start to pick up. I also need to pick up the Lux series, but I have too many books that I need to read!

haha tell me about. So many books, so little time right? I will never ever get through my TBR before I die. :(
DeleteOk, here's my book pushing. Lux series…READ IT!!!! VA series…READ IT!!!! Grisha trilogy…READ IT!!!! And Harry Potter…obviously, but honestly, you may not like it as much as you would have, just because at the time, it was so different. Does that make sense? Have you seen any of the movies?? And I haven't even heard of The Bronze Horseman, I'll have to read the synopsis. ~Pam
ReplyDeletehahaha I will read them all eventually. That's what I'm worried about with HP. I haven't seen any of the movies so I'm like completely ignorant about all things HP. I don't understand any of people's references and I've somehow managed to avoid all spoilers. I have no idea how.
DeleteBronze Horseman is historical fiction so not sure if it will be up your alley or not but I've heard amazing things from Kelly. You're not big on historical fiction though are you?
Harry Potter! I can definitely understand the anxiety of not liking a book that has throngs of fans, but like 99% of us are not rabid, and we will not rage against you. But what it...what if! You read the series, and it turns out you really, really like it? Then you get to squee about the series along with the throngs of fans (it's really fun).

haha yes, I agree. That what if I like it really makes me want to read it. Hopefully I will get to it soon! That way I can finally understand all these Harry Potter references ppl make...
