Top Ten Tuesday ~ Books People Have Been Telling Me I MUST Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by 

The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic: 
Books People Have Been Telling Me I MUST Read

This week we each decided to do a list of 5 since we both get reading recommendations all the time.


Kristalyn's Picks

In all honesty, this book holds no interest for me.  I have heard it all, "The story line is excellent" "It isn't all about sex" I just really don't want to read it or I think I would have by now.

I have honestly been putting this series to the side for a LONG time, but I intend to get to it very soon!  I actually got a call from my sister not long ago thanking me for mentioning it on one of my posts that I wanted to read this series because she loved it so much.  I SWEAR I'm going to read it VERY soon!

Here it is!  The one book you will never see me review because I never, EVER intend to read it.  I swear if I hear one more person tell me I HAVE to read this book because it is SO good I'm going to get sick.  My two main reasons: I don't do cancer books and I don't willingly go into books that make me wish I had bought stock in Kleenex.


This is one I have been back and forth with a lot on whether or not I'm going to read it.  My friend Amber at Paradise of Pages recently just did a reread on this series and I think she has finally convinced me it's time I give it a shot.

 
This is the other series that dear Amber insists I read.  It is high up there on my radar and I have been told by MANY people that this is one I need to read.  Okay....I'll do it!  Soon I hope.  


Beighley's Picks


People have always told me that I should read this book, and it's been on my TBR list since it practically came out, but I just never got to it.  When the movie came out and it got all hyped up I took it off because I couldn't stand hearing about it anymore.  I also was done hearing all of its comparisons to The Hunger Games because Hunger Games will ALWAYS be better!  I finally got to watch the movie and I ended up liking it, but I'm glad I never wasted my time reading the book, especially since they have a horribly sad ending.  

Since the day she's started them, my mom has always wanted me to read these books... then I asked her a question.  "Can you buy them on Kindle?", I said.  "No... they are not available for the Kindle, BUT you can buy them on a Nook", she said.  I cringed at the answer, and from that day forth, I chose to not read these books until they were available for Kindle.  I liked the prequel book "Tiger's Promise" a lot though, so I'm DYING to read them!  I have decided to hold out until these books are available on Kindle.


This is actually a book I wanna read someday as well.  I've always heard about how amazing TFiOS is and it took all my willpower not to puke every time.  With all the popularity of the TFiOS movie, I got to hear about how much better this book is (not that it's a hard thing to do).  Even though TFiOS just isn't my kinda book, I hope this one will be!

First off, I'd like to give a shout out to Amber from Paradise of Pages for calling me out on being a cheater!  Since I wasn't sure I'd end up liking these books or not, I read the first two graphic novel versions from the library.  The good news is that I ended up liking them so I can't to read them for real this time!

This is another book @lynniespalmtree keeps nagging me to read.  I don't really remember what it's about, but I remember it sounded interesting.  I'll definitely be crossing this off my TBR list soon!
