Top Ten Books I Recommend

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish!
 I honestly don't recommend books to often because lots of people in my life do not read that much. But these are the ones I do talk about in hopes of getting people to read! I have gotten my sister to Game of Thrones and Divergent. I also got my brother to read Graceling and Enclave! They both loved them.  My biggest success story is a girl I work with. I got her to read The Hunger Games, Divergent and If I Stay and I would say she likes them even more then I do!


1. Game of Thrones- I think many people have read this book because of the TV show. But for those who haven't and can take a longer read I say go for it because it will be worth it.
2. The Hunger Games- One of the books that made me love Dystopia.
3. Divergent- This series is great for someone who loves action! You wont be able to put it down because you will need to know what happens!
4. If I Stay- A sad book but one I think is worth the read.
5. Enclave/Outpost- Outpost is my favorite book this year. I love Deuce and how she has grown. I also enjoy Fade the love interest. Which is saying something because a ton of the books I have read recently have been the opposite.


6. The Kitchen House- A adult historical novel. Historical was my favorite in the past but I had not read that many recently. I picked this up in the beginning of the year and I cannot wait to read it again. So many things happen in this book that are terrible, but its about love, family, and its amazing.
7.Anna and the French Kiss- When I first started this I did not think I would like it that much! But I was so wrong. Anna was frusterating at first but don't let that stop you! I ended up loving her and Etienne.
8.Graceling- Another book full of action. I liked Katsa personality and I liked her love interest. Plus no insta-love. Yay!
9. The Knife of Never Letting Go- It is kinda hard to get into at first but the story is awesome and unique.
10. The Giver- I re-read The Giver this year and it was awesome. I think everyone should pick it up, and its short so people who might not read that often don't have to worry about length!

Mini Book Review :If I Stay by Gayle Forman

I have been so busy with school I have not been able to write any reviews or read very much.(Well other books then the ones I have to use to write my research paper on.) So I decided to post a mini review of a book that I read last year!  I  really want to re-read If I Stay so if I do I will be writing a longer review.

I definitely liked this book! I usually tend to enjoy dystopian/paranormal/fantasy books, but If I Stay was so good that I went on to my good reads and added a ton of more contemporary books to read!

I liked all the characters in this book. They all seemed so real, like the could be your friend or neighbour. My favorites were Adam, Mia, and Gramps. I really felt for Mia in the book and kept thinking what if this was my family? I am close to my family so I honestly don't know what I would do in Mia's situation to stay or go.

But I am happy with the choice she made! I have to read what happens next. I am going to the bookstore on Friday when I get payed to pick up Where she Went!!( I have read it since this review. I enjoyed it but I liked If I Stay better.)

If you haven't read this definitely pick this up!

I rate it: 4/5

November TBR Pile

  Hey everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend.  This November is going to be very busy for me school wise. I have three midterms next week, a research paper, and a group project due in a couple of weeks. So saying that I probably wont be reading to many books this month. But here are the ones I do plan on reading!( If I don't change my mind :P)

Shut Out by Kody Keplinger

 I have already started this and I really like it so Far! I loved The DUFF so I was excited when this came out in paperback.

The Death Cure by James Dashner

 The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials were not my favorite reads ever but I do want to finish this series before the end of the year. I have heard more negative things about this one but I hope I enjoy it. 

White Cat by Holly Black

I have had this on my shelf for awhile and I want to see what it is all about!

 If I Stay by Gayle Forman

This book will be read only if I have time after I finish the other three. I have read this before and I loved it so I am looking forward to rereading it. (Who else is excited for Gayle's new book Just One Day?)

Let me know in the comments what books you plan to read this month! :)
