Top Ten Books Dealing With Tough Subjects

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and Bookish

I always find books that deal with death to be really tough for me. They often leave me crying, or at least they do when they are well written. That's why many of my picks are that kind of books. I didn't choose ten books this week, but I picked eight of my favorite books.


Saving June by Hannah Harrington
Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozette
If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin

Hold Still by Nina LaCour
The Boy in Stripped Pajamas by John Boyne
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green


If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Fall For Anything by Courtney Summers
Thirteen Reasons Why by JayAsher


Shine by Lauren Myracle

Top Ten Favorite Books I read before I was a Blogger


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and Bookish


I find it so hard to remember what I've read before I became a blogger. Here are some of the titles I know for sure I read before I was a blogger.


The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
Do I really need to explain this series? I have love this series ever since I first started it when I was around ten. It is, and always will be, one of my favorite series.


Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
This was one of the series that really brought me back into Young Adult. I bought it on a whim while I was shopping on Amazon, and I never regretted it. 

His Dark Material by Philip Pullman
I read this series when I was a child in French, and my copy is almost destroyed. I think I read it over twenty time, and I took it with me on a few trips.


If I Stay by Gayle Forman
I fell in love with Gayle Forman/s writing with this book. It was one of those lucky discovery, as I had never heard of that book before buying it. I saw it a the right time, and it came home with me.


My Side of the Story by Will Davis
This book was both touching and hilarious. I bought this book mostyl because it stood out on the shelves, and it got me curious. 


Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
One of the rare adult series I still read up to this day. I think I read the first four books in less than two days. 


Aliss by Patrick Senecal
This book is written by a Quebec author, and I don't think there is any English translation. Still, Aliss is probably one of the most weird and extrem retelling of Alice in Wonderland I have ever read. Let's just say it's for an older audience.

I didn't make it to ten this week, but I chose books I really loved.

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I'd like to start but I haven't

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and Bookish



Razorland by Ann Aguirre
This series sounds really good, and with the final book coming out soon, it would be the perfect time to start it.


Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
Everone has been raving about this series, but I still haven't started it.  



Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock
This book was recommended by a friend, and the sequel is coming out soon. I want to read it before the sequel comes out.


Immortal City by Scott Speer
This sounds like a great series,  and I have been curious about it since I first heard of it. The sequel is supposed to come out soon, so it would be a good time to read it.




The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda
This sounds amazing, but I haven't read it yet. I've heard only great things about it.


Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
This sounds amazing, but I haven't bought it yet. I need to get to it soon, especially with the sequel coming out soon.



The Tiger Saga by Colleen Houck
I have the first book, and I've heard really great things about this series. I need to read it soon.



The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen
I have the entire series on my shelves....



Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston
I've had the second book of this series on my shelves for a while, but I haven't bought the first one yet. I always forget to get it....



Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness
I've had this book as an audiobook for the last two years. I don't really know why I haven't read (or listened to) it yet.

Top Ten Tuesday: Authors That I'd Put On My Auto-Buy List


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and Bookish


1. John Green

Do I really need to explain this one? I've loved everything I've read from him. He could publish a cookbook and I would still buy it....


2. Stephanie Perkins

Anna and Lola made me swoon. There is something about her characters that make it so easy for me to love them. I just want more. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is.



3. Gayle Forman


She wrote some of my favorite contemporary. I would buy anything she writes.


4. Ruta Sepetys



I think that if an author can write something like Between Shades of Gray and Out of the Easy, they can write about everything...


5. Victoria Schwab
Her writing is simply gorgeous. That's enough for me to put her on my Auto-Buy list.




6. Michelle Hodkin
If what she writes next is half as good as Mara Dyer, I'll love it.



7. Julie Kagawa
She is a master in her genre. Seeing Julie Kagawa's name on a book makes it a must-buy for me.



8. Leigh Bardugo
Read Shadow and Bone and you will understand why she is on my list.



9. Richelle Mead
I've loved all her YA books, and I've enjoyed her adult books. I think I will love about everything she writes next.



10. Courtney Summers
Her books make me feel all the things, and she's Canadian! One of my favorite authors.
