Top Five: Underrated Books

Top 5 Books Underrated Books
  1. 1Q84 by Haruki Marukami.  This is a book I just finished last year, which was a pleasant relief, because it has taken me a few years to finish, and I have only heard two people mention it on Booktube. Despite a few things I didn’t like about it I thought this book was compelling and intriguing, and I am surprise no one talks about it.  I think it’s a book worth and talking about it.  I’m not saying it’s my favorite or the best book ever, but I think it’s worth a read.
  2. The 13th Tale by Diana Setterfield.  I absolutely loved this book!  This was a story within a story, which is one of my favorite concepts.  A woman becomes fascinated by this author, who wrote a set of fairytales.  There are 12 stories published, but a 13th was written, not published.  She wants to find about this story.  Sadly enough, I can’t recall the details, but like 1Q84 I want to hear people’s thoughts on it.
  3. This isn’t a specific book, but an author I feel is underrated, and that’s Kate Morton.  Her stories are so beautiful and full of poetic language.  I mean it’s not written like poetry, but her style is poetic to me.  She writes these fascinating and thrilling mysteries that are like puzzles that the reader and book’s protagonist has to put together.  She knows how to write brilliant female characters and good male ones too.  
  4. The Lady Trent Mysterious by Gilbert Morris.  This is a Victorian mystery trilogy that is very fun and thrilling that I have never heard people talk about.  It is a very enjoyable read with a bit romance.  I think a turn-off might be how it talks about Christian beliefs and those that who are atheist or non-Christians not like, but I think the mystery, romance, and historical setting is worth reading it.
  5. North and South by Elizabeth Glaskell.  People always talk about Jane Austen’s works and the Bronte sister’s books, but I rarely hear about this love story.  I love this story and prefer it over Pride and Prejudice, which the themes of this novel are similar too.  I saw the BBC mini series first and then read the book.

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3.     Alice Cullen from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.   She’s

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like everybody else as a I r
