Top 5 Wednesday: Fantasy and Science Fiction You Want to Read ASAP

Top 5 Fantasy and Science Fiction Books I Want to Read ASAP
I should take out the word science fiction, because all of these will be fantasy, but this is a list of 5 of books from those genre’s you want to read immediately.  Top 5 Wednesday was originally created by Ginger Reads Lainey and is now hosted by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes.  Here is the Goodreads group if you want to participate:
1.   Heartless by Marissa Meyer.  I really loved her Lunar Chronicles series and I love retellings, especially of stories like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz.  I have been wanting to get this book for a long time, but since it’s hardback and I don’t have the money I’m waiting to get it.  I also have a soft spot for retellings where they are origin stories are about villains, though I do get annoyed when it’s used as a way to excuse the villain’s actions. *Cough*Regina Mills*Cough*.
2.   A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas.  I’m saving this for next month, my birthday month, but it is very difficult since I watch Booktubers, who constantly talk about how this one is so much better than the first.  I loved the first one, but because I have been slightly spoiled it hurts my fangirl to know ACOTAR is a BATB retelling, and that’s my favorite Fairytale/Disney movie.  I’m sure I don’t have to explain why.
3.   The Black Prism by Brent Weeks.  I had heard about this book from Peruse Projects on Booktube and from how she described it’s right up my alley.  I had just ordered from Barnes & Noble and have been eager to read it, but like ACOMAF I’m waiting a little bit before I jump on it.
4.   The rest of the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo.  I just read the first, and ordered the last one yesterday.  I’m also eager to get two Six of Crows, but I am told that it’s a good idea to read this trilogy first.  I enjoyed the first book and can’t wait to read the other two books as well.
5.   Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas.  This is the fourth book in the Throne of Glass series.  I’m really enjoying this series, though I am sad that my ship is dead, but I am still eager to continue.  The characters as individuals are really cool and fun to read about.  I’m eager to continue Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian’s story.


Sorry this was so late, but I forgot today was Wednesday.  I had a lot of stuff on my mind.

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
