Top 5 Wednesday: Top 5 Books I Read Because of Booktube, Blogging, Goodreads......

Books I’ve Read Because of Blogging, Booktubing, Goodreads etc…
Let’s face it most of my books here will be books I have heard about on Booktube, but it’s possible I have heard about some on Facebook groups or on Goodreads.
1.    A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I had heard about this book series constantly, especially about the romance of Feyre and Rhysand, but it took me a while to finally buy it.  I bought the first book while I was staying with my Lola before we moved, so it was part of the handful of books I was about to read while I didn’t have access to my whole library with me.
2.    Sarah’s other series Throne of Glass it was the same as with A Court of Thorns and Roses.  I read the first two books while staying with my Lola too.  I was tired of the constant hints on how great it was.
3.    A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic trilogy) by V.E. Schwab.  Reagan from Peruse Projects talked about this trilogy a lot, and she is one of the booktuber that we like a lot of the same books.
4.    The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle) by Maggie Steifvater.  I don’t know if I’ll ever read her other series, but I really love The Raven Boys and am currently reading The Dream Thieves.  I love her writing style and her characters.

5.    Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.  This is the first book in a Dualogy, but I still haven’t read the second, but I am planning to soon.  Sam from Thoughts on Tomes loved this one along with The Grisha Trilogy, which isn’t my favorite I admit, but she is another booktuber whose opinion I trust. This was such a great read and just like The Raven Boys had great characters. I am eager to read Crooked Kingdom, but I don’t want to rush it.

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
