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. ...

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...
