Today's Topic is:
Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most
I have a special page devoted to my recommendations since the start of my blog, but these are the ones that I tell people about most:
1. Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty- Everyone needs to meet Jessica Darling.
2. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson- A must read for YA Contemporary ppl.
3. The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart- Ruby Oliver, another unforgettable character.
5. Courtney Summers- all her books... I'm obsessed!! She's really funny on twitter and tumbler too... you guys should totally follow her!
6. Sarah Dessen- again all her books! She's amazing... these 3 are my favs:
7. Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski- I loved this book because it reminded me of how I was when I was a teenager (except for the whole chlamydia thing).
8. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian- A new series that I'm obsessed with.
9. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry- Best book of last year IMO.
10. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick- I just read this at the beginning of the year, but I've been recommending it ever since :)
Honorable Mentions:
TFIOS- John Green: I don't recommend this as much as I should bc it's kind of a hard subject for some people to read about... and not knowing people's background with cancer, I don't want to rec. something that's too tough for some people to read about.
Harry Potter- JK Rowling: I don't recommend this because everyone's already read this... otherwise I would!
Anna and the French Kiss- Stephanie Perkins: I love it and tell people about it all the time.
The Ghost and the Goth- Stacey Kade: Cute series that I love to tell people to read if they're looking for something fun.
So there is my list... it went kind of long this week! I guess there are a lot of books I like to tell people about :) What's on your list?
PS- I'm getting blog make-over and am still under construction, so sorry if things here look confusing....
The Boyfriend List was so cute and funny;Sarah Dessen's This Lullaby made my list too! Your new blog design looks fabulous! :) My TTT list: http://aliceinreaderland.com/2013/03/25/mostrecommended/

I'm not a fan of the contemporary genre but I'm trying to get into it, I'll check out some of these books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you recommendations! :)
Roxy @ Story Envy
I haven't read any from your list, but adding a few to my TBR list especially The Boyfriend List and Cracked Up to Be.
ReplyDeleteJessica @ Literary, etc.
I loved My Life Next Door so much, probably my favourite recent contemporary. I keep meaning to read something by Sarah Dessen, but I haven't read any of her books yet. But they sound fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many of my favorites on your list! I looove Sloppy Firsts, Speak, and Ten Things We Did.

Your blog looks AWESOME! It's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank You!! It's getting there :)
DeleteSpeak is amazing, I'm glad you recommend that one a lot! Many of the others on your list have been on my TBR for some time (Sloppy Firsts, TFIOS, etc) so I guess I need to get on those :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I really love This is not a test! :D
ReplyDeleteTT- Mel@thedailyprophecy.
Oh yeah, Pushing the Limits was definitely a favorite read of mine last year! I was just approve don Netgalley for Dare You To and I am so freaking excited!
ReplyDeleteI almost listed Speak on my TTT, too, but I didn't. It's a favorite for sure, though.
This is Not a Test made my TTT this week, too. And just yesterday I finally got my hands on Cracked Up To Be which I am so excited to read. Great list, lots of books I recommend all the time, too!
ReplyDeleteI need to read more Sarah Dessen books! I have heard only great things about them but I have read only one or two. I also must read other books by Courtney Summers - This is Not a Test was amazing :) Great picks :)
ReplyDeleteI GOT APPROVED FOR DARE YOU TO ON NETGALLEY. Oh man, I want to drop everything and READ THAT! Did you? They have the American version up.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I'm so happy for you!! I have it and didn't read it yet. I think I got the UK version, I wonder if it's different?
DeleteThis is a GREAT list because I haven't read any of these. And I WANT TO read a lot of these, so now they are all going on my TBR list. Thank you! Also, the blog looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much OBSESSED with this list. I love all of the contemporary!! I NEED to read Sloppy Firsts. I feel like everyones read it and that it's one of those books you just have to read - especially if you're a contemporary fiend like me.
ReplyDeletegreat list!
My Top Ten
LOVE your new template and look! I also need to read Sloppy Firsts-I have it in an ebook but never got around to reading it! Burn for Burn is a book that I really didn't care for but I didn't know it was a series. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
