Today is Tuesday so that means another Top 5 Tuesday! This fantastic meme is hosted by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm. This week’s topic is top 5 books I have read because of blogs/Youtube. This was fairly easy because of so many of you I have discovered more great books that I could have imagined. Before Goodreads and my blog I would solely rely on the categories on iBooks. I know it is sad.
1) It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne
This is the one book I remember exactly who made me want to read this. Thank you Maxi for introducing me to one of my favorite YA contemporary novels.
2) A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
I was so iffy on this book for a long time but I am so glad I decided to indulge myself with this wonderful series. All thanks to literally almost every blogger.
3) Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
I kept hearing about THE DARKLING. I knew I had to read this.
4) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I seen a lot of people compare this to Caraval except better. I had to find out for myself… I am in the minority considering I thought Caraval was the better of the two!
5) Warcross by Marie Lu
I was not impressed with the plot at all since I am not into gaming much. But I kept seeing everyone’s rave reviews. I seen this at my library and figured it wouldn’t hurt. I was blown away with how much I enjoyed this.
What are some books you found from the blogging community?
I read A Darker Shade of Magic and the Night Circus because of the blogging world too!

The Night Circus is definitely one I found out about through blogs. I never would have picked it up if it wasn’t for the blogging community! You said minority – did you not like it??
Thanks for participating – added you to the list 🙂

It was OK but defiantly wasn’t my favorite or one I’ll probably read again. I thought Caraval was way better! Everyone else seems to think otherwise, haha! Thank you! ☺️☺️

In the minority? meaning people that preferred Caraval or The Night Circus? I like The Night Circus but it was a total mess for me XD Shadow and Bone never called my attention until I saw the new cover version! XD

I’ve seen so many people love The Night Circus better than Caraval. But I don’t see how, haha! It was a bit of a mess? Yes, the new cover for Shadow and Bone is so much prettier. I wish I had them!
