Top Ten Tuesday: Books About Friendship

5.13.2014


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This weeks topic is "Books I almost put down but didn't."



  • Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - I'm not even going to lie about my brief moment of shallowness when I read about Etienne being shorter than Anna but I told myself to shush it and keep reading and I loved him!
  • Hopeless by Colleen Hoover - I actually put this one to the side several times before I finally read it all the way through. I have no idea why it was such a struggle in the beginning because wow, it was not what I was expecting.
  • Frenched by Melanie Harlow - This one simply started of slow for me. It turned out to be a nice easy read.
  • The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken - This is another one I simply put to the side or stalled in favor of other books but it was an interesting one!
  • Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - kept stalling. Then I was properly introduced to the Darkling, heh.
  • This Girl by Colleen Hoover - I wasn't fond of this series being three books, because so much drama and heartache but I don't like leaving a series unfinished. It turned out to be a good read!
I found six for this weeks! I didn't have sufficient time today like I usually do to do something creative to get to the full ten so I found these for my list pretty quickly. I ended up enjoying every one of these so I have to say I'm glad I didn't put them down or quit them! Mostly at the time of reading each of them the first time, I wasn't in the mood for the kind of story they were so I switched to reading something else. No regrets!

What are some of the books you ended up not putting down? Are you glad you didn't?

I do that often actually now that I think of it put something to the side after only a few chapters because I am not in the mood for it, great list! =)

Yeah, I always try to give the book a fighting chance before quitting. Thank you!
I'm glad you picked them up again. I have those times, too. Mood really affects our reading. The Darkest Mind was pretty 'meh' for me but I absolutely love the sequel, Never Fade. :D

Haha yes! It was a little bit on the meh side for me too, though the plot was interesting. I haven't managed to start Never Fade yet tho!
Good list, Anna and the French Kiss also make my list although my reasons for not liking St.Clair are not something as minor or easily overlooked as being short.
