Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Brokeandbookish. This week’s theme is a Top Ten Freebie.. Since I love you guys so much, I decided to talk about the books I’ve discovered thanks to YOU. Because you talked about it on your blog, mentionned it in some blog post, I’ve heard about those books because of you. I added them to my TBR, and read them because YOU loved them. Don’t forget to click on the title of the books to read their fabulous synopsis!
1 • More than This, Patrick Ness
I can’t mention Patrick Ness enough, especially in that particular topic. Because the community is in LOVE with him, and thanks to all of you guys, I discovered this fantastic book. I know, I know, I’m definitely ordering the rest of his works in my next book haul.
2 • I’ll Give You The Sun, Jandy Nelson
I can never talk about that book enough, you must get sick of it already, aren’t you, ahah. I will forever thank you guys, especially Jenna, for pushing me to read this book. It was incredible.
3 • All The Bright Places, Jennifer Niven
it’s mainly because of all the hype surrounding that book, that I wanted to read it. And I did not regret it, at all. It was beautiful. Once again, I have to thank you guys for that!.
4 • Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard
Red Queen, a.k.a THE book everyone’s been talking about, loving/hating, or a little bit of both. It’s because I’ve heard so much about it from you, that I first decided to pick it up. It was entertaining, but I’m expecting more from the sequel.
5 • Anna and the French Kiss, Stephanie Perkins
This is THE book to read for every contemporary lover out there. And romance. And sweet, cute, swoon-y books. Seeing everyone head over heels for that title, that’s how I decided to pick it up. And I didn’t regret it.
6 • A Thousand Pieces of You, Claudia Gray
Another book I discovered thanks to you! A Thousand Pieces of You had been everywhere on the blogosphere before, and a little after its release. With that cover and that synopsis, I HAD to check it out. And it was AWESOME.
7 • Extraordinary Means, Robyn Schneider
I just as well could’ve talked about The Beginning of Everything. You guys introduced me to Robyn Schneider, and I am so, so glad that you did, because I loved both her books, and I can’t wait to read more from her !.
8 • Magonia, Maria Dahvana Headley
I know, the hype is BAD, but sometimes I can’t help listening to its little voice. And look at that cover! Seeing that book on everyone’s blog, I knew I had to check it out. I was kind of disappointed, sadly.
9 • Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, Becky Albertalli
How could I write that post without talking about Simon? This book was the equivalent of an earthquake in the community. In a good way, because, well, everyone loved it. Including me.
10 • The Accident Season, Moïra Fowley-Doyle
I can’t talk about that book enough, I just, can’t. I loved it too much for words, and I am so glad I’ve seen it everywhere, and heard everyone saying great things about it. Without that, I wouldn’t have picked it up, or maybe found out about it. And I’m so, so thankful.
What a good idea for a TTT! I too discovered Magonia, Simon and The Accident Season through blogging/Twitter and I’m so pleased (even if Magonia was completely demented and I sometimes still wake up in the middle of the night worried that a bird has flown into my chest). I discovered Six of Crows and the Grisha trilogy thanks to the online book community, along with basically a billion other books. Top Ten Tuesday is a particularly awesome way to find new books. I saw on one list today that there’s a ski-fi version of Persuasion, which I now must read or I will cry. Yay for booknerds!
YOU TOO FELT THAT WAY?! Sorry for the all caps here, but this whole bird-in-the-chest story kind of freaked me out a while, too! I haven’t read Six of Crows and the Grisha trilogy, maybe I will, I’m so curious about these, everyone seem to love them! 🙂
Yaay, that’s why I love top ten tuesdays so much! 😀
Thank you so much for your comment!! <3
There are SO many great books on this list! I absolutely LOVED More Than This by Patrick Ness, and I can’t wait to read his most recent YA book. I feel as though everything Ness writes is fantastic!
I just received his most recent YA book!! I’m excited to read it, and all of his other works. Patrick Ness amazed me with More than this, and I hope he’ll keep on doing that! 🙂
Thank you so much for commenting, Holly! <3
This is such a great topic!
Aww thank you, I’m happy to hear you like it! 🙂
Yeah, the blogging community has definitely introduced or persuaded me to read a few books I wouldn’t normally have read (like Red Queen).
My TTT
One of the many reasons why I love this community so much! 😀 Thank you for stopping by!
So many of these are on my TBR thanks to the book blogging community!! All The Bright Places is one of my favourite YA I read last year!
Yaay, I’m so happy to hear that! It’s great knowing that thanks to the community we can find out about great authors! 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Great spin on the freebie topic, Marie! The community has also convinced me to check out so many books that I am grateful for, so really awesome topic!
Thank you so much Kat! It’s so great to step sometimes out of our comfort zone thanks to other bloggers’ recommendations, and find out about great books! 😀
So true! I am sure there were olenty of books I wouldn’t have considered if it weren’t for some bloggers being really excited about them. ?
ME TOO! Seeing so many bloggers excited about some books, makes me want to read them badly, and I love it. It makes me want to read different genres (and hopefully, I will love it!) 😀
Exactly! It’s also the reason why my TBR is an untamable beast hahaha
Hahhaha, well, the struggle of being a book blogger :p
It’s a hard luck life hahaha (not really)
Wow! Great list of books! I love your topic choice. 🙂
Aww thank you so much, glad you liked it! 🙂
This is my “problem” with the book blogging communities, I already have a long list of books I want to read and then add to all the wonderfully reviewed books and not it’s even more extensive than before!!
This is a great list!! I have a few already on my list, but The Accident Season and Magonia seems interesting!
Haha, I get you, I have the same problem. My TBR is ENDLESS, and I don’t know when I’m going to read all those books. But it’s kind of exciting, adding new books to it, though 😀
Thank you so much! I LOVED The Accident Season so, so much! Magonia, a little less, but I hope you’ll like it if you check it out! 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by!
It’s very true, half the fun of books is finding and adding new books to your collection!
To be honest, Magonia I was really attracted to the cover page and sometimes I end up buying a book just for the cover haha
Hahah, I’m guilty of that, too…I fell in love with Magonia’s cover, and I was disappointed a bit by the inside afterwards, sadly 🙁
I hate when the inside of the book doesn’t match the outside of the book! But I’m glad I’m not the only person who buys books on a whim just because the cover was pretty!
Haha, well I’m glad I’m not alone, either! And there are some gorgeous covers out there 🙂
SO HAPPY YOU FOUND ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES
I love your enthousiasm haha! All the Bright Places was such a great discovery!! 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by! <3
this is fab! I don’t stop to think about all the awesome books i’ve gained because of blogging, but this post made me do just that, so thank you. I think i can agree with you about almost every single book on this list as well, and they’re all amazing 🙂
here’s my TTT!
Aw, you’re welcome! We add so many books to our TBR every day, it’s sometimes even harder to remember where they all come from! I’m so thankful for the book blogging community for making me add SO many books there 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by! <3
I discovered The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian from all my bookish blogger friends! And it was one of my favorite books from 2015 I’d say.
Ohh, I don’t know that book, I should check it out! 🙂 It’s so great, the books we can discover thanks to blogging! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing! 😀
YAY! Great choice of topic this week. I always love freebie week as people always do such amazing topics! When I first started blogging, I found so many amazing books thanks to this awesome community. So many of the ones you have found are favourites of mine.
Here’s my TTT post if you want to check it out. I picked non-book romances I would love to see get book adaptations.
Aw thank you so much, I’m so happy you like it! It’s amazing what blogging can bring us! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by! 🙂
Loving your list! 🙂 I love the book blogging community for book recommendations.
Thank you so much!! One of the many reasons why I love it so much, too! 🙂
I’ve discovered several of your list from the book blogging community as well, specifically Top Ten Tuesday 🙂 My TTT
That’s why the community is so great!! 😀 Thank you so much for stopping by Carrie! 🙂
Before starting to blog last year I literally had a long hiatus of a couple of years without reading, so I had not heard of writers like Patrick Ness, Stephanie Perkins, and even Rainbow Rowell, which is pretty crazy since they’re so popular. Anyway, I love this topic, Marie! Very creative. I have to say that thanks to the blogosphere and blogging my TBR has grown at least 3x its original size, haha.
Well, don’t worry, I’ve never heard of them before my blogging days, either! And I’m so happy I do know them now 🙂 Thank you so much! Haha, yes, the blogosphere is amazing, but it brings us many struggles, too :p
Great post! I’ve read a couple on this list, and I think nowadays I discover about 99% of books via the community, haha.
Here’s my TTT if you’re curious. 🙂
Hahaha, me too, that’s so great! 😀
This is such a great topic! This is just one of the many reasons why the book blogging community is so amazing. I’ve seen The Accident Season everywhere online so I have to pick it up soon 😀
Aw thank you! Yes, it is, there are TOO many reasons to list them all 🙂 OH YES, read The Accident Season, it’s really worth it, one of my favorites! 🙂
thank you so much for stopping by! <3
A Thousand Pieces of You and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda were introduced to me by the blogging community, too, and I’m so glad I picked them up! 🙂 I read The Accident Season before I had even heard of it. It just came through the library one day and I decided to give it a shot on the spur of the moment. I was so pleased I did! 🙂
Check out my TTT.
It’s so great, how many amazing books we can find thanks to blogging! 🙂 Ohh, you were definitely Lucky. It’s such a great book! 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by, Lauren! 🙂
so many amazing books on this list that I’ve yet to read. Ah the ever growing to be read list. *Sigh*
Ahh, yes, the ever growing TBR list. This is such a problem, but…if we think positive, this means we will always have something to read 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by! <3
Lovely topic, Marie! So many of these books I have also discovered thanks to the book blogging community soo HIGHFIVE!! A Thousand Pieces of You was SO AMAZING and it’s definitely thanks to the blogging world that I found it so I’m totally grateful (I mean, just look at that cover!!).
Great post! <3
Thank you so much Analee! 🙂 Ohh, A Thousand Pieces of You was really great! I’m actually going to read the next book soon, I ordered it a few weeks ago and I’m still not over how beautiful the cover is! :p
Oh my gosh YES Marie!! I loved it and I hope you do as well. The cover is soooooo pretty!! ?
It’s TOO pretty, even.
