Top Ten Tuesdays (TTT) is a weekly event now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's TTT is: Books That Surprised Me.
It doesn't seem too often that a book surprises me. But I love it when they do! I love finding a new favorite in a book that I didn't think I would like THIS much. Or a new genre that I didn't think I would enjoy, yet surprised me with how much I can't stop reading books from that genre. Let's talk about some books that have surprised me..
The books that I knew I would like, but didn't realize how much I would like them. They ended up becoming a part of my all time favorites list.
(Empress of the Seven Hills is representing the whole series. As is Daughter of the Forest.)
Books in which I was surprised to find a romance to root for.
(The historical fiction stands in for all historical fiction I've read. I love this genre much more that I thought I would)
Contemporaries that surprised me with how much I loved them and they become some of my favorites. And ones that I recommend most often.
(Maybe in Another Life is standing in for all the Taylor Jenkins Reid books that I've read)
I haven't read any of these books but love to pleasantly surprised by books. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI love Kasie West's writing. It's just so easy to read. :-)

Contemporaries (and women's lit) are two genres that surprised me too -- and I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice list! I haven't read any of these, but Daughter of the Forest sounds really good. I'm going to add it to my tbr. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.

I feel the same way about A Court of Mist and Fury! I finished the first book completely hating Rhys, the Night Court, and everything he stood for. I was also surprised considering that I am not the biggest fan of the romances in the Throne of Glass series. Now, especially after reading A Court of Wings and Ruin, I am really invested in Rhys and Feyre's relationship. Maas was able to completely change my mind about his character, which takes some serious skill considering how stubborn I am!
