Top 5 Sundays

Top 5 Sundays is a weekly blog meme created by Larissa at Larissa's Bookish Life.

Every Sunday I will post a TOP 5 list on the blog. It can be about anything and every week I'll have a new theme {You can vote on next week’s theme on my left sidebar!} and I will ad the Mr.Linky bellow the post so you can do a list with the theme and add you link to it.
Rules:
1 - Write a post listing your TOP 5 choices within the theme I chose (or was chosen on a poll) for the week.
2 - Mention this Blog on the post and link back to it.
3 - Fell free to use the Feature's image (there is a smaller size version of it bellow)
4 - After you've finished your post, add you link (of the post, not your blog's main page) to the Mr.Linky at the end of that week's post.
5 – If you don’t have a blog to post, just leave your list in the comments =)


 This week's theme is: Great Books I Read Because of a Blogger's Recommendation/Review!



*in no particular order


This one will be a little harder since I can't recall all the bloggers whose reviews it was that convinced me to go out and buy the book! But for the most part I can remember books that I wouldn't have bought otherwise because of the superb reviews!


FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT
by Darynda Jones

I read reviews on this one that totally convinced me to read it and it was awesome! I love Charley! Still have to try to get to the last two and then the fourth one! So behind!



HOUNDED
by Kevin Hearne

Read a good review of this one and continue to see reviews of this series! It's yet another one I fell behind on! I started it with book 1, but haven't made it to the rest yet!



TEMPEST RISING
by Nicole Peeler

I read a real good review on this one when it first came out. I first thought it was YA since it was cartoony--so over that now! Cartoony covers are still quite fun to me! I love this series now too! Jane is just freaking awesome! Not too far behind in this one, just have to read the latest book!



SOULLESS
by Gail Carriger

I was new to steampunk and this might have been my first one too! I read some really awesome reviews--Larissa's was likely one of the first!--that just convinced me I had to read it! And I so love this series! Still gotta read the last one! Are you noticing a pattern yet?



ANGELS' BLOOD
by Nalini Singh

Can't recall which blog I read reviews of this one on! But I was finally convinced that it might be a read for me and boy was it!



BOOKS THAT I AM CONVINCED TO READ...BUT HAVEN'T READ THEM YET!
(I BOUGHT THEM THOUGH!)



And these are really the SERIES as a whole! I have all 4 Nikki Styx books, I have about half of The Others books and I have the 3 books in the Tiger Saga series! That is how convinced I was of the series after reading reviews of them! That and there were sales! ;)

  2. I really enjoyed 4 of your 5 books but I just didn't connect with Tempest Rising. The main character annoyed me :)

  4. I loved the Charley Davidson series, I haven't tried the The Tiger saga series yet but I plan too. I actually bought the Nalina Singh Angel's Blood but haven't read it yet. Read all the Souless series loved it. Christine Warren series are a hit or miss, some I like some I didn't. I have the Terri Garey series on my tbr list my library doen't have them and I'm not convinced on them enough to buy them yet.
