This week's topic is: Ten Books I've Read Because of Another Blogger (Or Bookish Person)
*in no particular order
**ooh this one will be hard! I can't remember all what I picked up based on recommendations of bloggers! I can't remember either if it was specific bloggers who motivated me to get said books or not. Might have been a general consensus kind of thing too!
10. DEAD GIRLS ARE EASY by Terri Garey--I actually still need to read this one. I remember I read a review on a blog in 2010 I believe and thought it sounded interesting, so I bought a copy of it! Then my beloved Borders was closing its doors forever, so I found the rest of the series during the closing sales and thought, why not?
9. THIS SAVAGE SONG by Victoria Schwab--saw a lot of love going for this one and at first I didn't know it was a paranormal read, but I have read it and quite enjoyed it!
8. STARFLIGHT by Melissa Landers--one I started to see around and was curious about it. I enjoyed the reviews I read so I bought it and read it and really liked it too!
7. DOON by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon--one that was recommended because of how fantastically awesome it was! It was quite enjoyable! Loved the fantasy world aspect!
6. PARANORMALCY by Kiersten White--one that I thought was intriguing by the title alone, but all the reviews I read really cinched the deal!
5. ANGEL BURN by L.A. Weatherly--one that I heard was good based on reviews and really enjoyed it too! Such an intriguing angel story!
4. SOULLESS by Gail Carriger--this is the series that introduced me to what I call Paranormal Steampunk! LOL! Read a handful of reviews from trusted bloggers that convinced me to try the series out!
3. OBSIDIAN by Jennifer L. Armentrout--yup. Sadly this one took a few reviews of reading for me to want to try it. Honestly, I was first afraid it would be a rip off of Roswell, which ended up not being the case by a long shot! It was sooo awesome! I don't think it took many reviews before I was running to Amazon! LOL!
2. VAMPIRE ACADEMY by Richelle Mead--two friends in an old chat room recommended this one to me and told me I HAD to read it! It was during the rise of Paranormal YA and after much badgering I gave it a try and was wowed! Of course I binged the first three books at the time and had the horrendous months long wait until book 4!!
1. HOUNDED by Kevin Hearne--I read a few reviews of this one and was almost instantly convinced to try it out! It's a bit different from my normal UF reads, but I really like it! Really need to get caught up in it too!
