This week's topic is: Top Ten Books Guaranteed to Put a Smile on My Face

 

*in no particular order
**when I read the "your" I thought mostly of my own self, but I'd still recommend these to others as well!

10. FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT by Darynda Jones--Charley cracked me up! From the quotes before every chapter, this series had me in stitches from start to finish!
9. THE IRON DAUGHTER by Julie Kagawa--I chose the second one because I felt like the dynamics between Puck, Ash, and Grimalkin were a bit more established and the jokes and snarky remarks just kept coming!
8. KILL THE FARM BOY by Delilah S. Dawson & Kevin Hearne--this one had me from the title! It was quite the parody of high fantasies and Mel Brooks films, in my opinion. I still need to read the last two books of the trilogy though!

7. POISON STUDY by Maria V. Snyder--meet Janco had me in stitches! I love that guy! The story itself brought a smile to my face as Yelena is such a strong character and I just loved her!
6. STALKING JACK THE RIPPER by Kerri Maniscalco--another book that just had me laughing so much that the memory of it brings a smile back to my face! Cresswell was a riot! I love that snarky flirty kind of guy!
5. OBSIDIAN by Jennifer L. Armentrout--speaking of snarky! Granted I didn't like Daemon right away, but I loved how Katy handled him and how though she did find herself attracted to him, she wanted nothing to do with him. I will forever love the spaghetti scene most! Lol.

4. OLD MAGIC by Marianne Curley--this one just brings back happy memories of my younger self who was looking for a YA Paranormal title and I found this beauty! I found myself relating to Kate in her awkward, unpopular status. Sadly, I wasn't a gifted witch.
3. DEMON IN MY VIEW by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes--naturally this one will forever bring a smile to my face!
2. OBLIVION by Jennifer L. Armentrout--omg, a mega-sized book that is 100% Daemon's point of view? Yes please! I loved getting inside his head and knowing why he did the things he did in the beginning. And of course his constant pestering of Katy was just a riot since he was doing it just to get a rise out of her! Lol.

1. LEGENDARY by Stephanie Garber--did I surprise you? I bet you narrowed it down to three books though! Lol. I LOVED Caraval, but I think I might have loved Legendary just a tiny bit more because of Tella! I loved this girl and her fierceness. She was never afraid to tell it like it was. I just loved her sass and spunk!
