Theme = 5 books that weren’t what I expected
I pondered on this for a while. Books that weren’t what I expected. But in a good or bad way? So I decided to do a mixture!
King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
Loved this book. Totally. But I expected all Nikolai. What I didn’t expect was another sob fest because Nina and Mathias own my heart. I cant relive it again, I have to stop *small sob escapes*
Slayer by Kiersten White
I was so excited for this book. Literally quivering with joy. But it totally didn’t work for me and I DNF’d. I also gave myself major guilts over it as I wanted to love it, so many people did….but why not me?! But we are where we are so….
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
Sci-fi…me? I really didn’t think I was a sci-fi fan BUT I SO AM! This book has led me to read a few other sci-fi books and I am hooked!
Untouchable by Sam Mariano
I knew this was a dark, bully book. It has some pretty questionable incidents and there were some reviews that slated it. However my friend loved it and said I should give it a go. I must admit I was slack jawed at some stuff that happened in the book…..but…..it was a great read. And now I’m wondering what sort of person that makes me!
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
A middle grade read at my age? Surely not? But oh yes. I ate this up and then also book 2, Tunnel of Bones.
What books would make your list?
