Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Topic: Books I Enjoyed that Were Outside My Comfort Zone
I actually think it’s good to occasionally read outside your niche because you never know if you’re missing out on some fab books.
Primarily, I’m now a fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi reader and I don’t really read contemporary romance anymore. But, over the years, I’ve read quite a few, probably more on the darker side! So here’s some of my faves!
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Wildfire by Hannah Grace
Lizzie and Belle Mysteries by JT Williams
My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Cash’s Fight by Jamie Begley
Raw by Belle Aurora
Untouchable by Sam Mariano
Fear Me by BB Reid
Ride Steady by Kristen Ashley
Have you read any of these?

I haven’t read any of these, but they’d all be outside my comfort zone, Caro – no horror or scifi in sight!

Wildfire is still on my TBR, but not really outside my comfort zone 🙂 I only read Emily Henry.

It’s always interesting to see how readers’ tastes and preferences change over time! The only one here I”ve read is the Emily Henry book (loved it!).
