Books That Surprised Me | Top Ten Tuesday

This weeks Top Ten Tuesday is all about the books that have surprised me. 

I am normally someone who gets popular books and wonder why people love them so much and when I get a book that no one has talked about I normally love. 

- Hate List

I hadn’t heard of the book but when I would walk into the bookstore I was always drawn to the book. I wasn’t sure about the book but it surprised me and I loved it. 

- One Day

When I first read the book I didn’t like it to much but the second time I loved it.  

- My Best Friends Girl

When I picked up My Best Friends Girl for the first time years ago, I was at a point in my life where I liked reading but would never pick up books and read. I was either working or out with friends. I just wasn’t interested in reading. So picking the book up was a shock and then when I read it I just fell in love with the story, Dorothy’s effortless way off telling it. I was shocked because I didn’t want the book to end. I would happily read a sequel to My Best Friends Girl without even thinking about it. I was shocked at how much I didn’t want the book to end. 

- Looking For Alaska 

Looking For Alaska was the first John Green book that I ever read (well listen to any way) and I actually enjoyed it. 

- The Ice Cream Girls

One of my all time favourite books. I knew I would like it but I was surprised at how much. I never normally the kind of person who will stay up late and read a book. And with this one I did. 

- My Life Next Door

I was surprised with how much I liked it. I’m not sure if it’s because I read it after a book I Disliked or not but I liked it a lot. 

- To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before 

It’s no secret that I dislike this book. I felt let down by how many people raved about it and I felt disappointed with it. 

- FanGirl

FanGirl is a book that everyone was raving about. They loved it. At the time of it’s release being a fan girl of anything was the thing to be. I was surprised because if hoped for better. Even the second time around when I read it I wanted it to be better. 

- Just One Year

I love Gayle Forman’s writing style so when I read Just One Year I was so shocked by the way I suddenly felt so disconnected with the characters in the book. I couldn’t finish it because I felt let down by the book.
