Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing Bionic Book Worm!
Today we’re talking the top books I could not put down. You are probably going to see a lot of familiar titles on this list, because I definitely rave about my favorites whenever I can (so they probably made some of the my other top 5 lists).
Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
The Illuminae Files is one of my favorite series is ALL TIME. It has crazy artificial intelligence, aliens, evil space corporations, and ALL the sassy characters. My favorite is the second in the series, Gemina. The stakes are high, Nik Malikov is the best, and did I mention the aliens?!
A Court of Mist & Fury by Sarah J Maas
A Court of Thorns and Roses is a solid 3-star book in my opinion, BUT the sequel is such an amazing book. There are unexpected twists & turns, hot faerie boys, and so much emotion. And did I mention the hot faerie boys?
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Another series that I’m obsessed with. I couldn’t put down any of these books, but the first book is my favorite. Rich boarding school boys, feminist badass heroines, and tons of magic.
Roar by Cora Carmack
This series is about magical storms, a princess with epic powers, and a kingdom that needs saving. I’m SO excited for Rage and all I can think about is Prince Cassius, Aurora, and probably the most creepy villain I’ve ever encountered.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
This series involves X-Men like storm powers, one of the WORST betrayals I’ve ever felt, and a monarchy that is just dying to be taken down. While the series has its ups & downs, the first book is amazing. I could not stop reading.
BONUS: Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
If you know me, you know I cannot go one post without talking about something Shadowhunters-related. So, I’m adding a bonus section to talk about my love for all things Cassie Clare. There were so many to choose from, but I went with Lord of Shadows because it’s an EPIC sequel. I lie awake at night thinking about how my heart was ripped out of my chest at the end…

What did you think of my picks? Do we have any of the same unputdownable books? Any I should consider?

Yes on ACOMAF! After the first book in the series I was really not impressed, but I just burned through A Court of Mist and Fury.

You got me at the bonus one. Love Cassandra Clare’s books and The Dark Artifices is probably my favorite series. With every next book there the action only got better.
