Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Today’s prompt: Books that Surprised Me (in a good or bad way)
I like this prompt! And here are my 10 books that I would love to share with you that surprised me in a good way:
- Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi: the rating of this book is not stellar, so I did not expect anything much when I grabbed it, but it ended up being a favourite and it really surprised me
- We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: you either love it or hate it, I ended up loving it since it found me in the right time
- Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume: this was a pleasant surprise, and I enjoyed it quite a bit
- I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy: I did not know anything about this book, just that it was a memoir and judging by the title, I thought it was harsh, but after reading it, I no longer think that
- I Don’t Want to Be a Mom by Irene Olmo: this was a very interesting graphic novel that I read before I even thought I wanted to be a mother, and it was nice to see a different point of view on the matter
- Foster by Claire Keegan: when I picked this one up, I knew nothing about it, just that it would be a quick and an OK read, boy was I wrong… those 89 pages took me on a journey I will forever remember
- Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune: we don’t talk enough about this one! It was great.
- Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng: my very first Ng book and instant favourite
- Becoming by Michelle Obama: did not expect to like it as much as I did, but I found it informative and empowering
- The Hating Game by Sally Thorne: a nice surprise for sure, I was expecting to love this one at all but I stand corrected lol
Do we have matching book/s?
