Hi bookworms!
I know, I know, I just disappeared for a long time without a word. Blame goes to school again, as I was stuck with yet another event organizing, which just finished this Friday. So I am back! Kind of. Hopefully, I'll be free for some time before being hauled into something else.
Being part of the book community means that there's never a shortage of recommendations. Whether a book is personally recommended to you, or a title is ever present in twitter, creating a alot of hype in its wake, these neverending recs are a reason to my never reducing TBR pile. So today, I am going to list the top ten highly recommended books, which for some reason I still haven't read.
- Red Rising by Pierce Brown
The book community keeps throwing this book on my face! :) My love for violence and brutality is not a secret, and this book seems to be the first title that comes to everyone's mind, when I ask for recs. I relly don't know why I haven't picked this book up though. Hopefully, I will, soon.
2. Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson is one of those popular authors, I wish I can read at least one book by, just to satisfy my curiosity. I shall tackle you one day Steelheart, wait for me.
3. Game of Thrones by George R.R.Martin
Honestly, I am scared to start this book. Or the TV series. It's just a bit too much, and I wonder whether I can handle it.
4. Splintered by A.G.Howard
To my credit, I actually started this book. And read atleast half of it. And then, for reasons I can't remember I didn't continue. And that's not because I didn't like it either, I actually enjoyed the story a lot. Heaven knows what was running in my mind then. Sigh. Well, hopefully I will take this up the second time, and continue it this time around.
5. Bone Gap by Lauren Ruby
This book sounds amazing. And my curiosity has been raised by Cait's ravings. I shall experience the wonders of this book soon, I hope.
6. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
War fascinates me a lot. And I have a soft corner for fiction based on World War 2, so Code Name Verity is a recommendation which has piqued my curiosity greatly. I just hope I can find a copy soon, since that's the only barrier between this story and me.
7. Captive Prince by C.S.Pascat
Again, a book I am afriad of. This time regarding the amount of feels it will drown me in, and its intensity. That and the fact that I yet have to find a copy of this one as well.
8. Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kauffman
Another popular title I abandoned halfway for no reason. Actually I think my wary-of-scifi-brain was a bit scared and overwhelmed. I hope to give this one another try though. It sounds too amazing for me to miss out.
9. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.Mass
This is probably the only book from this list, which I am sure, and vow that I won't read. There's no love lost between Sarah J.Mass and me, and I have bitter feelings about the turn ToG took, and I am mentally not ready for another series. Sorry Mass fans.
10. Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Why in the world haven't I read this yet? I can't find a copy, that's all. I probably won't find one in Sri Lankan bookstores and shelves - we still have to go a long way regarding LGBT fiction - but I deeply desire I can get my hands on one soon.
What books have you been recommended often, but yet haven't read?
