TTT #33: Books For Readers Who Like Standalones

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.

I didn't really want to just pick a genre so I decided to go with standalones. Although most of these turned out to be contemporary anyways..... A few of these have been out for awhile but I really enjoyed them! These are actually more general recommendations since some I've loved like Since You've Been Gone, I didn't include because it's already so well-loved~ Three of the books below belong to series but they can all be read as a standalone :)

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy

1. Past Perfect by Leila Sales - Cuteness all around~

2. The DUFF by Kody Keplinger - Love how meaningful this book turned out to be!
3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - My love for this book will never end!

4. On the Fence by Kasie West - Love the story, the characters and just everything!
5. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins - All the warm and fuzzy feels~

6. The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes - Hot guy with mohawk that cooks? Hells ya!

7. Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols - Lots of tension but oh so sweet~~

8. The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy - Fun and sexy times!

9. The Boys of Summer by C.J. Duggan - Such a fun summertime love story!

10. Making Faces by Amy Harmon - So emotional but SO good!

TTT #12: Books that were Hard for Me to Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.

These books dealt with more mature topics and had some very emotional parts.

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Something Like Normal by Trish Doller

Left Drowning by Jessica Park

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

Back when I started reading, I was just browsing for things to read and found this series. It gave me some major headaches. Every character was so frustrating! I felt like the story could've been way shorter too because it definitely dragged on. I did manage to finish the whole series but only because I really don't like to DNF.

The Immortals series by Alyson Noel

Review: Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Making Faces

by Amy Harmon

October 12, 2013

405 pages

Goodreads Amazon

Goodreads Summary:

Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore.

Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

TTT #4: Books I'd Give to Readers who Have Never Read ______!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.

I can't think of ten books that all fit in one genre so I decided to do two genres with five books each. These books are ones that I have really enjoyed and couldn't put down when I was reading them :) Some really surprised me. So here they are in no particular order!
