TTT #42: Books I Want to Make My Sisters Read


Top Ten Tuesday button

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.


So a while back, I succeeded in getting my sister to read The Fault in Our Stars~ *happy dance* She really enjoyed it and shed tears too. So for this week's freebie Top Ten, I thought it would be fun to make a list of books I'd push, force, coerce, recommend to my sisters who aren't really avid readers!

Liars, Inc. by Paula StokesThe Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver 
1. Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes - So I haven't really read this one yet buttttt I just know it's going to be awesome and I want my sisters to read it so we can all guess the killer together ;)
2. The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver - I want to see what my twin sister would think of this one!
 
The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie WestFangirl by Rainbow RowellTo All the boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han 
3. The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West - Cuteness needs to be shared!
4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - Another adorable one that they need in their life~
5. To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han - I feel like we're really similar to the Song sisters so I want them to try this book.
 
Snow Like Ashes by Sara RaaschThe Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
6. Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch - I guessed the twist about half way through the book. I need to see if they will too :D
7. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers - Assassin nuns are not to be missed!!
8. The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson - I wonder if my sisters will guess correctly who's who~~~
 
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. SchwabThe Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
9. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab - They need to experience the awesomeness that is this book!
10. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon - I want them to feel my pain in waiting for each book to come out. Just kidding~ This series is epic and mindblowing and they need to see if for themselves!!
 
What books would you want your family or friends to read?

Review: The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

April 28, 2015
304 pages

Goodreads Summary:
A girl takes over her twin sister's identity in this emotionally charged page-turner about the complicated bond between sisters.

Ella and Maddy Lawton are identical twins. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy's shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy. In fact, she's chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy's world.

When—after a heated argument—Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves her sister dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. Feeling responsible for Maddy's death and everyone's grief, Ella makes a split-second decision to pretend to be Maddy. Soon, Ella realizes that Maddy's life was full of secrets. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options—confess her deception or live her sister's life.

Stacking the Shelves #30


Stacking the Shelves button

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that lets us share what we've added to our shelves.



I snatched this one up when BookOutlet had their $5 off with no minimum purchase coupon~ I already read it as an ebook and loved it so I had to get a physical copy. I also want to mention that it was in perfect condition. Seriously just perfect! So happy~
 
Ripple with Fire
Fire by Kristin Cashore

The lovely people at Raincoast Books and Macmillan sent me an ecopy of this book. It took me a few tries to get it working but they have been very patient and understanding so thank you~ I'm especially excited to read it because it's about twins! I have a twin and I want to see how their relationship is portrayed in the book.
