Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books I Loved But Never Wrote a Review For



Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

There are quiet a few books I've loved but never reviewed - mostly because I either read them before I started blogging or because they are not YA titles.  But all of them are major awesome!  So, in no particular order, here are ten books I loved but have never reviewed.



1:  Letters From The Inside by John Marsden
I remember being blown away by this when I first read it and it's stayed with me.  I still wonder about it.  The author is best known for his Tomorrow Series which is equally awesome!



2:  Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer
An awesome book!  I was completely gripped and have recommended it so many times but for some reason I've never posted a review for it.  I really don't know why - but if you haven't read it I highly recommend it!



3:  Before I Die by Jenny Downham
This made me cry my eyes out!  A beautifully written book that will always be a favourite of mine.  I also have the audio - which is impossible to listen to when driving if you want to see where you are going - so I should really post a proper review for this!



4: The Harper Connelly Series by Charlaine Harris
I love this series!  Technically not YA but would definitely appeal as a crossover to YA readers.  It's crime with a paranormal/supernatural twist.  But seriously good!



5:  Christopher Pike's books - especially Remember Me and Weekend.
I know I keep going on about Christopher Pike - but I was (and still am) a massive fan of his books.  I'm so pleased they are being re-released in gorgeous new covers.  If you've not read any I would recommend Weekend, Remember Me (I like the first one as a standalone) , the Final Friends Trilogy and , of course,  the Last Vampire Series:)



6:  The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot
Another author I'm a major fan girl over, but I think the Mediator series is still by favourite.  I also loved the 1800WhereRU series and her Heather Wells books.



7:  The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
I read this in a day (it's massive!) and apparently I didn't move.  I must say I was completely and utterly gripped - it's such a majorly awesome book.  And I had to wait 2 years before the sequel was published!  I've loved all of Paullina Simon's books that I've read - but Tully is the other one that really stands out.



8:  City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I loved this but I'm sure I don't need to say much about it!  For some reason I still haven't read the rest in the series so I should really rectify that soon.



9:  Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
Another favourite from when I was a teen.  It's one of those books I read over and over - absolutely loved it!



10:  Harry Potter Series by J K Rowling
Do I really need to say anything about this series!  Although I am still really behind and have only read books 1 - 4!  *hides*

Actually I could probably list many, many more!

What are your ten books you've loved but never reviewed?

Loved City of Bones and the Harry Potter series too! And I've heard great things about Before I Die. I think I need to read it soon.

Tales of Whimsy said...

For me it seems the more I love the book, the harder it is to do anything more than gush.

Jenny said...

Good list. I still need to read most of these!

Ah, Tiger Eyes was one of the first YA books I read as a kid - it's stayed with me ever since. I love Judy Blume.

I read and reviewed City of Bones pretty recently... I'll definitely be finishing the series (though I did have some issues with it).

Also, yes, you MUST finish Harry Potter!!

I can't imagine what it must've been like waiting two years for the sequel to the Bronze Horseman! I only read it this year and was annoyed I had to wait a week for my library to get the sequel in from another branch.
