Top Ten Books We Recommend the Most



Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by


This Week's Topic is:





         Top Ten Books We Recommend the Most.      




# 1 The Book of Lost Things   

John Connolly 

Katie: Hands down the number one book I recommend! I always say it's the best book no one has ever heard of, so I take it as my personal mission to spread the good word about TBOLT. I have personally gotten my sister, my friend Brandi, a student from school, and Krisha to read The Book of Lost Things.    

# 2 The Lightening Thief  

Rick Riordan

Krisha: If you read this one book, it'll get you hooked on at least 2 series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians & The Heroes of Olympus.  Most I read in a day because they were that addicting.  Definitely the top of mylist for books you should read right now!

# 3 & # 4 Divergent

Veronica Roth

Katie: I always recommend Divergent to those who enjoyed The Hunger Games, and would enjoy a Dystopian read. I currently have my copy of Divergent on loan to my friend Neetu. What an amazing read! 

 Krisha: Love love love this series.  I think everyone has heard about it by now and I'm so glad Katie got it for me to read.  I just bought it in paperback so I can start loaning it out.

# 5 Shiver 

Maggie Stiefvater

Krisha: Book one of such a cool series (pun intended).  I recommend this to some of my more science minded friends who are weary of YA.  Not that it's a science story, it just has some cool components in it that I really appreciate.  

# 6 Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

Katie: It's really hard for me to believe, but there are people out there who have NOT read The Hunger Games. I thought for sure since the books were so popular, and the whole movie and all... I get super shocked when I find someone who has not read it! Its the first Dystopian I read, and I have been hooked ever since. My copy of The Hunger Games is currently loaned out to my friend Zainab. 


# 7 & # 8 Jenny Pox 

J.L. Bryan

Krisha: I remember the day Katie recommended this to me and have been paying it forward ever since.  I've gotten a handful of people that I personally know to read this book and here at Inkk Reviews, we recommend this fabulous series all the time.  Haven't read it?  Go get it now free on your e-book!


Katie: Before reading Jenny Pox I hadn't read much from Indie Authors, Jenny Changed my mind. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. I have both the print copies and the e-book copies which I have been loaning out to our friend Brandi. Brandi is currently reading my e-book copy of Alexander Death (Book 3 in the Paranormal series).

# 9 The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Douglas Adams

Krisha: I read this one in high school because everyone else in the marching band was.  I haven't talked about it as much since I've joined the blogging world (old news, right?) but historically it's been one I've recommended most.  And want to know the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? It's 42.  (The actual ultimate question is still unknown.)

# 10 Cinder

Marissa Meyer

Katie: If you would have told me before that one of the top books I recommend is about Cyborgs , I would have never believed you.  I recently recommended Cinder to my Friend Megan, she borrowed my print copy and loved it! I hope to see her this week so I can give her my copy of Scarlet to read! 

 If you haven't noticed , I am a book pusher! :)


Thanks for stopping by our TTT this week!

    Cinder is on my TBR list, and I of course adored Hunger Games. I feel like the only one on the planet who didn't like Divergent, though haha. Everyone seems to love it.

    You've also prompted me to head on over to GR and check out The Book Of Lost Things, because I'm always looking for new favorites that not everyone and their mother has also read.

    Great list! If you want to check mine out, you can find it at PaperFantasies.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy sounds interesting... And the Book of Lost Things looks amazing! Although I haven't read all of your books on this list, at least I've read some of them here, and they're really good! Great list!

      Yes the Book of Lost Things really is awesome, I think if they marketed the book in the YA genre it would get alot more love! oddly enough it labeled under Mystery.. at least in the book store but its really not , has alot of fairy tale retellings in it. hope you get a chance to check it out! - Katie

    I LOVE Percy Jackson! I've read all but The Mark of Athena in Riordan's two PJ series (and, I own it - just haven't gotten there yet). Great list!

    Yes, I'm in complete agreement with Cinder! I'll see my girls at school eyeing it like they're not too sure, so I promote it as a scifi futuristic Cinderella then they usually want it :)

    Just when I think your blog can't get any prettier you create posts like these that just make me pink with envy. :) SO pretty girls. Anyway, many of these I still have to read, especially Jenny Pox. I'm going to try to start that one soon and I'll go check out the ones that are new to me. :)

    Ha! I feel the same way about Cinder. Who would have thought that one of my favorite books would be about a cyborg? Certainly not me :)

    Percy Jackson is on my list, too! Although I need to catch up on the Heroes of Olympus series.

    Love The Hunger Games, and Cinder's 0n my list as well! I actually have had so many people recommend Divergent to me in the last two years, so I'm definitely reading that soon. I've never heard of it, but The Book of Lost Things looks fantastic. Great list!
