Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
This weeks theme is My Most Recent 5 & 1 Star Reads. Now I don't really rate books 1 star cause to me that means I hated the book and wouldn't even recommend it to anyone so instead I will be going with 2 star books instead besides the one 1 star book. So without further ado here are my picks for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday.
5 Star Reads
The Mystery Of Hollow Places by Rebecca Podos
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Walk On Earth A Stranger by Rae Carson
Salt To The Sea by Ruta Sepetys
The Queen by Keira Cass
2 and 1 Star Reads
The Silver Suitcase by Terrie Todd
Magnetic Shift by Lucy D. Briand
Spring Broke by Melody Carlson
Becoming Famous by Natalie Scott
Very Like A Queen by Martin Lake
What have been your most recent 5 star reads?
*Title links will either take you to a review of mine or to the goodreads page when a review is not yet posted.
SALT TO THE SEA! What a heartbreaking book. Whenever I read a WWII book, I tell myself to not get attached to the characters, that something terrible will probably happen to one of them, but it always happens anyways. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Sadly it doesn't work and I always end up getting attached to some of them and end up heartbroken.
DeleteSalt to The Sea is going to have to move up my tbr because it seemed like everyone loved it. I read her previous books and really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteSo good and if you've read Between Shades of Gray then you will notice a mention of it in Salt to the Sea as well.
DeleteGlad to see you liked the new Ruta Sepetys book so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteNice list of books this week! I'll be sure and stay away from the 1 & 2 star reads!!

Walk on Earth a Stranger - I saw this a lot when it first came out but I don't remember actually reading any of the reviews for it! I keep toying with getting it as I read Vengeance Road recently and I am getting a bit of the 'Western' vibe from this book,(is that right?)and I really want to read a few more female led westerns (I can't seem to find too many of them).
ReplyDeleteYes it is and it even has several other strong female characters as well as the story goes on. I loved it and it talked about something that I had never seen be talked about ya historical fiction before. I would definitely say you should read this. I hope to read vengeance road in the next few weeks.
DeleteWalk on Earth a Stranger! I *loved* that book! I cannot read for the next book in that series. Great TTT!
ReplyDeleteSame here. It's one I'm even thinking about pre-ordering.
DeleteSo many awesome books on your list, these are ones I have either loved myself or am desperate to read. Salt to the Sea is one I keep seeing amazing reviews for, I am desperate to read that one myself. I am definitely going to be adding some of these to my already endless TBR, so thanks for the awesome recommendations!!! :) Here's my most recent five star reads, if you want to check them out :)
ReplyDeleteYour welcome and I will be checking out your top book as well.:)
DeleteI want to read Salt to the sea so bad! I am obsessed with WWII books and I have heard great things about this one. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI am to. Do you have any good recommendations?
DeleteI had never heard of The Mystery of Hollow Places--thank you for bringing it to my attention!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome, it's a 2016 release and since it's release date I haven't heard much about it either.
DeleteI've been meaning to read Salt to the Sea and Walk on Earth a Stranger for quite a while now! I love Rae Carson's Fire and Thorns trilogy, so I'm excited to read her other book.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I have heard such great things about her Fire and Thorns trilogy hopefully I can start it this fall.
DeleteGlad you liked Salt To The Sea, it's on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2016/03/30/top-ten-tuesday-50/
I plan on starting Walk on Earth a Stranger tomorrow. I had it out from the library in November but didn't have the time to get into it so I'm looking forward to round two.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I have that problem all the time. I hope your able to get through it this time :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I've been seeing a lot of great reviews for Ruta Sepetys's Salt of the Sea. Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier this week :)
