Top Ten Tuesday: Books Worth The Hype

Top Ten Tuesday(9)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.

It has now been moved over to That Artsy Reader Girl.

I really love this topic since I’m always really excited to talk about books that were hype worthy, especially since I’m a bit of a picky reader when it comes to hyped books. Prepare for a lot of gushing! I will provide review links in the titles if applicable.

I thought this would be a fun, quick post to do! This is all according to ratings on Goodreads with #1 being the one with the most ratings. That’s pretty much all there is to it too, so enjoy and let me know if you’ve read any of these!

Ten Popular Books I Have Yet To Read

top-ten-tuesday23

Hello everyone! I’ve decided to do up yet another bookish list post because I am not only a big fan of books (obviously) but also of lists, I love making lists. So I wanted to share with you all some of the book community’s most popular books that I have not read or even read any installment in the series. Try not to be TOO shocked with me, after all I did JUST read my first Sarah J. Maas book this year.

This is going to be a list that is a little quicker and shorter than usual!

I’ll also try to put these in order of what  is the most popular (via number of Goodreads ratings) and not by how bad I feel by not having read them yet….

 10.) Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1)

I know, I know this one isn’t too bad but I feel like a lot of people like this series and the worst part is I have this sitting on my shelf unread as it has been for a few years. Whoops.


9.) The Young Elites by Marie Lu

The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1)

While I definitely wasn’t a big fan of Marie Lu’s “Legend” I am pretty excited to read this book of hers even though I’m pretty late to the party considered the trilogy is complete now and I STILL haven’t read it. At least I won’t have to wait for the other books to come out……


8.) An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1)

I’ll get to this one…..eventually.


7.) Red Rising by Pierce Brown

Red Rising (Red Rising, #1)

I actually feel pretty bad about this one since it seems like a book and series I would enjoy but I just haven’t convinced myself to buy my own copy yet. I also probably won’t be reading this for a long time.


6.) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)

PLEASE DON’T HURT ME! I have only read “Throne of Glass” and wasn’t too impressed but I decided to buy this one anyways because I heard the sequel is very, very good. However, I’m just not sure I’ll be one to jump on the Maas bandwagon.


5.) The Iron King by Julia Kagawa

The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)

 I have heard nothing but good things about this series as well as the author Julie Kagawa and so I’m really wanting to read this book or at least one of her other ones. Not to mention I haven’t really read any Fae books and that’s something I need to check of the list.


4.) Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)

So I don’t really feel bad about not having read this yet because I’m not sure if I’ll actually like it or not. All signs point to no but I just can’t quite bring myself to delete from my TBR yet.


3.) The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave, #1)

I’m disappointed with myself for not having read this yet because I think the movie looks good and I’m the type of person who has to read it before they see it.


2.) The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)

This was probably the one time I went and saw the movie without reading the book and I even bought the book before the movie came out so I would read it. Now I just think it’s going to sit abandoned on my Nook forever because I don’t really have an interest in it anymore.


1.) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Night Circus

I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN’T READ THIS YET!!!!!!! It sounds so good and everyone I know loves it so much! I’m actually debating on just picking up a copy of my own so that way it stares angrily at me from my shelves and I’ll be forced to finally read it.
