We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is Dynamic Duos. I wasn’t really feeling this topic, so I decided to take a shot at last week’s topic. Isabelle did this one last week and today it’s my turn to talk about ten books that are too good to review properly. Some of them I have given a review and others I didn’t even try to write one, haha.

The Love Hypothesis – Ali Hazelwood

If you’ve been active in the bookish community it’s unlikely you haven’t seen this book yet. The Love Hypothesis was all over the place around its release and it was so worth the hype. I loved both of these characters and their stories, but it’s so hard to put that in words. So I haven’t yet, haha.

Reminders of Him – Colleen Hoover

Colleen Hoover is a master at making you feel so much while reading her stories. She tends to break your heart into a million pieces and puts them back together again before the ending. I did write a review for Reminders of Him, but there’s still so much I just didn’t say. Then again, I’m one that thinks you need to read her books not knowing much at all.

The Guncle – Steven Rowley

The Guncle was another book I saw everywhere when it released and haven’t stopped thinking about it since I read it. I may even need to re-read The Guncle soon. Steven Rowley hit me in all the feels. Grief, moving on, happiness, family, and so many other things are in this story. I don’t think any review will ever do justice.

House of Hollow – Krystal Sutherland

I’ve been enjoying books that give you really creepy vibes and House of Hollow was one of them. I don’t think I went in with any expectations, but I don’t think I could’ve ever predicted anything in this book. At a certain point I had a feeling I knew something about a certain reveal and ended up being right. With all the twists and turns in this story I don’t think I could ever write a review without giving spoilers.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle – Stuart Turton

Another one I did write a review for, but don’t think it did justice to this book. When I read the last page of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle I seriously asked myself “what did I just read?”. This is such a unique story and another one you need to go into blank. I think I’m eventually going to read this one again to see if I missed any details the first time around.

The House in the Cerulean Sea – T.J. Klune

T.J. Klune became an author I wanted to read everything from after reading The House in the Cerulean Sea. When I first heard about this book I wasn’t sure if it was for me and to be honest the hype scared me. It was so worth it though. T.J. Klune hits you in the feels and then some. All of these characters are so special.

The How and the Why – Cynthia Hand

Cynthia Hand is an author I adore and that write some emotional stories with important messages. In The How and the Why the main character turns 18 and can choose to figure out who her birth mother is. I loved that this story switched between our main character’s journey and on the other hand all of the letters her birth mother wrote her while pregnant. This story was so powerful.

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire – Jennifer L. Armentrout

If I’m honest I always have a hard time reviewing fantasy books and especially sequels. I mean the worlds can get complicated and you don’t want to give too much away, but sometimes you need details to review. Which is what I thought of when reviewing A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. I know a lot of people were critical, because not much happens. But I love books like that.

180 Seconds – Jessica Park

180 Seconds is actually a book I read before starting the blog, but it’s one I haven’t forgotten at all. This book definitely made me ugly cry. Have you ever had a story just hit you in the right way, but you don’t know why? That was me with this one.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Taylor Jenkins Reid

When I first started reading this book I didn’t like Evelyn Hugo. As we learned more about her past and multiple husbands I started understanding her more. There’s also another side story you don’t learn more about until later in the book, but it was so interesting to see all of the puzzle pieces come together.
