Top Ten Tuesday: Most Recommended Books to Me

Hosted by the Broke and the Bookish
Can I just say that I am SO glad to be back to Top Ten Tuesday? Lists are wonderful. Such a wonderful structure and peaceful task to do. Of course, I'm not sure I'll continue to do the Photoshop pictures because, wow, what time-suckers (props to regular Photoshop users). This week we had to compile a list of the most books people recommend to us. Most books on my list are personal recommendations, but some are general and frequent recommendations from blogs I read. In no particular order:

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
While I said there isn't a particular order, Harry Potter is, by far, the most recommended book and series to me. It's been more less of a "hey, you should read this" and more of a "READ THIS, YOU FOOL."

Storm Siren by Mary Weber
I fully intend on reading this as soon as possible. It sounds awesome and one of the people who has recommended this is Lauren. Making her happy would be a plus. 

The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
I KNOW, SHAE.

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
So many fantasy lovers love this. I feel so much pressure. 

The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
Ditto.

The Beka Cooper series by Tamora Pierce
It's Tamora! I LOVED Alanna and I've heard Beka rivals her. HOW?

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Two words: RAINBOW. ROWELL.

The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Kate Roric and Bernie Su
The web series was the absolute best, making me fall in love with YouTube. I've heard nonstop recommendations of this since it's more of Lizzie and her world. I need this in my life, I know.

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
CUTENESS OVERLOAD. People know I love contemporary.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordian
I'm not a fan of MG, but so many people love this. I may fudge. 

Shadowland by Meg Cabot
Meg Cabot is a contemporary queen so I'm not sure why I haven't read ALL her books especially since people sure do love this series.
