Top Ten Books We'd Read If We Had a Book Club

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten list is
"Top Ten Books We'd Read If We Had a Book Club"

January

Ashley's Pick: Fairest by Marissa Meyer
Because The Lunar Chronicles are amazing. I think there will be some interesting discussion points seeing as this book really focuses on Queen Levana and her past.

February

Nicole's Pick: White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I have yet to read anything by JLA and that needs to change. This one is on both mine and Ashley's TBR and I've heard that this series creates a true love triangle and that JLA let her fans pick the winner.

March

Ashley's Pick: Splintered by A.G. Howard
Because the cover reminds me of Spring and it is a fairy tale re-telling that neither one of us has read. Other bloggers we follow have seemed to enjoy it so I think it would be worth a try.

April

Nicole's Pick: Black Dove, White Raven by Elizabeth Wein
I read, and fell in love with, both Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire and I cannot wait for this book to destroy me too. Ashley didn't LOVE Code Name Verity but I have no problem forcing her to read this one as a second attempt ;). There are in innumerous reasons why this book, as with all of Elizabeth Wein's books, should be read by all.

May

Ashley's Pick: End of Days by Susan Ee
Both Nicole and I have absolutely loved this series so far! It comes out in May so I figure we will both devour this one right away. Susan Ee is not afraid to be dark and intense at all so who knows what crazy things are going to happen in this book.

June

Nicole's Pick: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
I have heard such good things about this book and I think it is one that both Ashley and I would enjoy.

July

Ashley's Pick: Seriously Wicked by Tina Connolly
Because this one sounds like a perfect fun summer read. The cover is super cute and the summary sounds like it would be a great pool side book.

August

Nicole's Pick: The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
I LOVED I'll Give You the Sun and I NEED to read The Sky is Everywhere. And maybe it'll happen the opposite way for Ash, since she hasn't read either yet!

September

Ashley's Pick: Palace of Spies by Sarah Zettel
Because the book has history, spies, and mystery. Nicole and I love spy books so it would be interesting to see if we like this historical spy book!

October

Nicole's Pick: Tonight the Streets are Ours by Leila Sales
Because it's Leila Sales so obviously it will bring all the feels!

What are your top ten?

I so cannot wait for End of Days by Susan Ee! But I have to admit that I am kind of worried to read it because I don't see how it can end with HEA. But I am sure that Susan will surprise me as always!

Fairest would be a perfect book for a book club (if everybody has read the previous books) It would be interesting to discuss Levana's story. I can't wait for Angelfall 3 and it would be pretty cool to talk about all the bloody and gory details (at least, I expect them to be there based on the previous books :p)

RPO would be a lot of fun for a book club. There's just so much there to geek out about! You should definitely read it!

These picks are so good! I've read a few of them, whoo. Usually I haven't read anything on people's lists because I'm such a noob XD I really loved Splintered and White Hot Kiss. Also, you could totally have some rad discussions about the guys ;D I know there are love triangles and usually I hate them, but for some reason, I didn't mind it in these two ;P

I didn't know JLA let fans pick the winner. I hope my guy wins. :) If not, I'll be ticked.

Thanks for sharing.

Great list! I need to read all of these (except for Splintered, which I loved). I have to read the first books in the Susan Ee series, I've heard amazing things about them. I'd join your book club for sure with these choices!

I'll Give You the Sun would be a great book read - there's so much to talk about and it's beautifully written.

I love this list!
I just finished reading Fairest and I agree so much that it would be perfect for book club. I really want to talk to people about it lol.
I also think I'll Give You the Sun is great for conversations.
Can't wait to read Tonight the Streets Are Ours and Angelfall 3!

I think you guys would really like Ready Player One. It is a unique book! I also agree and think that Seriously Wicked would make a great pool-side read. :)

I bought Fairest this week, but I haven't read it yet. Should be a good read!

White Hot Kiss!!!! Love this series, but I'm not sure how I feel about the fans picking the guy. Basically, that means I know who she chooses. FOR SURE. And does that mean JLA doesn't care? How can she not care????? It is a true love triangle, I'm definitely torn, which almost never happens to me. You should read the Covenant series!!! It's my favorite, slightly edging out the Lux series.

End of Days!!!! This better end well, that's all I have to say. I will definitely be reading this book the day it comes out. I'll probably be waiting up for it to arrive on my Kindle at midnight and just read it then.
