Top Ten Books I've Read Because of Another Blogger

Because we all love lists, this meme created by The Broke and the Bookish was created to give us a chance to combine that love with our passion for books.

It is impossible to be a part of this community without being greatly influenced by  the opinions of others, so this week in honor of BBAW my list of top ten books is based on books I read and loved because of the recommendation of another blogger whose review of these books had me saying I gotta read that!



The Fever Series by Karen Moning: I devoured this entire series after reading a review of one of the books by  Natalie at Mindful Musing. I have always loved Natalie's reviews which are not only  insightful, but honest and detailed. Over the past two years I have gotten quite a few recommendations for her.

Angelfire by L.A. Weatherly: I won this one from Leanne at Daisy Chain Reviews and enjoyed the  unique angel story. Leanne is another reviewer who I admire and read daily because her reviews are always well-written and passionate.


Tomorrow When the War Began by John Mardsen: If you have never read one of Nome's reviews at Ink Crush then I highly recommend you do. I think I would probably read anything she recommends simply because her reviews are a delight and her taste in books are impeccable. 

The Piper's Son by Melinda Marchetta: Another recommendation from Nome's at Ink Crush

Unearthly by Cynthia Heard: Yet another recommendation from Nome's at Ink Crush 

The Gathering by Kelly Armstrong: After reading Kay's review of this book over at Dead Book Darling Book Reviews I immediately went out and got it for myself and this became on of my favorite reads this year. 

Stork by Wendy Delsol: Lori at Pure Imagination is another blogger I go to for great reviews. While Stork did not get a lot buzz, it was Lori's review that made me want to read it and I really loved it too. 

Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork: After reading Sab's review of this I knew I had to read it too. Sab's YA Bliss blog is another one I visit daily for terrific reviews. I have gotten a lot of recommendations from her in the past couple years. 

While I am sure that there are a number of books I have pick up due to other bloggers, over the past two years I am not sure which ones specifically came from individual bloggers. I do know that had I not read reviews about the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly, and the Chaos Walking series, by Patrick Ness, I would have never picked these up.
