Before I start I want to
say how sorry I am for not posting in the last week and half as I did have my
Year 11 Exams and was very busy studying for them. And then over the weekend it
was my birthday and I was doing birthday things. If you follow me on twitter I am
sorry for many apologies that I sent
out. So back to what you came here for.
Top Ten Tuesday is an
original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each
week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the
Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s
Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I'd Recommend To X Person
I
am aiming my list as, Young Adult books
that I recommend adults to read, as
sometimes I get the feeling that even though some adults want to try and read
some YA they don’t know where to start, and if they start on a book that isn’t
quite what they are looking for that might never read YA again. I am a firm
believer that anyone over the age of 12 maybe a little older can read YA and
love it so here is my list of what I think adults could read and love. Again like I say every week, these are in no particular
order.
1. The Fault in out Stars by John Green - I adore this book, I think
it’s an amazing read and a real eye opener; it knocks you on your feet and
makes you think what is real. I think this will be an amazing book for adults
to read to help them bring themselves back to reality and to also show then
that Teens do feel emotional as well. You can read my full review here
2. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – I know that my mum is very hesitate on reading
these, as it’s children killing children and I just think, would it make a difference
if it was adults killing adults, no they are still human, I think this is what
most adults don’t like about the books. She loves the movies so I keep on trying to convince her to read them as
they are so much better. But I think if you are an adult you should defiantly
read The Hunger Games Trilogy it is so much more than Killing people
3. The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
– For an Adult that likes
demons, Angel and all types of supernatural creatures, I think that they should
totally read this series. They are really good reads and I think everyone
should read them. They can show the adults what life is like growing up, coming
into adulthood for a Teen, through the metaphor that Cassandra uses. My mum
watched the movie and feel in love, so she decided to read the books, she read
the whole series in a month; it normally takes her 1 month to read one book. So as you can see Adults can read and love
these books as well. Here is my review on City of Bones.
4. Pawn by Aimee Carter – I just read this recently and I think it’s an
amazing read and as dystopian is quite ‘in’ at the moment I think this is a
perfect read to pick it up and understand it. I think adults will enjoy this
even though the main protagonist is in her teens; she and others are relatable
in certain ways. My Review for Pawn will be up in a few days
5. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen – Is a beautiful romance that everyone should
read, and I think that they will enjoy. I think it attracted females more, but
not saying males won’t like. I think that sometimes everyone needs that
romantic read. You can read my review of Just Listen Here
6.The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling – although it’s not YA, I think everyone should
read Harry Potter no matter how old you are, everyone can learn something from
it.
7. Divergent by Veronica Roth – Again with the Dystopian so ‘in’ right now, I
think this is a perfect read, especially with the movie coming out soon. I think this is a great coming of age story,
finding out whom you are. I think both teens and adults can benefit from Divergent
and both can love it. You can take a look at my review on Divergent.
8. Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan – Yes again I know this isn’t
‘YA’ but I think these are great read for adults,
also great for parents to read to their children, they can both enjoy it and
love it. I don’t know many people that have read Percy Jackson and disliked it.
You can read my review on the first book here and the rest of the reviews are
up on my blog.
9. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Lani Taylor – If your an adult or you know one that likes, Angels, Mystery and
loves to not know what is happening. This is a good read for you. I think both
teens and adults can enjoy these books.
10. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon – I just started reading this but I really think
adults will enjoy this books as well as teens, especially those whom like
science fiction and fantasy.
So there you go, there
is my list, there is probably lost more to add to this list, but from what I have
read these are what I think adults would like if they read YA. Do you agree
with any of these? What would you put on the list?
Harry Potter for sure :)
