Ok so most of you have heard of Top 5 Wednesday if you are active in the bookblogging or booktube community. So I thought that I would start doing them. So this week's topic is top 5 books that you weren't expecting you'd like but did. These are in no paticular order.
1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Oh wow what a suprise I'm talking about Fangirl again. But this book had caught my eye many times in the book store and on the internet book community people were raving about this book. And I was intrigued but when it actually came to buying or reading it the premise didn't appeal to me. I thought it didn't make any sense when I read the back. But one day I was at a book store and I saw it there on the shelf just one copy of it and I couldn't help myself,I mean I couldn't leave the store without buying a bool of course (I have no self control) so I brought it home with me. I started it and automatically it started to consume me all I could think about were Rainbow Rowell's fictional characters. Overall it's now one of my favourite books of all time.
2.Looking for Alaska by John Green
Now I'm not going to lie I got this book after I finished TFIOS and I was convinced that John Green was my favourite authors so I went and bought all of his YA books. When I came home I googled each of them because I had no clue what they were about I just got them on an impulse :"). When I came to looking for Alaska I thought it was strange that there was about half way thru the book a page that just had one word in gigantin font. That word was After. I was so confused that I decided to google why it said that and I spoiled myself. I hadn't read the book but I already knew what was going to happen and when I read it out of context I was just like "this is stupid why did I buy this book it's probably terrible" and Ialmost didn't give it a chance and honnesttly I'm glad I did because it's become also one of my favourite novels.
3. If I Stay by Gayle Forman
I had just finished reading TFIOS and after that every book that said it's sad and blah blah blah but my mind just went to it's a ripoff of TFIOS because in my tiny little brain TRIOS was like the bibble at that point it was like the one of only YA love story book thing I had ever read. If I stay is definitely not the best book ever but that doesn't take away that I did cry and it did move. I did overall enjoy it.
4. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien
I only read this because I HAD to for school and I had seen the Lord of the rings and not been a huge fan pf the franchise so I went into it thinking I hate this it's gonna be terrible!! But surprisingly it wasn't I actually liked it. I'm not going to lie I cried at the end when it's like the war or whatever. I think reading the Hobbit made me fall in love with the whole franchise. Sincr then I have read the Lord of the rings and sern the movies. Now LOTR is one of my favourite trilogy and the Hobbit my favourite prequel novel.
5. The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
Ok so I started reading the first book in English class and I was really disappointed. I just didn't see what the big deal was. Everybody was talking abkut Percy like he was somekind of hero. And now with 5 books AND a spinoff series also with 5 books. With a total of 10 books,2 series and 2 movies (but they suck) I still hadn't hopped on the band wagon that is Percy Jackson. Also I had seen the first movie and not particularly enjoyed it so that was also a turn off. They just released new covers for the whole series and I just couldn't help myself they're so gorgeous so I bought them. And recently I read and finished the first novel in like 2 hours andI lived it sooooooooooo much and I'm so excited to continue on the series!!
