Top Ten Tuesday | Five Star Reads

This weekly meme was was created by The Broke and the Bookish. This today’s theme is a “10 of My Most Recent 5 Star Reads“. 

From most recent to least recent. I’m not including rereads (which would be Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in this case). I have a lot of 4 and 4.5 star books, but I decided to only post the 5 star ones, even though I talk about most of them all the time. Whatever.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

[Review]

I finished this book just last week and I enjoyed it a lot. So incredibly geeky. I want to try a virtual reality like the OASIS.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

[Review]

I need to stop mentioning this book in every TTT topic. But it just fits everywhere, I can’t help it, I love it. I recently ordered the last two books in the trilogy so I’m looking forward to reading them.

Den Sommeren Pappa Ble Homo by Endre Lund Eriksen

This is a Norwegian book about a 12-year-old boy named Arvid who realizes his father might be falling in love with that gay dude that lives on their vacation spot. Said gay dude also happens to have a slightly annoying daughter that won’t leave Arvid alone. Cue juvenile angst and embarrassment because dad can’t be gay, right??? Especially not with that guy. It’s so hilarious, I was dying through the entire thing. I don’t know how it works in book form, I listened to the audio read by the author.

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

[Review]

I just loved how bittersweet this was. And I really love Eleanor.

More Than This by Patrick Ness

[Review]

This book is a wonderful rollecoaster ride. I always recommend going into it blind because it’s more fun that way. It’s a proper mindfuck.

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

[Review]

I still have yet to read the last book in this series, what’s wrong with me?? Goddamn. I really enjoy this series this far, it’s original and captivating.

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

[Review]

Everyone already knows this is one of my all-time favorites. I’m just obsessed with it. Who doesn’t love a good villain story? Read it. Right now.

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

[Mini review]

I read this book last summer so it’s been a while. I don’t even really know what it was about that book that made me enjoy it so much, all I know is that I loved it. I inhaled it in one sitting. I don’t know if I’m ever going to get around to reading the next book though, I feel like I might be happy with just this one. We’ll see.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This one’s so messed up. If you haven’t read the book then you’ve probably seen the movie (the movie’s amazing too). I love me some really unreliable narrators.

After Ben by Con Riley

This one goes way back. I read it in March 2014. I didn’t write a review on it so naturally I don’t remember much of the details, but it’s tragic and cute and I enjoyed it. It’s about Theo who lost his longtime partner a year ago who’s still feeling the effects of that. Then he meets someone online who he connects with. I recommend it, especially if you like new adult type books and/or m/m romance.
