- Have fun!
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
If you know my blog, you knew I was going to put this book in here somewhere, might as well get it in right at the start. At just about any point during this book, I could have put the book down and thought to myself, “I have never read anything like this!”
It’s such a unique premise with a well-thought out world. Beside this book, most books start to look a little cliché.
Golden Son by Pierce Brown
This one has an unfair advantage because I just finished it, but WOW! In all honesty, it wasn’t the kind of ending that was completely unexpected, simply based on past events within the series, but it still hit me in the face like a brick.
It’s set up to go one way, then it keeps jerking left and right like two overly polite people trying to get around each other in the grocery store.
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
This one has all the feels, especially if you’re dog person.
In short, the entire book is narrated by the family dog, Enzo. And he’s such a good boy! Yes, he is!
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
Look at those colours. Yup.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Kaz Brekker is the man.
This might be a heavily debated decision. There’s a lot of setup in the Six of Crows before the action begins. But I chose it because once the action really begins, it goes on and on and on. I think it might still be going on right now. I might have to read Wonder Woman to see if Kaz shows up in the background somewhere…
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
This was, by far, the hardest decision in the entire tag. There are so many books that I want to read, and I want to read them all RIGHT NOW! But Illuminae is probably the one that has been that highest on my list for the longest amount of time. It’s currently “on deck” as soon as I finish Morning Star.
Honourable mention goes to This Savage Song, Invictus, Nevernight, and about 37 others.
Since I wasn’t tagged on this one, I’m not going to tag anyone in turn. Though, I encourage everyone to take a crack if you feel the desire. It was a really fun one to take part in.
Seriously your “fun facts” about your posts have me falling over laughing!!!!
LOVE your answers! Ready Player One was just so unique and I almost chose that one myself. And I’m so glad to see you want to read Illuminae! So good! It took a while for me to get into it but once it got started I was obsessed. Basically all the Jay Kristoff need to be on your list!!
I’ve got my own version of the Fall Book Tag queued up for Thursday’s post (I’ve got way too much stuff to put in between now and then to publish it any sooner!), and I love reading other peoples’ answers!
I’ll totally hop on board with “Ready Player One” being super unique. I’d certainly never read anything that catered so hard to my inner video game nerd. It was amazing.
I read Illuminae as the first book for Aetnee’s #TheReadingQuest, and I enjoyed it, but found the AI to be my favorite character. (I’m probably not supposed to root for something that’s not human/living, but who cares?)
I keep hearing things about the Six of Crows series: it seems like people either hate it or they love it, with no in-between. I might have to give it a shot.
I saw your post on The Reading Quest! I wish I knew about it when it started. Seems like it would have been fun!
