I’M A RAVENCLAW! That being said, you might think that putting together the list for this week’s Top 5 Tuesday would be easy, but you would be WRONG! If anything it was more difficult. I had to recommend books for people like me, and I like a lot of random things. How do you recommend books that will cover the wide gamut of what Luna or Cho might be feeling on any given day?
Ah, well. Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure. Here we go!
Ready Player One
You have to know I was going to put this one under my own person house, right? No explanation needed. It’s awesome. Ravenclaws are awesome. Match made in heaven Hogwarts.
Illuminae Files
Wait. Am I just picking Sci-Fi titles for Ravenclaw? Let’s be honest, though. All houses are going to love The Illumae Files because they’re (mostly) human.
The Name of the Wind
It’s got magic, but it takes a real scientific angle with it. I think Ravenclaw’s would appreciate that. It’s more than just hand-waving while some sparkles. There’s reason and logic to everything.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
This is a historical fiction that takes place during the golden age of comic books. Creation of Superman and all that. Really fascinating stuff for a comic book nerd like me. And if there are any comic nerds at Hogwarts, they’re most likely wearing blue. Or maybe yellow…
The Martian
Mark Watney seems to have everything a Ravenclaw would look for. Smartest man on an entire planet, yet continually pulls off miracles that only seem possible with a little magic.
If I love all these books does that mean I’m a Ravenclaw too?😁
Maybe you’re a combo. GryffinClaw or RavenPuff?
Yes Ready Player One! The Martian was also a great read 🙂 I wish I was a Ravenclaw but I got Slytherin in the Pottermore sorting :/.
You should have just ‘told’ the hat where to put you. LOL
You know how the hat is! He does what he wants. How do you think Malfoy felt when he was put into Slytherin instead of Hufflepuff like he wanted 😛
Good thing he found Crabbe and Goyle, notorious for their ability to snuggle.
Illuminae was quite a winner today Joe!!!
I really like your list! I haven’t read the amazing adventures of Kavalier & Clay and the martian (But I watched the movie..). I really want to read the martian though!

I saw the movie first and then read the book. Still enjoyable the whole way.
This is the whole reason I am picking characters for the houses!! Hahaha. You have done wonderfully though, as us Ravenclaws are a bit random! 😂
The Martian is an interesting novel but I had a few difficulties with all the technology stuff in there. To be honest, watching the film really clarifited some stuff. Anyway, Great picks!
my list: https://thepunktheory.wordpress.com/2019/02/12/t5t-books-for-ravenclaws/
I’m a Ravenclaw too <3 And I think Scientific Fantasy is absolutely perfect for Ravenclaws 😀
Right?!
Looks like you and Shanah have a few in common for this list! Fun Fact- I am ALSO in Ravenclaw!
