It’s the final Tuesday of Harry Potter month for Shanah’s Top 5 Tuesday. Slytherins are last. Not sure if this is Shanah saving the best for last, or putting her least favourite house last.
While my own wife is Slytherin, these aren’t necessarily books for her as much as books for people that are ambitious, shrewd, cunning, and strong.
Six of Crows
If Kaz Brekker isn’t a Slytherin, then I don’t know who is. The green and silver might not appreciate all the moments where someone pulls some death defying feat for another’s safety, but they’d definitely appreciate Kaz.
Themis Files
Our narrator is pure Slytherin material. Don’t like him? He doesn’t care.
To Kill a Kingdom
Large parts of this book seems to be able people who are out for themselves.
Nevernight
If murder and assassination was a class at Hogwarts, it would be full of Slytherins (and one mis-understood Hufflepuff.)
How to Win Friends and Influence People
They might not be so worried about the friends part, but the rest, absolutely.
Sleeping Giants is a perfect choice and I didn’t put it on my list… wow so disappointed in myself!
I did include Six of Crows, though. Kaz is the definition of Slytherin.
I do want to read Nevernight!
I haven’t read any of these but my boyfriend who has been classified as Slytherin through Pottermore has read 2 of these so this list speaks truth š
That’s good to hear. Cause making this list just feels like a Ravenclaw pretending to be a Slytherin.
Haha just use a Polyjuice Potion. No one will ever know….
I still need to get to To Kill A Kingdom. You talk about it quite often and I need to know why you love it so much! Great choices š
Yes. Yes you do.
Hahahaha Shanah also chose Nevernight! This is my next book by Jay Kristoff! Hopefully in March š
Loved this list!

Nevernight is a great pick! (Tho I think there would be a couple Ravenclaws there too .. you know purely for “academic” purposes)
Of course! LOL
(Finally catching up) I can’t believe I left Kaz off my list!! This was great!
