TGIF!

Hosted by Greads

Today's question: Which book from the last 10 you've read would you recommend to a friend?

Obviously for me it would hands down be The Hunger Games! It barely makes my last ten read, but it does! So, it counts! I think it makes an excellent reader for readers and nonreaders alike. I suckered my sister and a couple of coworkers into reading it, and no one has been able to put it down. 

If I had to choose a less obvious answer, I'd probably say City of Bones

"Oh, but, Ashley, I thought you didn't really love City of Bones!"

You are absolutely right! I didn't love it. It does seem, however, that almost everyone else has! (we're making recommendations, remember?) Having now finished City of Ashes I definitely have a lot more investment in the series, too. I really liked the second book. It's given me a greater appreciation for the first. 

What are you recommending this week?!

  1. The Hunger Games is a great recommendation! I was late to the game (only read it last year) but I LOVED it.

  2. The Hunger Games isn't my favorite series ever, but I would absolutely recommend it to others. On the other hand, TMI is one of my favorite series ever. I have told tons of people to read those books. Stick w/it. They get better and better.

  3. Love, love, love The Hunger Games! I finished the trilogy last year (late to the game as well) and passed it off to anyone who was willing to listen.

  4. YES YES YES x a million for the Hunger Games!! That series was definitely one of my favourites too! <3 It's also the book that I actually got my anti-reading sister to pick up just like you did with yours, and I'm going to try to get a million more people to read it before the movie. SO EXCITED! :)

    Awesome recommendations, Ashley! :) I'm really glad that you're starting to love the Mortal Instruments series even more because it's one of my favourites too!

    Have you read Wither by Lauren DeStefano? Just started it and it's pretty good so far!

  10. I absolutely loved the first HUNGER GAMES so I'm on board with that rec. :) Plus it's the book that reignited my blazing love for YA, so it's always going to have a special place in my heart!
