Tammy's List:

by Alice Sebold
- The Postmortal

- Bleeding Violet

- Thirteen Reasons Why

- Most dystopian books are very hard for me to read, though they are usually very addictive- (The Hunger Games by Su
Suzanne Collins and Divergent
by Veronica Roth to name a few)
- I don't like books about Zombies and have a hard time reading books that deal with Ghosts.
The Lovely Bones - now why didn't I think of that? Ditto at dystopian books, I figured it wasn't really my thing either, but it's funny how things change.
ReplyDeleteThe Lovely Bones made my list too. I guess it pushes a lot of readers out of their comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteMy top ten is here if you'd like a look :)
I LOVED To Kill A Mockingbird both times that I read it. What a fantastic book to include on your list!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that contemp is outside the comfort zone? Since that's what a lot of those seem to be. Yeah, I was never like a HUGE contemp person, but if the synopsis is good and not too after school special I'll totally read it.
I had Before I Fall. Contemps were never in my comfort zone until I read that book. It was because of that, that I ended up reading If I Stay. Love those books now.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read Thirteen Reasons Why, but it is a tough topic and way outside my comfort zone.
Great lists! I have to check out a few of these books.
