It’s that time of the week again when I bring you the Top 5 Wednesdays, created by gingerreadslainey. If you want to know how T5W works you can go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. This weeks theme is Top 5 Favorite Series Novellas. Because I haven’t read that much novellas I decided to do a top Favorite Novellas, so the novellas I’m going to include in this top are not only from series but also stand-alones. So let’s see some of my favorite novellas .
5. What Really Happened in Peru – Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
You might know that I love the Shadowhunters universe but I’ve only read one of the novellas (is this even considered a novella?) because I started The Bane Chronicles but haven’t finished yet. I know that this is not the favorite Magnus novella but I liked it mainly because it has Magnus and I love Magnus. So I had to include this one in this week T5W. Maybe I will have a new favorite when I decide to read the remaining book.
4. Maybe Not (Maybe #1.5)- Colleen Hoover
Is it possible to love a novella more than the book? I love Colleen Hoover but I had a few problems with Maybe Someday (if you read this book you know what I’m talking about). However I loved the novella. This novella is not about the main characters of Maybe Someday. It is about their roommates, Warren and Bridgette. I loved Warren so I was really happy to read more about him.
3. A Summer Like No Other (Broken Dreams #1.5)- Elodie Nowodazkij
This one is actually really cool because the novella was released before the book so we have a taste of what is going to happen and we are able to meet the main characters but this novella makes you want to read more about the story. This is a young adult contemporary series and I really enjoyed what I’ve read until now.
2. Finding Cinderella (Hopeless #2.5)- Colleen Hoover
Another Colleen Hoover novella. I loved Hopeless and Losing Hope but I also loved this novella. It’s was pretty cool to get to know better Daniel and Sky because they didn’t appear that much in the main books and I really wanted this to be a full length novel. I think that the story between them deserved a full length novel but I loved the novella 😀 .
1. Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5)- Tahereh Mafi
Everyone knows that after Shatter Me everyone hated Warner. I did too, that guy was despicable and I couldn’t understand why people loved him. However this novella helped people with understanding a little bit of Warner reasons behind everything he did. While think that we was crazy and creepy in the first book this novella made me start seeing Warner in a different way. I could also include Fracture Me in this T5W but I was already mad with Adam when I read it and decided not to include it.
These are some of my Favorite Novellas. Have you read any of this books?
yay, i just haven’t read one of these 😀
my favorite novella from the Bane Chronicles has to be his first date with Alec 😀 it’s just so cute, have you read that one?

No. I only read this one :(. But I will end up reading it before the show starts and I will probably love that one because Magnus and Alec’s first date must have been great 😀

YASSSS for Destroy Me! That is the novella that changed everything for me in that series. Fracture Me didn’t have as much of as affect on my opinion than this one did. It was amazing
