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 week theme is Best Suggested Books You Loved. I’m really bad with reading books people recommend but I actually found some even if most of them were recommended by booktubers. Let’s see the books that made this list 🙂
Addicted to You (Addicted #1) by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie
I watched a video by Riley Marie a few months ago where she talked about New Adult books and this one seemed pretty interesting so I read it last week and I really enjoyed it. I’m happy that I gave this book a change and I can’t wait to read the remaining books.
Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh Mafi
For some reason I really didn’t want to read this book a few years ago but by that time I used to watch Tea Time, a liveshow tha Margot and Aubry from Epic Reads had weekly, and they were always talking about the series and how amazing it was. Also, they keep talking about chapter 55 from Ignite Me and I decided to read it. One week later I finished the series and I love it. It’s one of my favorite series ever.
Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss #1) by Stephanie Perkins
I’m almost 100% sure that I read this book because Katytastic was always talking about it. I really liked everything she said about it and I decided to read it. Good thing I did it because I love this book and it’s one of my favorite contemporaries ever.
Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma
This is another one I’ve read because of a booktuber. I was watching a review of this book and it was actually a portuguese booktuber, Joca @Little House of Books, that reviewed it and everything she said made me want to read this book. Also, the plot is different and it’s controversial. I absolutely adored this book even if it destroyed me.
Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick
Look, I actually have a book series that was recommended by a friend that I’ve known for at least half of my life and not a booktuber XD . One of my friends loved these books and she wanted me to read it because she thought I would like it so she borrowed them to me and I loved these. I know a lot of people don’t like it but I really enjoyed these.
These are some of the books recommended to me that I loved. What about you?
Shatter Me! I love that series so much ❤ I discovered Anna and The French Kiss thanks to the book community, and all the hype surrounding that book..and I'm so happy I did 😀

I love Anna and the French Kiss. I can’t get over the controversy to read Forbidden- is it really good then? Was it not a bit disturbing?

Forbidden is a difficult book. It’s one of that books that you don’t know what to think and if you like the main characters as a couple because they are siblings. I really enjoyed it because I could see why that happened even if I’m still against incest. But it’s a hit or miss book. Some people love it and some people hate it
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah, that sounds like something I might not be able to cope with to be honest. There’s some things I just can’t read without wanting to be sick- incest is one of them. (Pedophilia’s another and I had to read Lolita for uni- it was horrendous
)

I know how you feel. It’s really difficult and I understand why a lot of people don’t want to read it

I also discovered Anna and the French Kiss through Katytastic! I love seeing books everyone enjoys. I’ve been meaning to read Hush Hush but I’m not sure with all the mixed reviews.

Shatter Me is fantastic, I finished that in a span of a day and a half! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and even more glad that you actually decided to pick it up!
You enjoyed Hush Hush? I’m glad you enjoyed it more than me. I couldn’t grasp the story, I couldn’t connect with the characters! It just didn’t work for me, unfortunately.

I liked it when I read the first 3 books. Then I had to wait for the last book a couple of years and I ended up not liking that much. Teen me might have loved that book but I’m sure now I wouldn’t like it that much

Can you think of TV characters?? (not counting with Jace)

Sure! I never liked Bill on True Blood, Gus on Shameless was a bad idea too, I don’t like the third male love interest for Jane on Jane the Virgin, I never liked Chili for Jimmy on Chicago Fire, honestly not a fan of Iris for Barry on the Flash either, Camille for Klaus on the Originals … shall I go on?

Duncan and Piz were wrong for Veronica Mars, I don’t like TV Alice on the Magicians all that much even though she was one of the better ones in the books, I loved Malia in the beginning but now I cringe at her scenes with Stiles, also not sure how I feel about Hayden for our pup Liam. Drake is hot, but wrong for Liv on iZombie as well. Anyone Juliette dated other than Avery was terrible on Nashville. There are these new doctors on Saving Hope and while I like one actor so much, the girl they paired him with is terrible. And one of the older cast got paired with the wrong woman as well. I still can’t get into Enzo and Bonnie on TVD and I prefer Anne Bonny with Jack instead of Max on Black Sails. I am getting tired of this, but obviously I can think of couples on TV. How about you?

I don’t like Malia. I also don’t like Lexa but my opinion might change after the last episode I saw. Robin and Ted was wrong. Also, don’t me talk about Tess in Roswell. Nope. I didn’t like her. And I also don’t like Jeremy from UnREAL. He doesn’t do any good to Rachel

I kind of like Lexa. Did you finally watch the last episode? You didn’t tweet me!!!
Oh yeah – Robin belonged to Barney!!!
Tess .. meh … didn’t like her either. She just messed everything up.
True about Jeremy. I thought he was a good guy in the beginning.
