This week's top 10 Tuesday topic is "Top 10 Unique Books I have Read" and I got to give out some love to the books that I felt were different and AWESOME from the rest!
So here's my top 10 Most Unique Books I've Read (in no particular order)!
1. The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
An AWESTACTULAR book from Neil Gaiman that was quite unusual from the usual fantasy fare (monsters made out of paper, another world)?
2. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
3. Coraline by Neil Gaiman
4. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Whoever thought I would see a book about MONSTERS and ANGELS living in the same universe together?
5. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Seriously?! Whoever thought that the day would come where we have a book that stars a SCHOOL FOR YOUNG WIZARDS? AMAZING!!
6. Unearthly Series by Cynthia Hand
I've read paranormal series about vampires and monsters, but ANGELS? Not on your life!
7. Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
ALIENS!!!! Who would have thought that there would be a paranormal romance series about ALIENS!?
8. The Storyteller by Antonia Michaelis
Now this is one romance novel that had a pretty dark twist that I didn't see coming!
9. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
10. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
I loved TFIOS. I thought it was so smart and honest and yes, a total sobfest. I wish John Green would write more books. I couldn't get through Obsidian. It felt too much like a Twilight knock-off. I did like that the M/C was a book blogger though!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, TFIOS was a really sad book to read, but I still loved it!
DeleteOoh, I love all the Neil Gaiman on this list! And I TOTALLY agree that his books are always super unique and lovely.😍 I adore the Graveyard Book and also Good Omens!! That was so weird and hilarious. 😂
ReplyDeleteOooh! I need to read Good Omens someday!
DeleteNeil Gaiman is awesome! I've only read a couple of his middle grade books (The Graveyard Book and Fortunately, the Milk), but I have loved them. I keep trying to convince myself to read his books for adults. One day!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed his adult books! I want to read his latest adult book Norse Mythology someday!
DeleteI've only just heard of Laini Taylor the other day. I really have to pick up something by her soon!

DeleteI've not read any of Neil's books, but they sure do sound unique! Oh, and The Fault in our Stars is a really unique contemporary read for my reader back list too. Forgot about that one. :)
