Liana | 11 comments Only five? Really? Oh my god, here it goes...
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu (the trilogy) Twisted Perfection (Perfection, #1; Rosemary Beach, #3) by Abbi Glines Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) by Colleen Hoover The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden (The Coincidence, #1) by Jessica Sorensen

If we're talking about non YA/NA then I love:
Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett but it's a play so I don't even know if that counts

Good picks Benjamin. No you can name as many as you want. And I love Anne Rice as well.

I see a lot of the picks on the this thread are for the books that are popular at the time. Has your list changed or do you have your stand by favorites?

The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
This is Not a Test
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
The Fifth Wave

Mine are the same I think. Without looking back to see I would say:

1. The Iron Fey
2. The Tiger Saga
3. Shatter Me
4. Eragon/Inheritance Cycle
5. Ender's Game/Shadow

That is several series that includes probably more than 20 books but that's what I got. :P

Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are some of my favorites books! I also liked the first Eragon book.

I just finished Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi and I loved it. Also, have you read the Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis series? It was a great sci fi trilogy.

I did read Across the Universe. I did not care for it. I have a few books by John Scalzi on my tbr but I haven't read them yet.

I'm sorry that you didn't like Across the Universe. That last book in the trilogy was great!

I didn't care for it either Rebecca. I read the first one and it took me forever and I had to force myself through the second one. After that I gave up.

According to my goodreads review I read it in 3 days. Not bad, but I had no intention of continuing.

I just got Reawkened from the library but haven't read it yet. I read the Tiger novella and it was AMAZING!!! (Since I am Team Kishan. :P See my name.) But I don't own a copy yet.

I have never read Gone with the Wind and I can't think of why. I loved the movie and I'm assuming the book is much better.

I have moved the Tiger Saga up on my tbr since I really liked everything else on your favorites list.

More on Across the Universe...IMO the first book was 4 stars because of the uniqueness, the second was 3 stars, but I gave the last book 5 stars. So a great ending to an interesting but mediocre series.

But I gave Fortune's Pawn (Paradox, #1) by Rachel Bach 5 stars and I'm getting ready to read the next book.

That's good. I hope you enjoy it. As long as you are ok with lots of angsty, back and forth love-triangle stuff. :P


message 186: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 514 comments Sigh, I usually don't like the love triangle drama, but I loved the tough chick falling for the mysterious tough guy in the first book.
