Top Ten Books and Series

 Hello everyone, happy Wednesday! (This is a thing.)

Here's my top ten series and books, as I don't read enough series to condone a top ten series list. They aren't ordered they are simply the books which I think are the best.

1. A Song Of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin

Possibly one of the best  series I have ever read. Mr Martin introduces us to a complex world with compelling, unforgettable characters. Twists, turns, extremely well written characters and character death scenes are his forte.

2. Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling


Do I need to explain? Harry Potter was my childhood and with it's crazily imaginative world and engrossing characters it will remain one of my favourite series of all time.

3.Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys

I read this last year, and was blown away by the depth of this YA historical fiction novel. It's set in the 1950s in New Orleans.Josie is trying to break away from being known as the prostitute's daughter and she wishes to go to college. However, the French Quarter isn't safe with death and gangsters lurking around the corner.

4.Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

Nominated for the Carnegie medal. This book is a strong work, about the strength of friendship. It's a historical novel that I couldn't stop thinking about for days. I can't wait to get my hands on 'Rose Under Fire'!

5.Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Funny, romantic complete with beautiful writing this classic is a classic. It is surprisingly hilarious, and the characters are really relate able. A classic Classic!




6.Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

I didn't expect to like it, but I read it and adored it! Dessen at her best.

7.The Red Necklace duo logy by Sally Gardner

French revolution? Magic?A Dwarf? Theatres? Oh yes please! An amazing well written series, by one of my favourite authors.

8. Divergent (the book not the series) by Veronica Roth

I certainly love this more than the last book in the series. The start to this series is realistic, powerful with complex characters and a fast paced plot, a must read.

9.Faeries by Brian Froud and Alan Lee

Filled with British folk lore and beautiful illustrations this is a breath taking beautiful book. It's ideal for art or people who love myth, legend and folklore (or maybe Tolkien?)

10.The Book Thief by Marcus Zusac

The best of the best. A heart wrenching tale of a girl growing up in Germany during World War Two. A book for people who love words.
