Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Can't Believe I Read

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This topic could go either positive or negative, and I'm taking it both ways with a split list.

Books I Can't Believe I Read (in a Good Way)

1 and 2. Saint Anything and Once and for All by Sarah Dessen

I vaguely tried a couple Sarah Dessen books back when I first started reading YA, but I really didn't like them. Well, I ended up giving her two most recent titles a chance, and I'm so glad I did. I loved them!

3. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

It took me quite a while to read a Tolkien book (even though I'm a big Lewis fan), but Dr. Brown's adolescent lit class made this happen. I didn't love it, but I'm glad to have read it.

4. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

All the way back in 2014, I swore I'd never read Harry Potter.

Yeah. How wrong I was about never reading Harry Potter, lolololololol.


Books I Can't Believe I Read (in a Bad Way)


5. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
I read this for kicks and giggles back in the day, and wow, was I stupid. It was so mind-numbingly terrible that I couldn't write creatively for the longest time.


6. Autumn Falls by Bella Thorne
Not sure why I gave a book "written" by a celebrity a chance.


7. 26 Kisses by Anna Michels

8. Starry Night by Isabel Gillies
Do yourself a favor and never read this book. Read my review to find out why.


9. The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford
I had to read this for my Modern Novel class a few years ago, and... *cringes just thinking about it*


10. Don't Ever Change by Beth M. Bloom
This had so much potential, and it fell so flat. (Once again, you can read my review to find out why.)
