Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! I have been wanting to do this post for a while now. This is going to be the first top 5 Friday on my blog! I don’t know how it happens but I always fall behind on popular books so this post is almost like a challenge to myself! I’m only going to mention popular books that I own at least the first book to if not the whole series, so I have no real excuse not to read these!
1. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkein. Yep! I have not read the Lord of the Rings. I have all the books from the series and I still have not read it. I have no excuse other than it intimidates me because of the hype surrounding it and I have them in a collection so that the three LOTR books are in one book and it is huge! 2. I am probably one of the only YA book lovers that I know who has yet to pick up the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor! I have heard so much about this series and I do own the first book in this series too, I even met her and it’s signed. I have heard about her writing style and from the sounds of it, it is the writing style that I absolutely adore and cannot wait to dive right into. 3. The infamous Selection series by Kiera Cass. This one is a tricky one. There are a lot of mixed reviews of this out there but I have always been curious to see what all of the talking is about. I want to read it for the fluffy trilogy it is always described as and you can’t go wrong with a guilty pleasure read every now and then! 4. Everyone and their mothers have read the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. Unfortunately, I missed Maggie Stiefvater when she did an event in Dublin earlier this summer but I vaguely remember reading her Shiver series and really enjoying her writing so of course I am really looking forward to picking up this highly praised series. 5. And to wrap up this short list, I can’t escape from mentioning the Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo. This is also a good time to mention that I also haven’t read the Six of Crows duology for this very reason. I really want to experience the Grisha trilogy before I read the Six of Crows duology even though I know it is not all that necessary! I’ve heard so many amazing things about Leigh Bardugos writing style and I have a feeling I will just eat up her books. Thank you so much for reading and let me know in the comments if there are any books I mentioned that are some of your favourites? Which should I pick up first? Have a great day and I will see you soon with a new post! Much love, Megan. x
