This week's topic:
Top Ten "Gateway" Books/Authors In My Reading Journey
~In no particular order~
Cinder by Marissa Meyer - This is the book that got me into fairy tale retellings. A pretty good one to start with, don't you think? =D
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer - I'd like to say that this book is the one that got me into reading but that isn't true. I've been reading as long as I can remember and I've always loved it so no... But this is the book that got me into fantasy ànd into books that are part of a series.
Thank you, Eoin Colfer!
Wings by Aprilynne Pike - This lovely book is the one that got me into reading books about faeries. But I suppose I've always had a thing for faeries. Love this series!
Girl with Guitar by Caisey Quinn - This is the one that got me into reading New Adult book. Before GWG I had never read a NA book but because I read a book by this author before I was curious to see what this one would bring and it's still my favorite book and series in the genre.

Prophecy of the Most Beautiful by Diantha Jones - This one that got me into books based on Greek Mythology. I always had a fascination with greek mythology and that's maybe why I'm so into these types of books. And also this series rocks!
Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost - This book got me into reading Paranormal Romance (the adult kind) and also let me meet Bones so I had to feature it in this list!

The Host by Stephenie Meyer - One of my favorite books (but not movies...) and the one that got me into the dystopian genre.
In a Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener - This is the book and author that got me into historical fiction. Michelle's books are fantastic. I adore her and her books!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - This is the one that got me (pretty recently) in contemporary young adult fiction. And now I kinda love the genre!
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - This is probably the most important one. The one that got me into reading English books. Yep. This is the first book ever I read in English and it's still one of the best decisions I ever made.
What's your top ten?
Leave me links to your posts!
The Host is a fantastic book. I agree with you that it would be a great introduction to dystopia! Great list :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Host is truly amazing. I also really love The Fault In Our Stars and Cinder.

Loved The Host!! It doesn't seem like it gets that much attention, so I'm glad to see it on someone's list. I didn't manage a TTT post today, but I did post a review of a book that I think absolutely everyone should read - check it out HERE!
