Today I'm sharing 5 books that I read before I joined Goodreads, which was back in early 2011. Those were the times where I had to go to the bookstore and their tiny English selection to see what they books had. I'm excluding the Artemis Fowl books for this because I read the Dutch translated version when I was 13 so they don't really count. Sorry, Arty.

This is the book that introduced me to Kim Harrison and her wonderful writing. I really love this trilogy and feel like it doesn't get enough recognition or that not many readers know about it. My favorite character was Barnabas and I'm still mad Madison couldn't have ended up with him somehow.
YA, Paranormal/Fantasy

Wings was my first book that was about faeries. And oh I loved it so so so so much. And these books are still four of my all time favorite covers. The faeries in this book are pretty different from the ones you see these days that are more deadly but they still have a place in my heart. Oh and team Tamani all the way, right?!

Christina from Booklover's Tea Party recommended this book to me and I thought well why not it sounds good. I really didn't think I'd still be reading books in the Shadowhunter world. So the book that began it all will always be special to me. And I'm so glad Christina got me to read it so many years ago.

The Host is an amazing book. You can say whatever you want about Twilight. Hate it or love it (I love it personally) but The Host is the one that I think is Meyer's best one. The movie of The Host was awful, though. Absolutely the worst movie adaption ever. But seriously I looooove this book and in the days before Goodreads all I did was reread this book. I must've reread it 6 times or so in total and I hope I can reread it this year because it's been a while. And let's just all agree that Ian O'Shea was the best damn human being, okay?

Bitten is the book that introduced me to the awesome Kelley Armstrong. I've also read a couple of her YA books but Bitten is my favorite of hers. I've only read the first two books in this series so I do have some more reading to do. Elena and Clay will always be two of my most favorite couples in literature and the side characters were all amazing as well. + I really liked the tv show.
Which of these titles have you read or what books that you read years
ago would you recommend?
