OK guys and gals, consider yourselves tagged if you are interested!


My all-time favourite book is Stephen King's It. I loved the switching stories between past and present, I loved all the scary faces of Pennywise, the bullies that stalked the Loser's Club and the characters themselves. Great book that I really want to re-read!



I read a lot of books with kickass females! I like a female character that doesn't have to rely on a man to get her out of trouble and who can hold her own in any situation! In this series we have women like Dany, Cersei, Arya, Brienne, Catelyn, Melisandre, Olenna, Margaery, Asha and eventually even Sansa comes to the party. Great strong characters!



I had a long list for this category but after checking, most of the books are not actual author debuts! This was originally self published after being rejected by every publishing house!


 

I read this for a book challenge and found it shocking and compelling. It awoke a love of reading about these dangerous expeditions and I've read a lot of them since this one.



I never recommend a book for 'everyone' as there is no such thing! Everyone has different reading tastes. If you love zombies though, these three series are brilliant fast paced reads!



*grunts* there are a few books I really hated when I tried to read them and this selection are top of the list. 

 


I don't read 'ground-breaking' kind of books really unless they are scary prepper apocalypse books and they certainly don't come under beautiful! I'm going for well written books instead.




I totally love the covers for this series and the books are great as well! Next one is due out the start of February and I can't wait!



I'm a pretty fast reader if I get my teeth into a really good book and I can read several hundred pages in a good reading session. When I first read this series, I read the first four books in a matter of days and have loved the series since.

  1. I liked two of your Hades books, but I get that all our reading tastes will not align. I agree, the Extinction Trials covers are very appealing.

    1. One man's trash is another man's treasure as they say! I think it's great that we all have such varied book tastes. I just wish the haters on Goodreads could respect when someone doesn't share their opinion of a book!

  2. I have got to get started on The Extinction Trials series! And I would love to see Reilly's Contest made into a movie. I really had fun reading it and can't believe it was rejected. Fun tag!

  3. Harry Potter...Mr Wonder kept buying me the books after I fell in love with the first one. Had to make sure I had first editions. Great post and thanks for sharing all the lovelies.

  5. I would like to read The Extinction Series. I also love the covers. Most of these I haven't read and I don't know why. Have a wonderful week!
