Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl listing a different topic each week for a new top 10 list.
Hello lovelies and welcome back.
Sorry if I haven’t been around the past week but I have an exam coming up and university stuff to do, ya know.
Anyways, let’s get to the good stuff; the topic for this Tuesday is Books I Loved but Will Never Re-Read.
Well, damn. This is quite difficult because I LOVE re-reading books. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like starting something new or I’m a bit in a reading slump, I go back and read something I know I’ll like.
Nevertheless, it took me a while but I came up with a list (I included books I love but also ones that I just like), so here you go:
Loved them but not my usual genre
1. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
2. Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
Read them when I was younger so I don’t want to ruin the memory
3. The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
4. Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
5. Princess Academy (Princess Academy #1) by Shannon Hale
I cried so much I just can’t read them again
6. Making Faces by Amy Harmon
7. Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth
Just because
8. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
9. Summer Fling by Jerica MacMillan
10. The Legend (Sons of Texas #3) by Donna Grant
Hope you like my list, let me know what you think! ❣️
I didn’t think I’d enjoy The Lightning Thief as much as I did. I found it to be highly enjoyable but I don’t think I’d reread it.

Same! I really liked it but I’m afraid I wouldn’t like the way it’s written that much anymore

Allegiant was on my list too. I’m not sure if I’d enjoy Percy Jackson as much as I did when I read them first, but I have reread them before anyway, so couldn’t use them for this week (and tbh would probably reread for the nostalgia!).

I really liked the story of Percy Jackson and I miss it sometimes but I already had some issues with how it was written the first time I read it so I’d probably like it even less right now. I loved the second series a lot more tbh 😊

Fair enough! I feel like even though the second series was written for the same audience, it reads older? Idk.

Yeah, something like that. I thought the writing was better 🙂

I would love to reread the Divergent series if it werent for the last book. It really let the series down.

Yeah, you’re not the first one telling me that. It’s been a while since I read the series so I don’t remember the last book that well but the ending broke my heart lol

As much as I was ok (?) with the ending to Allegiant, I think my probable reasoning for not wanting to re-read it is that the last book felt like such a big departure in the characters that made the experience feel a bit weird to me (or maybe I’m alone in that opinion haha)..
Cheers,

It’s been so long that I don’t even remember the whole book, lol. I just know that even if it made me cry I loved the ending, I just can’t read it again.
