Top Ten Tuesday - Books I Enjoyed Outside My Comfort Zone

Hello Poetteers,


When I first got into reading I enjoyed the MG mysteries. As I got to YA novels I mostly stuck with contemporary and historical. It shows that in my bookshelf. Here are top ten five books I enjoyed that weren’t my type of book.


1. The Lunar Chronicles 
It was my first sci fi series I read and loved!


2. Ms. Marvel
The first comic book series I read and enjoyed. 


3. Throne of Glass series
The first high fantasy series I read and fell in love with. 


4. Unwind 
My first dystopian read. It was interesting and I liked it. I still need to continue the series but I haven't be pulled to finish it. 


5. My Name is Memory 
This is the first novel I read with time travel.

Thank you,
Fida

Glad you enjoyed the Throne of Glass series. You should definitely continue with the Unwind series, it's a great series of books. The Lunar Chronicles is a series that I really want to read, though I'm not sure when I'll get to it.

I'm glad to see you loved Ms. Marvel! It was the first superhero comic series I read too and I loved it. You should check out the New 52's Wonder Woman series, it's great too!
Thanks for stopping by the The Local Muse

I also read Throne of Glass to get out of my comfort zone, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

I also prefer contemporary, but speculative fiction grabs my attention too.

I own a copy of Cinder and I've yet to read it. I definitely need to. My Name is Memory looks wonderful.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
