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.

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human.

How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f...
