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!

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. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. 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...
