Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.
It’s no secret: I read A LOT of popular books (especially YA.) I can’t help it. I just need to know what all the hype is about. And honestly, I’ve enjoyed most of them! Below are my faves!
Grisha Trilogy/Six of Crows Duology by Leigh Bardugo
An Ember in the Ashes Quartet by Sabaa Tahir
Vicious (Villains series) by V.E. Schwab
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air series) by Holly Black
Strange the Dreamer duology by Laini Taylor
Scythe (The Arc of a Scythe trilogy) by Neal Shusterman
Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orisha trilogy) by Tomi Adeyemi
Circe by Madeline Miller
A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The above list is just my opinion; I know several of these books may have some polarizing reviews! Do you have any favorite books that were over-hyped/popular? Let me know! 🙂

I agree about so many of these books! Especially ACOTAR, Vicious, Strange the Dreamer and Six of Crows. Sadly, The Cruel Prince and Children of Blood and Bone didn’t work out for me 😔

If you do you’ll have to let me know if you like them! Ember is a darker YA fantasy with a great cast!

I am ALMOST finished with the second book in An Ember in the Ashes! The series had been on my periphery but because the third one came out and everyone is FREAKING OUT about it I decided to read it!
Though I’m a little annoyed because I thought it was a triology, and I’ll have to go from reading all three in a matter of two weeks to waiting like A YEAR???? FOR THE NEXT ONE??? AAAAAAHHHG!

Ahhhh I totally feel your pain! I was hoping it would be a trilogy, too! Waiting for the last one is going to be torture 😩

ACOMAF, the Grisha trilogy, The Cruel Prince and Strange the Dreamer were all definitely worth the hype–I haven’t read the others yet but they’re all on my tbr!
