Top Ten Tuesday - Books I Never Reviewed

Welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by that artsy reader girl since 2018. This week's topic is books I've read but have not reviewed. I've listed a few books I read before I started my blog so I wasn't able to review them.

This week's topic: Books I never reviewed

1. Daughter of The Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

I read this book a few years ago, and I thought it was alright. There was a lot of hype around this book at the time and I was so eager to read it, but sadly it didn't live up to the hype. I liked parts of the story and I loved the romance but it just wasn't as amazing as I was expecting it to be.

2. A Good Girl's Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson

I've read this whole trilogy and I thought it was very enjoyable. I love a good mystery and these were amazing. They were fast-paced and I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Though I have to confess, the last book was my least favorite while the first was the best.

3. Inferno by Dan Brown

 Inferno was the first Dan Brown book I read and at the time it was a new experience for me since I only used to read middle-grade fantasy. It's still my favorite of the Robert Langdon books and I will always have a space in my bookshelf for it. 

4. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

I've been hearing people rave about this series since I was in school, so when my sister bought a copy when we were on vacation I couldn't wait to find out what the fuss was all about. Sadly, I didn't understand the hype at all. The story honestly read like a Wattpad book, and the writing seemed strange at times. I'm going to try to read more in the series as people have told me it gets better after the third book or so, but it's not a high priority at the moment.

5. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne

I've read three Jules Verne books till now and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea is the one I like the least. There I things I liked about it of course, the adventure, the underwater world, and Captain Nemo to name a few, but overall I was left painfully bored.

6. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

A book that actually lived up to all the hype around it! I loved The Night Circus, the atmospheric writing is some of the best I've read, and the circus itself is so whimsical. I love the relationship between the two characters so much and I couldn't get enough of them.

7. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

I read A Curse So Dark and Lonely a few years ago and it was a lot of fun! It's a unique spin on a Beauty and the Beast retelling and I loved all of the characters. Sadly, I've only read the first book, and I've heard that it doesn't have the best ending, especially for the characters I love the most, so I probably won't read the other two just yet.

8. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

I've read The Lies of Locke Lamora twice now. The first time I didn't like it and couldn't bring myself to finish it properly and the second time I loved it. It's such a unique and clever plot I still think fondly of the book. However, I didn't like the second book, or maybe I need to give it another shot and see if my opinion changes like it did the first time ;)

9. Skullduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy

I read Skullduggery Pleasant years ago after hearing great things about the series from BookTube. I thought it was a lot like Percy Jackson and that the plot didn't seem any different from the other middle grades I had read. I don't remember it much now, but I only read the first book. Maybe I'll try reading the second some time.

If you haven't read my review of Georgie Summers and the Scribes of Scatterplot yet you can do so here. Thanks for reading!
