Top Ten Tuesday


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

This Week: 

Ten Hidden Gem Books in X Genre: Pick a genre and share with us some books that have gone under the radar in that genre!

OKAY I AM CHEATING!!!! I am going to pick YA in general. I am sure that I could find a way to make all of these books fit into fantasy, but I do believe some fall more towards paranormal. I am so excited to find so many hidden gems in everyone's posts today!

I will talk about this book until the end of time. I see some people haul it, but they never get around to reading it, and it breaks my heart. I love the star cross lovers plot, the family dynamic, the comedy relief, and the fun twists to a classic. My love for this book will never die. 

This is another one that seems to be on alot of TBR lists, but not enough people have actually read it. I am currently re-reading this gem, and will have a review for it in the next couple of days. 

I do think this is a standard read for hard core JLA fans, but in retrospect  it seems to be one of her books that seems to get skimmed over and it confuses me. This by far is my favorite series by her. 

It is hard for me to find a fairy book I truly enjoy. Some of the more popular ones I just couldn't get into. This book was such a fun and enjoyable read. When I went to rave about it on Goodreads, I was shocked to see how few friends had read it. I marathoned this trilogy and fell in love with it! 

A fun witchy read that reads like a contemporary. It had a unique flare to the writing style, and took a fun twist on old stories and history. 
I think finding a good siren and/or mermaid book is like finding a needle in a hay stack. It is almost impossible to do, and it saddens me. This book did unique twists on mermaids and sirens.
Because I know the struggle of finding a good mermaid book I thought I should put two on here. This one takes more of a traditional route, and I thought it was a great summer read. 
Shannon is mostly known for her amazing middle grade series, and I feel like it let her YA trilogy slip through the cracks. This elemental fantasy was fun, exciting, romantic, and unique. Also, cover lust is a real thing when it comes to this trilogy. They are so gorgeous in person! 

Another amazing author, but she is mostly known for her contemporary books. I REALLY wish she would branch out more! This book is so compelling, and it can't be described properly. I feel like this book could be categorized in so many different genres. Paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, mystery, and probably more! This book is hands down a must read recommendation from yours truly! 
I love this series. I found it to be the right amount of fluff, angst, and fantasy. The magical world in this book is so beautiful, eerie, and whimsical and I ate it up! 

I want to take a moment and say that if you live in Houston or have loved ones there I am covering all of you in prayer. My prayer is a hedge of protection is around every single one of you, and that comfort and strength surrounds you.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before  Series: To All The Boys I've Loved Before #1  Author: Jenny Han Published: April 15th, 2014 by Simon & Schuster  Pages: 355 My Rating:  ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But now that I think about it, that seems to be all I’ve ever wanted.

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that could easil

Of Poseidon

  "Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen-literally, ouch!-both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance." I really enjoyed Of Poseidon  so much in fact that I have read it twice. Of Poseidon is the first book in the Syrena series, and this book is full of humor I was laughing from the very first page. The best part of this book was how much I laughed like a crazy person. Emma and Galen keep having strange encounters, and while Galen has an explanation for them, Emma just thinks he's a creepy stalker who wants to sue her for run
