Oh man! It has been two months since Veronica and I participated in the TTT. And it’s super great to be back at it.
This weeks TTT is “Ten Books Ever x Should Read“.
Since I am a huge fantasy junky… my TTT is “Ten Books Every Fantasy Lover Should Read “.
1. Six of Crows cause you doesn’t love a story with magic, romance, action, heists, robbery, and more?
2. The Square Root of Summer. Time travel, science fiction, romance, and quantum physics. You had me at time-travel!
3. The Wrath and The Dawn. Fairy-tale retellings? Magic carpets? Unexplained magic? Blossoming love? Uh, I’m in! And so should you!
4. Half-Blood. Because I can never get enough about Greek mythology, fantasy lovers should read The Covenant Series! Greek Gods, Demi Gods, Half-bloods, Titans. So. Much. Lore.
5. A Matter of Fate. This series I read last summer and it just blew me away. It’s a contemporary fantasy, making it easier to read, and more realistic… if magic and super powers were real. Also there is romance, and a love triangle (but not in a gross Twilight way.)
6. Under Different Stars. This series was quite unique. Taking place on both earth and the main character’s home planet. It definitely requires imagination and an open mind. But, none the less, it is packed full of fantasy elements.
7. Queen of the Tearling. This was an interesting fantasy read. Two queens, one with power, the other- barely functioning. They fight over land and resources, and how they came this world came to be is quite extraordinary.
8. Abandon. Another Greek mythology retelling, this one about Persephone and Hades. Takes place on a tiny island full of weird creatures.
9. Fallen. I haven’t really given you any paranormal reads yet, and this one is fantastic. Angels, demons, two families at war, forbidden love.
10. Teardrop. A story about a girl, who if she cries, will flood the world. Based on the mythology of Atlantis.
Ahh I am SO excited to read The Square Root of Summer, it sounds SO good ❤
The Square Root of Summer was really good! We have a review coming for it at the end of the month. It’s weird and timey wimey.
Ohhh, I can’t wait!
Ooh yes to six of crows and the wrath and the dawn!! Also, the square root of summer looks really good, I want to read it soon hopefully 😉
Both of those books were so good. I am all grabby hands to get the sequels- it can’t come soon enough. The Square Roof of Summer was very interesting. It was the first noel I’ve ever read that tried to use math to explain time-travel.
I know!! The wait for the rose and the dagger is almost over though! Hmm math and time travel….okayyy. ;P
Contemporary fantasy? You’ve already sold it to me! Definitely adding A Matter of Fate and The Square Root of Summer onto my TBR 😀
Oh Man! I hope you like A Matter of Fate! It’s one of my all time favorite fantasy reads. And it’s great because is contemporary, which a lot of times fantasy tends to be futuristic or in it’s own world. Enjoy!!!
WOW! Some of my favourite books are on your list – Six of Crows, The Wrath and The Dawn – and some that I think I will need to add to my TBR. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Not a problem! What books are you thinking about adding to your TBR?
Under Different Stars and The Square Root of Summer 🙂
OoOoOoO! I hreally hope you like Under Different Stars. Amy Bartol is a great writer.
Totally agree about The Wrath and the Dawn and I have Six of Crows waiting for me on my shelf!
I took off work so i could read Six of Crows. I didn’t want any distractions. LOL
I love fantasy so I should definitely check out some of these 😀 Thanks for the recommendations! Happy reading! https://ireadboooks.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/top-ten-tuesday-audiobook-recommendations/
Great list! I just started reading more fantasy books, but haven’t read any of these on your list. I will need to check them out!
Thanks! I am a huge fantasy reader, as well as the sub genres in fantasy.
Can’t wait to get my hands on The Square Root of Summer. It sounds SO GOOD! Great Top Ten! 😀
My TTT.
The Square Root of Summer was very interesting and I couldn’t put it down!
Six of Crows is undoubtedly one of my favourite fantasy reads. Everything about it is intense and complex and I genuinely cannot predict what will happen in Crooked Kingdom. I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Queen of the Tearling but it sounds like a very intense book and I’ve got to be in the right frame of mind to read it but I definitely want to give it a shot. 😀
I didn’t find The Queen of the Tearling to be all that intense. I think the sequel was more intense. But The Queen of the Tearling was an interesting concept for a fantasy read.
I actually haven’t read any of these (which is surprising since I usually have read at least one book on fantasy recommendation lists), but Six of Crows is on my TBR, so hopefully I get to that soon.

Six of Crows is so good and usually ends up on every list I ever make. Read it before September when Crooked Kingdom is published!
I love most of these books and I’ll have to check out the rest!
There is a good variety. I try to mix it up because I can get tired of reading the same “subjects”.
Yeah, same here. It gets boring after a while.
