Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week we will post a new Top Ten list. Everyone is welcome to join.
This week’s topic is:
Top 10 Top Ten Books I was Forced to Read
*These are in no particular order.
Some of these books I read because there was a certain amount of hype surrounding it. Yes I take hype as “being forced to read it.”
1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: This is one I was forced to read in school. It was sooooo good!
2. Macbeth by William Shakespeare: Witches? Oh yeah, it was good.
3. Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson: When I became interested in contemps with realistic issues, I was told to read this. And I mean from EVERYONE.
4. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson: This is another one that everyone requested for me to read.
5. Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan: I saw dozens of bloggers reading this and LOVING it and even though its not my usual go to read, I gave it a try.
6. I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga: I saw so many fans of horror reading and loving this, that I knew I had to read it.
7. Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I read the Percy Jackson series and found out I loved mythology. And then I started asking around for YA mythology and everyone all but beat this series down my throat.
8. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green: Every person ever read this book and loved it. I had to see what the fuss was about.
9. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Once upon a time I started reading it and I didn’t like it. I didn’t understand the hype behind it. But one of my friends said “Just make it to the games.” So I trudged through and I ended up loving it.
10. Divergent by Veronica Roth: I told people I don’t really like dystopians, and this one was recommended to me several times. I gave in and decided to give it a shot and in turn I really liked it.
The fault in our stars seems to be in everyone's list! Maybe I Should also have added divergent in this list…
THG and Divergent made my list as well, and they're among my favorites now. 🙂
Good list! I still have to read more Levithan, but I loved Will Grayson 🙂
Happy reading!

Second Chance Summer and Divergent were such good reads for me. The Fault in Our Stars and The Sky is Everywhere, are a little depressing for my taste. THG still on my TBR list. Great choices.
Here is My Top Ten Tuesday

Many of these are on my list to read because of all the hype as well 🙂 I consider it forcing as well because you know you'll get those reactions like "I can't believe you haven't read this yet" or "omg its so good, you HAVE to read it" lol
I looove your definition of hype. That's what got me to read Fifty Shades of Grey. And The Fault is our Stars for which I'm thankful. Thanks for stopping by.
I have read and love many of these! TFiOS, HG, The Sky is Everywhere are all favorites. I've heard wonderful things about Second Chance and I plan to read it soon.
