Today’s Top Ten Tuesday was Top 10 Books Too Good to Review Properly, so that’s what I’m doing!
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V.E. Schwab
This is so amazing and magical and is one of my favorite books of all time. It’s absolutely worth all of the hype that it’s gotten.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
If there’s any book on this list I probably could write a review of, it would be this one, but I still wouldn’t be able to explain what an absolute experience this book is. It’s wonderful and enthralling and Evelyn is so complex and it’s truly wonderful.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing & A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, by Hank Green
Hank Green is definitely 10x smarter than me. I don’t even know about how he came up with these books, but they are reflective and mind-bending and serve as a critique of modern internet culture in a way that only Hank Green can.
The Reading List, by Sara Nisha Adams
I can’t rave enough about this book. I don’t even know what to say, except that you absolutely need to read it if you remotely like books.
War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy
I don’t think anybody’s capable of reviewing War and Peace properly. It’s one of my favorite books ever, but the storyline is so vast and sweeping that it would be difficult to review even a section of it, much less the entire thing.
Anxious People, by Fredrik Backman
I honestly probably wouldn’t write a review of this even if I could, because it’s the sort of book where every detail is so carefully planned to be revealed at the exact perfect moment in the story that it’s really best to not know anything going in. It’s the sort of book that will heal you and restore your faith in humanity and it’s amazing.
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender, by Leslye Walton
This is a book that I would recommend to everybody. It’s magical and beautiful and whimsical.
On a Sunbeam, by Tillie Walden
This is a beautiful graphic novel space opera, and I absolutely adore it. It’s definitely my favorite graphic novel I’ve ever read, and I’d highly recommend it to everybody. It’s a non-linear storyline and I love it and I just couldn’t possibly begin to express how I feel about it.
The Illuminae Trilogy, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
These are science-fiction books that are told in the format of files and transcripts assembled for a legal case, which is already so cool. Everything about the formatting is so interesting and fundamental to the story and I’d honestly just recommend them for that aspect. The story itself is also amazing; I love each and every one of the characters, and it deals with so many questions about ethics and AI and it’s just such an extraordinary read.
The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
This is one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read, and I need the third book approximately three years ago. If you love fantasy, read it. If you like fantasy, read it. If you’re relatively ambivalent about fantasy, read it. It just might change your mind about that.
