Oh it's amazing how reviewing styles change over time!
ReplyDeleteCassandra Clare and sarah Maas are both authors I still need to try.
It took me a while to warm up to Maas, but I was addicted to Clare's books right away. Some of her series are better than others, but I would absolutely check her work out.
DeleteBrilliant list! :-) I can see a few books on here that I really enjoyed! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's fun to look back on old reviews
DeleteGreat list! I've still to read any of the ToG books.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT for this week.
I originally picked them up because I was trying to figure out recommended reads for fans of the series for work (I work in a library), but then I ended up reading them all, haha.
DeleteAh lots of Sarah J Maas! The first two books were quite early reviews for me too, though just outside of my first ten, I think they were 11 & 12.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/04/23/top-ten-tuesday-208/
I knew my first review was a Maas book, but I didn't realize how heavily populated it was with her work, haha.
DeleteI think it's cool you've reviewed so many classics! And I liked Never Let Me Go.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Thank you! I was actually a pretty big classics snob for a bit. Thankfully I've gotten over that now. I've been reading a lot of YA, and now I'm planning to go back to read some more classics because I miss them.
DeleteI remember when I used to read Sarah J Maas books... the memories.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel with your Twilight posts right now, haha
DeleteI liked ME BEFORE YOU, although I haven't watched the movie so I don't know how it compares. I also haven't read the sequel. Not sure why, just haven't.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

Well, feel free to check out my post (linked above) and it will tell you how things differ. I did really like the movie, and thought it did a good job. I read a little bit of the sequel, but it didn't feel quite right to me.
DeleteI haven't read any Sarah J Maas yet! I really need to fix that. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI have a love-hate relationship with them, but the later books in the Throne of Glass series were really enjoyable
DeleteLooks like you were reading straight through Sarah J. Maas's books! Those books are so long, I need some shorter books in between.
ReplyDeleteI was reading two 1000 page books in a row, and it was just too much. I need a few shorter ones now before I even think about looking at another long book
DeleteSo many of my favorites! Great list. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear! Thanks!
DeleteI recently got into Sarah J. Maas books, so I'll have to check them out!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear your opinions when you get a chance to read them!
DeleteYesss, I love how many SJM books are on this list! She's one of my fav author, tho I've weirdly only reviewed part of the TOG series (as in TAB, TOG, and DOT). Speaking of which, I still need to pick up KOA...I should (hopefully) be doing this within the next couple of days tho!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I'm still trying to decide if I want to pick up her other series...I keep hearing conflicting information! I hope you enjoy KOA!
