Top Ten Tuesday #56 + Teaser Tuesday #17

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


It's time for another Top Ten Tuesday! And this week's topic is: Top 10 Books I'd Give to a Reader Who Has Never Read Fantasy. This should be fun!




Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading


- Grab the book you're currently reading.
- Flip to a random page.
- Share two teaser sentences from that page!
I close my eyes and concentrate on Ann's heavy, congested breathing, willing my mind to stay blank. "Sarah Rees-Toome and Mary Dowd. Wherever you are in this world, show yourselves. You are welcome here."
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (pg. 172-173)

    I really like Bray's writing... this series was especially good. :) And good choices for the top ten!

      This is my second Libba Bray novel, and I have to say that I really like her writing style, too. I'm really enjoying this book so far.

    I read the first one in Bray's series, but I haven't continued.

      I have all three, and I'm liking the first one enough that I probably will. And post reviews, of course. :)

    I really enjoyed this series when I read it! It's been quite a while, but I still think it was so original. Libba Bray is awesome!

      I'm almost done with it, Sandra, and it's looking to be in the 3 to 4 strawberry rating. :)

      I hope you enjoy it, Missie! While most of the characters drove me up a wall, I did really love the concept and the world building.

    I've only read 4/10, but it looks like you have a nice range of fantasy choices in there. Great list!

      I totally forgot to add THE GRISHA trilogy; that is another amazing fantasy series.
