Top Ten Tuesday #60 + Teaser Tuesday #21

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

It's so good to be back and doing these weekly memes! I missed them! Anyway, this week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Top 10 Books I'd Recommend to Someone Who Likes Character-Driven Stories. It was sorta a toughie, because I had to go back and think about old books I've read, and really analyze whether or not it was character-driven. For the most part, I like my choices.

  2. Aww... Ella Enchanted is a cute book. So very different from the movie, too... though I like both.

    1. I like both, too, surprisingly. Though I wish they would remake it and stick close to the book this time.

    1. STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS is a very interesting, very well written, very disturbing book. I honestly still don't know how I felt about it. JACKABY is amazing!!!!!!!

    1. Thanks! :) I almost forgot ELLA ENCHANTED myself. It's one of my favorite books, but somehow I always forget about it when I'm listing things.

  5. It's amazing! I know I'm a little bit alone in loving it as much as I do, but I personally thought it was one of the best fairy tale retellings I've read.
