TGIF is  a Friday meme hosted by Ginger at Greads. She always has the best questions.


Today’s Question:


Unexpected Books: Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?

Answer:
Some of my favorite books I wouldn’t have read had someone not “book bully” me into reading them.
Here are my top 3:


I was twelve, in puppy love, and had refused to read these books for years beforehand. The boy I was swooning over was a huge fan of this series and I wanted to relate to him so I picked it up.
I'm so glad I did. I mean seriously, what kind of childhood would I have had without Harry? A much worse one that's for sure!





This book wins the cake on one of the top worst covers and as such I put off reading this book for so long.
Don't judge a book by it's cover is a great sentiment for this one! The contents are full of wonderful folklore, relatable characters, and an action filled plot.






I read the blurb on this around the same time it came out, but had it not been for Harmony over at Radiant Reads gushing about this book I would have never picked it up.
Such a fabulous book!

I'm a wife, student, and a dog-lover who reads when I should be folding laundry (bane of my existance), I write (rarely as academic papers consume my life), and love getting wrapped up in fiction.

  1. It's Harry Potter for the win! He's on my list too, but I was a little (okay, a lot) older than you when I started reading them. And I'm still a lot older than you :) Here's my TGIF

  2. Haha, I had the same with Harry Potter, apart from the boy part ;). I didn't want to read it, because everybody else did. I was a stubborn ten-year-old. Until I saw the first movie!
