The topic this week at The Broke and the Bookish for Top Ten Tuesday:
Top Ten Books People Have Been Telling You That You MUST Read (whether because they think it's a "you" book or it's just been generally recommended so often)
Still Alice by Lisa Genova - I know everyone says this is a great book, but I just haven't managed to pick it up yet
Game of Thrones George R Martin - I can't watch the shows until I read these, right?
The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards - I missed the train when this book was everywhere.
The Mermaid's Singing by Val McDermid - recommended by a colleague who loves mysteries as well.
Rebus Mysteries by Ian Rankin - My parents read Rebus, and I do like mysteries, but some days, there are already so many mysteries to read, starting a new series is too much.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt - Jennyreads insisted that this was better than The Goldfinch, a book that annoyed me a lot, so I may give it a try, someday.
The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien- in the words of my cousin - Suck it up and read these!
Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen - a fun mystery series recc'd by a friend that I do plan to investigate
