Omg, I absolutely love the cover of This Adventure Ends! Gorgeous!
I do too! It’s one of my favorites. And the actual book itself is really good, too!
Great list Stephanie! Many of the things that you’ve listed draw me to a book as well. 🙂
Thanks! Great minds think alike 🙂
Yes! Fake relationships always get me too! Great list 🙂
I loooove fake relationship! Thanks!
All of these! I LOVED seeing unreliable narrator, though. I loves those, too!
My TTT.
I love how twisty things get when the narrator is unreliable! I need to read more of them. But it’s kind of hard because I don’t want to know going in that there’s an unreliable narrator, I want to be surprised.
You need to read The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. The narrator says right away she’s unreliable, but it doesn’t matter.
I got it once from the library but I was kind of in a book funk then so i didn’t get to it before it expired. I’ll definitely check it out again!
Hahaha…I love your number 10. I would have Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher there. I knew what your number one was gonna be. 🙂 This is a great list!!
Haha you know me well. And I will read anything Pierce Brown wants to write!
I’m definitely one for falling in love with appealing covers, as well as books that have unreliable narrators. There are some books on this list that I’m going to have to check out!
I hope you find one you enjoy! I try not to judge a book by it’s cover, but it’s definitely been the sole reason I’ve picked up a few.
Pierce Brown is definitely a must read for me now as well. I’m still hung-up about the Red Rising Trilogy and I finished it nearly a year ago! Can’t wait for the spin-off (though now we have to wait longer -.-)
Also, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who likes multiple 1st person POV! So many people dislike multiple narrators but I just love the depth it brings to the story!
I know, I am so bummed about how long we have to wait for Iron Gold! I’m sure it will be worth it, though. And Multiple 1st Person POV is my favorite – but not everyone can pull it off.
So true about the POVs. I’ve read a few that just fail to deliver….
Oh, I should have added “unreliable narrator” to my list this week! Great list!
Thanks! I love how unreliable narrators always surprise me!
Yes! Fake relationships and friendships-to-love are always winners with me 🙂
They’re always so fun!
