Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We’d love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join. If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!
This week's Top Ten is "Recommendations for People Who Don't Read X." I read just about everything now. I have become an equal opportunity reader.
For People Who Don't Read SciFi
1. Have Spacesuit-Will Travel by Robert Heinlein -- It's not heavy on the science, but a great quick read.
2. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card -- Amazing story of humanity set in a scifi world.
For People Who Don't Read Romance
3. Any Jill Mansell books -- I love her quirky characters and storylines. They are fairly predictable, but very enjoyable reads.
4. At the Scent of Water by Linda Nichols -- It's a beautiful love story through a couple's grief and journey back to each other. I was alternately happy and in tears throughout this book.
For People Who Don't Read Fantasy
5. The Parasol Protectorate Series by Gail Carriger -- Sure, it's got vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, and it's set in a world not quite like ours. But it's hilarious and full of adventure. I love Alexia!
6. Fables comic series by Bill Willingham -- Think adult fairy tales, but better. It's not secret I love this series. Now I'm on a mission to convert everyone!
For People Who Don't Read YA
7. Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan -- Not just for kids, my 8-year-old boys and I loved this series! All of the action and adventure kept them riveted. And all the Greek mythology kept the historian in me interested. We loved the series so much, the boys begged me to get the start of the second series so we could read it over Christmas break. We're 75 pages into The Lost Hero and loving it!
8. The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry -- If you like fairy tales or princesses, this one might work. I love the coming of age story and the world of kings and queens.
For People Who Don't Read Horror
9. The Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan -- I loved this zombie trilogy. The zombies are there, but they're an ever present threat more in the background. These books focus on the survival and dreams of a few. Plus, there's not much gore in these.
10. Autumn series by David Moody -- If you might like a bit more gore, go for these amazing zombie books. They are way scary! Even I was unsettled after reading them. But they are beautifully written and intriguing.
