Happy Tuesday, people! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at That Artsy Reader Girl. And the topic this week is the first 10 books I reviewed. I’ve never really reviewed seriously before starting this blog. So here are the first 10 books I reviewed for this blog –
The first of a duology with a reincarnation twist. There were 3 primary characters who all made my heart all achy.
My Rating : ★★★★★
– – – – – – – – – – –
A friends-to-lovers romance with enough fluff and sweetness to give you diabetes. If you’re in mood for a light and cute romance, this is it for you.
My rating: ★★★☆☆
– – – – – – – – – – –
An atmospheric book that made me feel part of the world. At the center of it is a girl’s journey of self-discovery and the theme of family.
My rating: ★★★★★

Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels #10)
The finale to my favorite Urban Fantasy series. Kate Daniels remains at the top of my list of favorite badass heroines.
My Rating: ★★★★☆

An emotional conclusion to the beautiful story we saw start in Transcend. The 3 characters in this book are very close to my heart.
Interesting fact – The covers photos of both the books actually have a role to play in the book.
My Rating: ★★★★☆
– – – – – – – – – – –
A heavy read on two characters who are dealing with grief in different ways and connect through letters left on a graveyard. I feel that the depth of this book was plagued by some cliches. The romance was minimal too. But it’s got a beautiful message about how first impressions can be wrong.
My Rating: ★★★☆☆
– – – – – – – – – – –
A beautiful read about friendship, addiction, self harm, obesity, mental illness and the importance of self-love.
It is not an easy read. But it has some meaningful messages that I feel we all need in our lives.
My Rating: ★★★★☆

Josh & Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating
One of my all-time favorite friends-to-lovers romances. It’s got an amazingly quirky heroine who is not afraid to be herself. It’s also got a Korean hero. *Swoon*
Worth a read if you like friends-to-lovers trope.
My Rating: ★★★★☆

The Girl Made of Clay
A woman who has always had to look after herself is now now has an added responsibility to look after her estranged musician father after he is injured. Things are not all good with her pilot husband flying away frequently too. The father-daughter relationship was my favorite part of this book.
My Rating: ★★★☆☆

Sadie
Perhaps my favorite crime-suspense-mystery of last year. A very difficult read about a teenager on the run to find the man behind her younger sister’s death.
My Rating: ★★★★★
It was great revisiting the books I reviewed at the beginning of my blogging journey! ^_^
How much do you think you have evolved since starting the blog? When I looked back at my first reviews I had to giggle a little. I was so silly with my blog setup for reviews.

Oh, I’ve definitely evolved! But to be honest, I’m not content with my reviewing style even now. I have a feeling that in the future I’ll look back on my reviews I write now and find them silly too!

Sadie is such a good novel. I’ve always been curious about Letters to the Lost, but never got around to it.
