This week's Top Ten Tuesday is:
Top Ten Books I'd Recommend to My Best Friend*
* based on the fact that if the book was the first of a series, they would willingly read the entire series and not just the first book because you have to read them allllll!
This is an eclectic list (all YA) -- ranging from contemporary to dystopian to sci-fi to time travel to historical fiction. I basically chose books that entertained me and/or stuck with me long after I'd read them. (Books with ** are recommended for mature YA audiences only -- if you'd like to know why I have rated them that way, feel free to ask!)
1) Hourglass

10) Jellicoe Road **

Bonus pick:
11) Tamar: A Novel of Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal **
This book really, REALLY stuck with me. If you liked Code Name Verity (or enjoy reading historical fiction from the WWII era, in general), you will probably like Tamar. It's by another Australian author (like Melina Merchetta of Jellicoe Road, above) and I was kept guessing as to the true story of Tamar pretty much the entire time. It still comes to me from time to time (I read it last March) and I'm just like, Whoa. So yeah. Here's one more I plan to eventually own and I just *had* to put it on my list as well. :)
