Top Ten Most Unique Books I've Read

 

 

 

1. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

I love how Ransom Riggs added the old photographs in with the story giving it a creepy, haunting feel! (I REALLY need to read the second!)

 

2. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Mass

This book has an amazingly strong, female lead character that kicks some serious butt. She is an assassin that also puts on pretty dresses.  There's magic involved and it's just perfect! I love this book so much and highly recommend it! I can't wait to continue this series!

 

 

 

3. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

I've never quite read another series like this one, nor do I ever imagine I will. This is such a beautifully crafted series, full of magic and surprises. There's a reason this is in most people's favorite list... The story is extremely unique and stays with you long after you've finished.

 

4. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

This story appears extremely large at first, but after starting you realize that almost half of the story is in pictures (which are GORGEOUS, might I add). This is told almost as if it is a movie, showing scenes far away and then zooming in up close. This is so beautifully crafted and it made me so happy to read it. I loved the unique pictures of older movies as well as all of the drawings.

 

 

5. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

This may seem odd that I've added a fairytale RETELLING to a list of unique books, but if you've read this series you know why. Marissa Meyer has added so much to the fairytales that we all love. I love all of the Sci-Fi and the whole story has so many surprises! The 4th book, Winter, is one of my most anticipated reads for 2015.

 

6. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket

I read these growing up and they are very different than other children's books I read. Not just because it was rather depressing.. haha but the author has a very distinctive writing style and tone. I remembered reading this series as a child and feeling important. Children are treated as very intelligent human beings that can figure out anything if they just put their minds to it.

 

 

 7. The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien

Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, Men, Orcs.. this is an amazingly unique, fantasy series and it's definitely one of a kind. I've read through The Hobbit and LOTR series once, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen the movies.. Will always be amazing and one of my favorites!

 

8. The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis

So much magic, and wonderful adventures, and tests of bravery, and ah! So wonderful! I read this growing up and would love to reread them! I love that you can read this series by the series order or chronically! So neat! 

 

 

9. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

I read this while in Junior High School and fell in love. I love that we are reading through the eyes of this awkward teenage, that turns into this amazing princess governing a whole country. I loved the writing style and really connected to the characters! I love that Mia would even talk about the ACTUAL movies that were ACTUALLY getting made in real life. Like when she was talking about how she wished that she looked as good as the actress that played her! So funny! I really enjoyed get to grow up with Mia in these ten books while she goes through high school!

 

10. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Around 9 years ago, the first book of this series came out. This was the first dystopian series I've ever read. Although I've read many since then, this one really stands out to me. I could ACTUALLY see our world coming to this. We already treat pretty people different than ugly people as it is. I'm just in love with this series full of hoverboards and other high tech stuff and I highly recommend it!
