April 8th: Top Ten Most Unique Books I've Read

 *In no particular order!*



1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
(source)
I think this book is unique because it is a Sci-Fi Fairytale Retelling. Where the main character is a CYBORG. It is so unique. I haven't read a book quite like it. And I love the entire series a lot (You've probably heard me fangirling about it a lot before...) So if you haven't yet read this series, I really recommend you give it a change because it is AMAZING. And UNIQUE. :D

2. Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
(source)
Not only do I think that this book has an unique story, it has a lot of unique characters. Characters that I love so much and they all have unique, interesting names!

3. Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
(source)
I think this book is unique because before reading it, all the zombie books that I had read all had the main characters killing the zombies. Not this one. The main character IS the zombie. And this zombie falls in love. I thought the story was unique. And I love it a lot.

4. The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
(source)
I think this book is unique because I don't think I have read anything quite like it. It is a paranormal adventure. I think this book is awesome and amazing. 

5. Blood Red Road by Moira Young
(source)
I think this book is uniquely written. The dialect is different from other books that I have read. And I like that it is a Dystopian book that also includes a lot of action and ADVENTURE. 

6. The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
(source)
I find this book to be unique because at the end of the book I thought "Wow, I REALLY LOVE this book." I even told my friend that "I am in love with this book". And I haven't written my review for it because I am having a hard time forming words for how much I enjoyed reading this one. I think the story is unique and interesting.

7. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
(source)
I think this book is another uniquely written book. I haven't read it in years. But I don't think I've read a book quite like it. We find out the past and what happened in Hannah's life through tapes that she has recorded and passed on to people. 

8. Glass Houses by Rachel Caine
(source)
I found this book to be unique because I haven't read any other vampire books quite like it. The city is basically under vampire control. Most of the vampire books I have read involve them not being widely known about. And they don't control the entire town. 

9. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling
(source)
This book (well the whole series really) is unique to me because of how much I love it and the way it shaped my love of reading as a teenager. It is a unique story. And it holds a special place in my heart.

10. NIL by Lynne Matson
(source)
I find this book unique because I think the story is unique. The stuff that happens on the island is unique. The fact that they have a year to get off the island is interesting and unique. I think it is an awesome book and I really enjoyed reading it.

  1. Cinder and DoSaB made my lists too! I think Marissa Meyer is the queen of retellings. I love that she turned the fairy tales into SciFi instead of Fantasy novels!
    Blood Red Road has been on my TBR for quite some time and I'm really curious about the writing style but I wanted to wait until the series is complete before I start it.

    1. I agree! She is fantastic! Yay, you'll be able to read it soon, since the last book is coming out next month. I am so excited to read it! Thanks for stopping by!

  2. You've picked some good ones! Warm Bodies was such a bizarre but hilarious read (and I loved the movie even more)! I've got a copy of Blood Red Road, but have I read it yet? Of course not! Haha. I'm so far behind on my to-read list. It's pathetic.

    1. Thanks Alex! I know, Warm Bodies was funny. I really enjoyed reading it. (I like the movie too!) I can't wait until Isaac comes out with the next book! I'm really behind on my TBR list too...but that is because it is basically never-ending. I don't think I will ever be done.

  3. This is a great list! Cinder and Thirteen Reasons Why are on my to-read list - they both sound so good! Daughter of Smoke and Bone was so different. I need to finish that series.

    1. Thank you! I love, love, love Cinder and all of the Lunar Chronicle books. I highly recommend it! I am looking forward to finishing the DoSaB series too. My copy of Dreams of Gods & Monsters will get here tomorrow I think! :D

  4. I've read Blood Red Road, Harry Potter, Glass Houses and Thirteen Reasons Why of these and I'm currently reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone! They're all great books and I'm really enjoying Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
