Friday Favourites – Books That Were Recommended To You

This is hosted by Something of the Book who created this tag out of a love for lists. There are different topics for us all to be able to take part and you can find the prompts here. There isn’t a specific number of favourites so it’s entirely up to you how many you share. You can share your most or least favourites too!

So this weeks topic is books I was told that I would love and should read. While I was thinking about the books I have been recommended I realised that a lot of them were from my sisters, who basically told me to read it so they could fangirl with me!

So these are the books my sisters have recommended:

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare – they basically told me to read all the shadowhunter books because they knew I would love them. And I do, TID is definitely my favourite though!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I don’t usually read contemporary books but my sister kept insisting I would love it and you know what I really did! I’ve reread it three times since.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas – my sister was obsessed and so of course I had to see what the fuss was about lol

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi – another series my sister basically shoved in my face insisting I read it. I’ve read the first two so far and although I wasn’t a fan of the first book I did enjoy the second a lot more so I will be continuing it

Also thought I would share some that have been recommended by fellow book bloggers and just generally on bookstagram:

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty – I wasn’t sure whether I would like this book but @violettereads said it was amazing and if you know me well…you know that these books have been my obsession for the past year!

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon – another one I kept seeing on bookstagram and @fictiontea kept saying it’s amazing so I thought I would pick them up and I really loved it!

So these are some of my fave books that have been recommended to me!

Have you had a book recommended to you and completely fallen in love with it?
