Top ten books it feels like everyone has read but me:
1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Yes, I am very, very, very ashamed of this one – and I have it downloaded on my kindle and waiting to go – I think it might be one of those ones I give my full attention to when I go on holiday next week. It’s one of those I swear I should have read in school, but it wasn’t ever one I got given in my classes.
2. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I have to admit, I’m only just getting over my fear of anything vampire related boring me to tears after a certain book. Just saying. However, I will borrow these from my housemate soon.
3. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I haven’t read this – I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews, and it’s sat sadly in my Amazon wish list, and I just haven’t got there yet.
4. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Anyone who read my IMM earlier this week will know that I managed to pick up a copy of this from a local charity shop, so I will definitely be reading this soon!
5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I know, I should be ashamed of this too.
6. The Iron Fey series by Julia Kagawa. Yes, I know I’ve gone on about how much I want to read this before, and I promise I seriously still do, but again, I just haven’t got there yet!
7. Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. So many people I know love this author, and I’ve seen fantastic reviews, but I haven’t read it.
8. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I got informed by a friend the other day that I’m failing at being female by not having read this. I don't think it's that big a deal, but still. I’ve seen the movie of course, but I’ve never read the book.
9. Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. Again, there’s so much love for this online, and I have no idea why I haven’t read it yet.
10. Jayne Eyre by Emily Bronte. Again, I’m very ashamed, and I’m sure I should have read this in secondary school.
So, what are your TTT listings this week?

I'd definitely say you will like Hunger Games and Anna. Neither is a long read. Put these at the top of your list!
My post is Top Ten Books I Feel As Though Everyone Has Read But Me. I'd love to have you sign up for my contest to win a $25 Amazon giftcard this month at my blog!
Jane Eyre is my all time favorite classic and I have actually read it more than once; however, I have yet to read Pride and Prejudice so we have something in common there.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post! Well, we for sure have a very similar list :) It's good to know I am not alone in my lack of reading certain paranormal titles! I have to say though, Pride & Prejudice really is lovely. And watching the adaptations with either Colin Firth or Matthew Mcfayden are not too shabby either ;)
Anna and the French Kiss was a good read. But definitely read The Hunger Games! It's really an amazing series overall.
Vampire Academy definitely isn't your regular vampire series. I think you'll enjoy them - they're different to anything else I've read!

We have a few books in common on our top tens. And dont be ashamed, I've actually found more people than you think who havent read the hunger games including myself.

I haven't read half of these books either. I'd definitely recommend picking up Anna and the French Kiss and The Hunger Games. Both are really awesome books and totally different from one another. Hope you get a chance to read some of these books!

It's safe to say that you won't be disappointed by ANNA or Jellicoe Road. :D
I have actually read some of these, but a lot are still on my list, too. Hunger Games are excellent, I've read Iron King so far in the Iron Fey and loved it, loved Paranormalcy (just read it this month), you're not missing out by not reading The Notebook in my opinion - the movie is amazing but the book was really disappointing. And yeah, looks like basically all the others are on my TBR list, so we're in the same boat!
So glad you've joined the October paranormal reading challenge, it's great to have you! :-)
