Top Five Series I Recommend!

       Good day, Book Lovelies! Instead of a normal book review, I will be posting recommendations every Wednesday from here on out. In today's post, I will be recommending the top five series that I absolutely loved and could not get enough of. This list is made up of a variety of genres. So, sit back with a cup of tea or coffee and let's get started~


5.) The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare:

     I HIGHLY recommend the City of Bones to any book lover who is searching for a romance filled and action-packed series. I have just recently finished the first book of this series, which makes me late to the Shadowhunter train, I know. BUT I absolutely loved it and couldn't resist the urge to purchase the rest of the series two days later. In this book, you follow Clary, an average teenage girl who get's caught up with the Shadowhunters. Shadowhunters hunt demons and Clary needs their help to save her mother after she has been kidnapped. She discovers shocking truths along the journey while getting to know the shadowhunter, Jase. Again, this book is so good and I will definitely be reading the rest of the book VERY. SOON. 


4.) The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon:

    If any book reader is looking for a series about time travel, romance, and Scotland then DEFINITELY read The Outlander. It was an intimidating read, but boy was it amazing. I absolutely fell in love with the main protagonist Claire Randall, a combat nurse who lives in the year 1945 then is somehow sent back in time to 1743. Here, she meets Jamie Fraser, a handsome Scottish warrior. As you read Outlander, you get to see the relationship between Claire and Jamie transform into something beautiful. Their love story has become one of my favorites. The history in this book was so intriguing and the writing stayed amazing throughout the rest of the books as well. I never got bored while reading this book and if you're a big fan of romance and passion, read Outlander. 

3.) The Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi

   I honestly do not know how to put my love for this book into words. I have probably read this trilogy six times and I will continue to read this book over and over and over and OVER and OVER AGAIN. Not only is the cover gorgeous, but the plot is so different from other dystopian novels. The main protagonists, Juliette, was born with a touch that can kill. She has been imprisoned , but is summoned by the Reestablishment to be used as a weapon. Throughout each book, the reader can really see Juliette grow and learn more about herself. She starts out as a scared young girl, but then soon realizes her full potential, becoming courageous throughout the process. I also really appreciated this series because if you look at all the book covers, they are all similar in some way. Read The Shatter Me series!


2.) The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth:

I have read this book ten times. No joke. The Divergent series opened a doorway to my extreme obsession with collecting and reading books. It really sparked my interest in the dystopian and YA novels as well. In Divergent, there are five factions; Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Our main protagonists, Tris, lives in Abnegation where she has been taught to be selfless her whole life. Now that she is old enough, Tris has to choose if she wants to stay in Abnegation with her family or leave and join a new faction. When Tris join Dauntless, the faction of the brave, she begins to discover secrets that could save her in the future. Tris has to undergo an initiation process that contains difficult psychological simulations and trying physical tests. We are also introduced to Four, the trainer of the new initiates to Dauntless. I LOVE his character so... SO MUCH. I mean, everyone loves Four, come on. Anyways, I recommend this series to every any reader because of it's amazing plot and it's variety of characters. 


1.) The Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Mass

    I was blown away by Throne of Glass series. Not only is it amazing, but it's captivating as well. I mean, a book about assassins, romance, mystery, and magic? Yes, PL-EASE. I really appreciated the way Sarah J. Mass wrote out the main protagonists, Celaena Sardothien. Her character is what made the book. Celaena is a strong, stubborn, and quick witted assassin that has been imprisoned, but is now called upon by the Crown Prince. To regain her freedom, she must perform in a competition that involves thieves and criminals from all around the land. She is to be protected by the Captain of the Guard, Chaol, who is probably her least biggest fan. Suddenly, all her competitors start dying mysteriously and Celaena realizes that something awful is inside the castle. After I finished the first book, I decided that when I grow up, I'll become Celaena Sardothien. The plot twists, characters, and relationships had me fangirling by the second chapter. This series is simply amazing because it never loses its magic throughout the following books. I recommend this to readers who are looking for a series that is full of action, romance, mystery, and magic. Apparently, there is a possibility that the Throne of Glass series will be turned into a TV show! Hopefully, they don't ruin it, but if you haven't read these books, I suggest you read them before you watch the TV show.


    That is all my recommendation for today! Did you agree with the ranks of these books? What are your top five series that you loved. Hope you all enjoyed Recommendation Wednesday and happy reading!
