Loved it after all

The Book List is a short and fun meme that allows you to share books with the blogosphere and make a list. Who doesn't love lists? It is hosted weekly by Rebecca at Lost in Books.
 I saw this at the adventures of cecelia bedelia and I love the topic.


1. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

It's not so much that I thought I'd hate it, I just wasn't personally interested in it.  But it is my husband's favorite book and when we started dating, I figured I should read it since he doesn't read a lot of fiction.  And if he was that interested in this book, I should give it a try.  And I loved it.  I think it is one of the most brilliant book ever written.



2. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Zombies?  Not my thing.  But it got such good reviews I reluctantly read it and was surprised by how much I liked it.  It was compelling and spooky.  The main character is still a little touch and go for me, but the book itself is one of the best zombie/YA books I've read.





3.  Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Another werewolf book, I thought.  But I needed something to listen to in the car.  So I picked up Shiver.  Wow.  This is one of the sweetest and most beautiful books.  I don't know if it was the narrators that conveyed the love and devotion the main characters felt, but every day I couldn't wait to get in the car to hear what happened next.
