Top 10 Books Reviews

I am a complete bookaholic and have far too many favourite authors and books to be able to reduce them to a top ten. So I've decided to simply list my favourite book within each of the genres or sub-genres that I read. All these titles are on my 'keeper' shelf and although my general reading philosophy is 'So many books. so little time', I ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't say I'm a bookworm but once I find a book that interests me I can't put it down. So here are ten books I found extremely hard to put down (in no particular order). 1. P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern - I'm not really into love stories but had heard good things about this book so decided to give it a try anyway. After reading ...  Read the complete review

I adore to read, I love most books that I've tried, and very rarely don't finish a book once I've started it. So when I saw this review category I thought I'd have to have a go. So my top 10 books to read, these are in no particular order. 1) "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott - this is such an adorable story ...  Read the complete review

These are in no particular order, well, except number one which is the best thing I have ever read!! 1. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I am not normally a fan of King but my husband read these and said I just HAD to read them. He said they were more like fantasy than horror, so I thought I'd give them a go. They are fantastic - ...  Read the complete review

I love reading and these are my favourites that I have enjoyed over the years: 1. Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging -Louise Rennison This is a hilarious book that I have been rereading since about the age of 13. Its a laugh out loud, I love the story and all the sequels that have come out afterwards. Its a great book for ...  Read the complete review

Its not going to be easy to narrow this down to 10 as I love reading so much and I may realise later i've left some important book out! Please bear with me if I keep changing my mind, for this reason the books are in no particular order. I'm sure i've probably reviewed most of these so check out my reviews for more ...  Read the complete review

Okay, so here's my five scariest books. I have to admit that I have taken a bit of a liberty here, as you may have wanted to read about Stephen King, James Herbert, Thomas Harris et al. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you reader, but this opinion takes an alternative view of 'horror' and has some serious moments, some firmly tongue in cheek, and ...  Read the complete review

As my username suggests, I am a bookworm. It's a name I've had (amongst many!!) since school as I forever had my nose stuck in a book. I haven't changed much since then, although I don't read as much as I used to. I do love the power of words and the escapism that it provides and I'm forever asking people/reading reviews and generally seeking ...  Read the complete review

Fantasy fiction is possibly the fastest growing literary genre in the past 30 years. Mention fantasy fiction and most folks will think immediately of the works of Tolkien, and rightly so! Tolkien's epic adventure has touched the hearts and minds of millions, and perhaps done more for this genre of fiction than any other work. Yet ...  Read the complete review

I realise that making a list like this is a pointless endeavour - no set of preferences is ever definitive nor ever will be - but it's a fun thing to do nevertheless so what the hell. Over the last thirty years or so I've read and collected a great many books and as most seem to fall into just a few categories I'll list the appropriate categories ...  Read the complete review

Ohhh lets see now. I have a huge library of books to choose from, and a even BIGGER library upstairs of children's books! This may not be in 100% right order, but these are the 10 books I actually like. 1 Dark Demon ~ Christine Feehan A book based on Carpathians and vampires, this story relates to a new union in the ...  Read the complete review

I really struggled when trying to think of my top 10 books. At first loads sprung to mind, but it was trying to pick out those ones that just had that slight edge of any of the others that I had trouble with. And once I had my top 10 it was impossible trying to put them into any sort of order. In the end I chose 10 books that I thought that made a ...  Read the complete review

This is a tough list to do, because there will definitely be books that I’ve forgotten about and I’ll want to change it later on. 1. Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – Louis De Berniers The novel is set on the Greek Island of Cephalonia, and spans five decades starting in the 1930’s before the Italian occupation of the island. The ...  Read the complete review

I am a book nut and have only just noticed I can do a review and tell all of you exactly what my favourite books are so here it goes: ----- 10 – The Colour of Magic. The first Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett and to be honest considering I have only read this book in the series so far, Terry should feel ...  Read the complete review

Back in the dim and distant past, Malu suggested a list of a top 10 (+6) questions about what one reads - what genres, from where you get your books, and in what format one tends to enjoy books. I've answered these questions (in my usual somewhat verbose manner). So whilst this doesn't exactly list my top ten books...it DOES list some of my ...  Read the complete review

I love books, I want to be a librarian, or at least I should have been. Top Ten in no particular order: 1, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald - Lavish parties on Long Island Shore, Jay Gatsby and a gallant gentleman, I have lived in the wrong era, I have missed my time. Oh how I wish to go the parties, to live the life of his time. ...  Read the complete review

According to lots of people from my school, I am a bit weird because I like to read. Apparntly I can't go clubbing at weekends AND still enjoy reading a good book in the sixth form common room while everyone else plays a game of 'who can knock the bin over with a ball'. According to a few people, this makes me weird! Oh well, I love reading as ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved reading. I turn to books for many reasons - to escape, be informed, inspired, educated, entertained, find refuge. Mostly I read to lose myself. My personal top ten would be constantly changing depending on where I am in my life so I've just chosen ten books I love. PAPILLON (1970)- HENRI CHARRIERE I ...  Read the complete review

I noticed a few people seemed to be submitting opinions answering questions about their favourite books and sensed a challenge had been set somewhere! Not one to be left behind I tracked it down to Malu and, upon reading the questions, realised what a great idea this is!! So here goes, now I?ve just got to get round to the ?home town? ...  Read the complete review

To me reading is one of the wonders of life, an intimate communication between author and reader, each book has a different story or topic, to pass from the page to the eye to establish itself into your brain and filter through to your imagination. A book is a very powerful way of communication, magical words and letters can hold you captive ...  Read the complete review
