T10T: My Most Popular Beloved Books

February 19, 2019

TTT-Big2

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic was supposed to be about books we loved that have less than 2,000 GR ratings, but I do underrated faves lists from time to time and wanted to do something I hadn’t done before. I once did a post where I listed the most widely-read books on my TBR, so I thought I’d do a spin on that:
the most widely-read books I gave 4+ stars!

To figure out this list, I went to my Goodreads “read” shelf, sorted by number of ratings, and picked out the top 10 that I’d given 4+ stars.

I opted to only use 1 book per series, because otherwise, literally this entire list was going to be the Harry Potter series and Hunger Games trilogy. ?

Were you surprised by any of these? The only one that surprised me was Fangirl — I didn’t think it was that widely read!

    1. Unlike other books on lists this week, I’m very familiar with this list. It’s interesting to look at what you gave 5 stars!

    1. i was not expecting POBAW to be so high in comparison to SJM and clockwork prince!!! a lot of my GR friends have read ToG & clockwork prince so i imagined they had more ratings haha!

    1. I’ve read half of these… including Fangirl! I bought The Lunar Chronicles when it was on sale over Black Friday Weekend last year, but I haven’t read it yet.

      1. I hope you like TLC when you pick up the series! I feel like the first two books have some slow parts but they’re so worth it for book 3! Plus the whole series is honestly just overall really great ☺️

    1. cinder above tog?? that surprised me until i remembered how big its tumblr fandom was back in the day. i knew fangilr was a popular title but – again – more than tog and clockprince?? i’m shocked

    1. The only book that kinda surprised my on this list was the perks of being a wallflower haha, maybe because I have not read it myself ..

      1. Perks was one of my faves as a teen! Not sure how well it would hold up to a new reader today, sadly, but it was definitely a classic in its time. 🙂 Happy reading, and I hope you enjoy it if you ever do pick it up!

    1. I’m so proud to say that I have read every book on this list! In recent years I haven’t been able to say that so easily, but these books have all been out for a while, allowing me to get to them. And I’m so glad Fangirl is so widely read! It’s nice to know your favorite books are so well loved!

    1. I was surprised by Fangirl as well! The rest seemed right, though, from what I know of them. 🙂

    1. All of these books are SO GOOD and give me all kinds of feelings. Ugh! Great picks. I’m glad to see a different twist on this weeks topic! And now I want to reread like half of these but hahaha
