Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I was tempted to list more than ten still ended up with eleven. Goodness knows there are a number of books I loved but are not as popular or as mainstream.

Cassie Scot: Paranormal Detective by Christine Amsden

Cassie Scot is as out of place in the paranormal world as a squib in the HP wizarding world. But it didn't stop her from opening a paranormal detective agency and dealing with unruly supernaturals. Review

Chosen by Kristen Day

I read all three books of the series in one day. I think I finished the third in the early hours of the next day. Worth it.

Spirit's Princess by Esther M. Friesner

Who wouldn't want to read about Himiko, the priestess-queen of the Land of Wa well before the formation of Nihon? Especially when you're a Japan major??? Review

Graevale by Lynette Noni

Niyx!!! My heart!! I cannot.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dragon Age: The World of Thedas by David Gaider and Mike Laidlaw

Yes, give me supplementary reading material to add to my knowledge of the rich world of Dragon Age. Yes, it's beside me when I write fanfiction because either I want to set in the established parameters or I'm going to smash all canon.

Cheating Death by April White

Guys. Guys! GUYS!!! Why are you still not reading this series?? WHY? Review

Strange Sweet Song by Adi Rule

I still can't decide whether it was a good king of weird or not. I gave it five stars. Also, for some unfathomable reason, I kept singing Kaze no Uta, whenever I took a break from reading. Review
The Moon Key by J.R. Stampfl

Way before Dumplin', there was The Moon Key. I categorize it as middle grade and it helped me when I struggled through some patch in high school.
Butterfly Swords by Jeannie Lin

BAMF princess wields two swords. TWO! I love that this book touched on the fact that China did have contacts with the West and there were blonde, blue-eyed foreigners way before the Yuan dynasty of the Mongol rule. Review
The Iron Sword by Jocelyn A. Fox

I had not been this excited with the fae since The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa.
Seers of Light by Jennifer DeLucy

I tried to cast waaayyy back into my memories as to why I loved this book. *shrugs* Probably because of this quote:

Kiss me goodbye now. And make it impressive. I have issues with my short term memory.
