I read nothing on sunday. Another day procrastinating but I'am glad I got to the book I really wanted to read, Bottled Up. I loved it and finished it in 6 hours. I didn't get to read Gadget Girl that was on my tbr but I changed it to another graphic novel. I also didn't do twitter chats and comment (I'm so bad at that) but hopefully next time I will.

Bout of Books - Top Ten Recommendations

This giveaway is hosted by Trees of Reverie. Even though I suck, I tried to explain some of the books and why I choose them besides just saying I love them.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - A Funny Cute YA Comtemporary set in Paris.

Angelfall by Susan Ee - Angels has taken over the world. Penryn has to save her sister with the help of an Angel. Its face-paced with action. 

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilsen - Four Boys are recruited to become the prince that have disappeared years ago. 

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma - This story is about incest. I know thats weird but the way the story is written makes you want the siblings to be together. 

Golden Boy by Abigail Tarttelin - Max is Intersex. After something has happened to him, his life and his family changes. 

Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky - A transgender boy who starts to slowly open up and become who he really is. 

Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay - A retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Who doesn't love retelling?

The plot is amazing.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - If you love Sc-fi and games, you would love this.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han - Love Letters are sent out to different boys and crazy things happen.

Two Boys Kissing By David Levithan - The story of 6? boys dealing with being Gay in the world today. Its told in 3rd person and the writing is Beautiful.

Sorry for my crappy explanations, but trust me these books are really good if you like these kind of genres or if your not to read them.

What would be close favourites for book recommendations that didn’t make it onto your list? Since I could only put 10, I couldn't include these:

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor - I think everyone has read this book already, so I didn't bother to include it.

Wonder by R.J. Palacio - Another book where I think everyone had read it already.

Is there anything else that you’d like to mention about the books you’ve chosen to include on this list? THESE BOOKS ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE THEM!! I'M SO HAPPY I HAVE READ THEM AND HOPE YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY WHEN YOU DO. (If not thats still okay, lol)
