Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books you're happy you didn't quit


This meme is hosted by Broke and Bookish. This week we're picking 10 books we struggled to get into but loved in the end. Share your list with me!

The Night Circus probably meant to talk in circles, to add to the mystery and intrigue of the Night Circus. Before I knew it, I loved every character like my very own. 

I didn't know what to expect with this book, and it took me a minute to grasp the setting, the plot. It had this sneaky way of grabbing a hold of my heart all at once without warning. It wasn't until it was over and I kept looking for pages that I realized how much I loved it. 


This story built on itself so damned beautifully, I look back in awe. 

I don't know why I put reading this book off for so long. It had this subtle sort of addiction to it. you think it's no big deal, until the you've stayed up all night, or finished the entire series. 

This book takes ordinary and makes it so beautiful. 

I kept wanting to quit. It was interesting while I read it, but when I stopped it was just so wordy. It took me a long time to finish this book and series, but when I was done, I was so enthralled and so firmly in their world. 

This book starts off slow but it so emotional.  I found myself loving it so much I read it again and found all these missed gems throughout.

  2. Night Circus is a book I've had in my TBR for a long time...in fact, I think I've gone through several copies, starting...stopping...giving away...buying again. I resolved to read it this year. I think I shall.

    1. Haha, I've actually purchased 3 copies. One I gave to a friend, but still wanted in my library so I bought another at Target. Then saw it at Goodwill for a dollar and really!!! What a steal. So I now have 2 copies. I plan to do a giveaway with it eventually.

    1. The Daughter of Smoke and Bone was a challenging read, haha which is why it's on this list. I saw Laini Taylor would be at a book festival which is what inspired me to read it. The end was so satisfying.

  5. The Night Circus I really struggled with, I just don't think it was my kind of thing.

  6. I have got to give A Daughter of Smoke and Bone another try! I think I just wasn't in the right mood for it. I think I'm the only one that hasn't finished it!
