Top 10 Books I'd Recommend



Top 10 Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week's topic is: Top 10 Books I'd Recommend. 
 
Apparently a lot of people are nervous about recommending books to other people. Me, not so much. I like what I like. I realize that others might not. It is what it is. Obviously, I hope they enjoy whatever book I recommend, but it's no big deal if they don't. It happens. Because of that, I had a hard time narrowing down my top recommendations. However, I only ended up getting it down to about 15ish. I broke them down into three categories.
 
Here are my top paranormal fiction books that I've recommended...

 

1) Harry Potter - One of the best series ever!
2) Twilight - Because I love it. Hate if you want.
3) The Mortal Instruments & The Infernal Devices - You have to recommend these together and that they are read in order of publication, even though that means criss-crossing the series.
4) Vampire Academy & Bloodlines - Again, these two series must be recommended together. Love Richelle Mead. Love Rose. Love Dimitri. Love Sydney...Ok must stop because I could keep going.
 
My top contemporary or emotional fiction...don't need to add anything to these...


 
5) Pushing the Limits
6) Slammed & Point of Retreat
7) Hopeless
8) The Sea of Tranquility
9) Back to You
10) The Fault in Our Stars

My top self-help recommendations....


 
11) The Power of a Praying Woman - Single-handedly changed my prayer life.
12) The Power of Prayer to Change Your Marriage - Who doesn't want a better marriage?
13) Made to Crave - Changed the way I think about food in relationship to God.
14) Crazy Love - Challenging
15) Boundaries - Changed the way I think about relationships with other people.
16) 48 Days to the Work You Love - Helped me get a job that fit more in line with what I want out of work.

That's the top 16 books I recommend to others. What are you top recommendations? Let me know!
