Turn Off The TV & Take A Chance On This
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Every week they post a new topic/top ten list and invite everyone to share their own answers. I'm so obsessed with lists - so it makes perfect sense that I'd love this feature!
Since I love TV, I couldn't limit myself to just one show with ten books that correspond. Plus, that ended up being way too difficult. So, I decided to highlight SIX shows with an adult and young adult book for each!
Top Ten Books If You Like These TV Shows
1. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: freshman year of college | finding your way | not fitting in
2. Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham: New York | two guys | following your dreams
3. Open Road Summer by Emery Lord: friendship | Southern | real issues
4. Nowhere But Home by Liza Palmer: football | small town | family
5. The Luxe by Anna Godbersen: scandal | drama | society elite
6. No Angel by Penny Vincenzi: generational saga | romance | history
7. New Money by Lorraine Zago Rosenthal: inheritance | angst | drama
8. The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice: outsider to insider | wealth | gossip
9. Heist Society by Ally Carter: hijinks | disguises | around the world
10. The Negotiator by Dee Henderson: thriller | smart leading lady | demons from the past
11. If I Stay by Gayle Forman: life or death | accident | tragic but hopeful
12. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes: ethical medical issue | love story | tears
Gah!! I totally love this and you never cease to amaze me with your amazing talented graphics. Like holy crap, you put everyone to shame! AMAZING picks for Grey's Anatomy and I really need to read Open Road Summer...:)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh thanks chicky! I appreciate that, especially since you know I'm totally faking my graphic talents. haha!
DeleteI love how you have an adult version and a ya version! I got totally stuck on this week's post so I didn't end up doing it, but it's crazy awesome how everyone's posts are all so different and creative! I am feeling inspired now :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! Since I read so much adult and YA, I thought it would be fun to highlight books from both. I'm glad you liked that aspect! I originally tried to pick one show + ten books and found it impossible haha
DeleteNICE! I love Felicity and keep meaning to pick up Fangirl and Someday. I love Nowhere But Home, so now I'm thinking I need to try Friday Night Lights.
ReplyDeleteYay Felicity! I loved both Fangirl + Someday, so I totally support that reading decision. And YESSSSSS. Friday Night Lights is amazing.
DeleteMhmmm yes Alias, I approve. :D Ally Carter's books in general are perfect for Alias lovers in the YA genre. :D
ReplyDeleteOh yay :) I love finding other Alias fans!
DeleteAmazing. I love that you have an adult and YA version. Something for everyone. Great list :-) I can't wait to read Open Road Summer.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I love highlighting a variety of reads :) And yes, read Open Road Summer. It's awesome!
DeleteNice! You picked so many of my favorite shows! I picked Downton Abbey and also recommmended The Luxe (it's one of my favorite series). The fact that you recommend Open Road Summer for FNL makes me want to read it all the more now! I also love that you recommended YA and Adult picks! Great list!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Well, these are some of my favorites shows so you have great taste in TV :) Haha! And yes, I really love The Luxe series. Those were some of my first YA reads before I realized what "YA" really was - and I can't even remember how I first discovered them. And yes, Open Road Summer is one of my favorite reads this year. So good!
DeleteAwesome! I love Alias! I'm going to look into those books now. I like Felicity, and Friday Night Lights but I'm not a huge fan of them. And Gossip Girl got on my nerves very quick! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Hope you enjoy those books if you end up reading them! :)
DeleteBrilliant! I've never seen The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets on a TTT list before - it's one of my favourite books, ever. Did you read the kind of sequel, The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I feel like NO ONE has ever even heard about The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, so this has already become one of my favorite comments. And I didn't even KNOW there was a sequel so that had solidified this as one of my fave comments because I totally want to know that info. Adding it on Goodreads now!
DeleteI paired Nowhere But Home with FNL too - definitely a match made in heaven!
ReplyDeleteAGREEEEE! Gosh, I love that show and that book SO MUCH.
DeleteOh I like that you did both adult and YA! Definitely agree with you on Felicity and Fangirl - so many good things in common!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I had fun trying to come up with one of each :)
DeleteGreat list! I loved Friday Night Lights! I need to pick up those two books asap.
ReplyDeleteOh you definitely do! Nowhere But Home was a favorite from last year and Open Road Summer is one of my very favorites from this year!
DeleteI love that you did an adult and a ya option.
ReplyDeleteI love how you structured this post. I totally agree with your Fangirl and If I stay recommendations!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I was wondering if I was stretching it with If I Stay, so I'm glad you second it. :)
DeleteOk, now I have a few different items I might try...OR a few that I know to suggest to folks based on this! Thank you. I also love how you have this set up with adult and ya options. Happy reading.

Thanks Ange! I'm glad I gave you a few suggestions or things you could recommend to others :)
DeleteI love how you gave a YA and adult suggestion for each show! I love Grey's, so will have to check out those suggestions :) And on the flip-side, I really enjoyed the Luxe series, so maybe I should finally watch Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Christine! You know I love my adult and young adult :) And eeek I looooove Downton Abbey. I thought the very first episode was a little hard to get into, but I was hooked after that.
DeleteOh hey there Gossip Girl, one of my favorites! Actually Gossip Girl and Felicity are the only shows out of all of these that I've seen. I'm lacking! But I've read some of these books, so that's something!
ReplyDeleteA - YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS? You must remedy this. But yay for having read many of the books on here!
DeleteUm you did a fucking amazing job with this. That is all.
ReplyDeleteUm I basically love this comment with all my heart. That is all.
DeleteYour Top Ten Tuesday post this week looks AMAZING! I love that you featured quite a few of my favorite books EVER. My favorite has probably got to be the ones you picked out for Grey's Anatomy, because I feel like they're spot on!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexa! I had a lot of fun with this topic :) And yay for spotting some favorites! I'm SO glad you said that about Grey's because I was scared those two books might be a stretch.
