Top Ten Tuesday: Readalikes

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Before we start with the list, we wanted to celebrate just a bit! JUBB is getting close to 15,000 unique views, and we are pretty excited about that! So, in honor of this milestone, once we hit the magic number, we are going to host a giveaway. Among other prizes, there will be a $20 gift card to Amazon up for grabs. So be on the look out for the upcoming post with details on how to enter. And thanks for visiting!

This week's topic is to pick a popular book, and show another less well-known alternative that fans of the popular book might like as well.

This was way harder than I could have imagined! While the books chosen may not necessarily be considered popular, I did try to make sure and pick authors that have a pretty large fan base!



Marianne Stillings writes absolutely hilarious romance novels that still have the suspense and danger element to them. Fans of Lori Foster could easily devour Marianne Stillings' work and still be dying for more.  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________


    
Tris and Aria don't have all that much in common in the beginning, but throughout the book Aria starts to grow into someone Tris would definitely fight alongside. Perry and Four share quite a few similarities as well.   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________


 Teen girls who have to deal with the fact that they both can turn into dragons. There are a lot of similarities in both books, and if you loved one, it's almost certain you'll love the other.   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________


Angels on earth with crafty plans and life or death scenarios. If you liked Hush, Hush, there is a good chance you'll love A Beautiful Dark.   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

This one is a little funny for me to be recommending, as I wasn't actually a huge fan of Stardust as a book. However, I think these two books hold enough similarities, that if you loved Stardust, there is a more than fair chance that you will love Magonia as well.   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

  1. Was a Beautiful Dark kind of similar to Hush Hush? I had to stop reading it at the beginning.

    1. Haha, I remember how much you hated it! So much so that you gave your copy to me :p I think they are kind of similar, especially once you get to the sequels!

  2. Like you, I'm not a big fan of Stardust the book (loved the movie). Magonia is on my TBR and I'm hoping I like it better than Stardust. :)

    1. Magonia seriously blew me away! It's easily my favorite read of this year. It's not quite as funny/quirky as Stardust tried to be, but they do feel really similar.

    Check out my TTT.

  9. Love how you ladies put this topic together. I'm super curious to read Of Poseidon, so if I like it, I'll have to remember this recommendation. :) I did love the movie, Stardust, so reading Magonia might be a must. Thanks for visiting Dreaming Under the Same Moon, Allyson. :)

  12. I really enjoyed Hush, Hush - especially the first two novels so I'm adding A Beautiful Dark to my wishlist. I've been thinking about reading Half Blood for a while now - and now that you recommended it next to VA, I'll surely pick it up. :)
    Great list!
