Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Popular Books that Lived Up to the Hype

Posted July 31, 2018 by Angie in Features & Spotlights / 5 Comments

We all know hype can kill a book. For me hype can often kill any desire I have to read a popular book and other times it builds the book up to standards that can’t possibly be met and I end up picking out the flaws until I hate it. This list of books are the exception to the rule.

      I enjoyed Caraval, but Legendary is on a whole different level of awesomeness. Tella is a far more involved and interesting heroine.

  1. Loved, loved The Hate U Give!! And Legendary (and Caraval) too. I also read The Night Circus and Illuminae – and totally agree with you! Awesome list.
