Top Ten Tuesday - Ten Book I Enjoyed Recently That Werent My Typical Genre

I wanted to alter this TTT to be about 10 books I have read that weren't like my usual or typical reads.



Cry Silent Tears by Joe Peters. Although this genre always interests me, I don't read this genre a lot, I often get inquisitive about the lives of others but not so often that I will emotionally wreck myself by reading the books about their experiences.

This was a really enjoyable read and Kathryn Rogers has become an author I will continue to look for work from because I loved this book so much. However it wasn't like my usual reads and it was refreshing for it to be that way.

Although I speak some German and continue to work on it, I would never usually read a book that is about the war, I'm not entirely sure why, it interests me and I think that and my part of knowing German made this book a nice one for me to read.

Now this book was thoroughly gripping and interesting, it would never usually be a book id read if it hadn't of sounded like Tate from AMHS. Along with that reason I think I was inquisitive about the way it would end and I don't regret reading it even though it isn't my usual topic or genre of book.

I think Risen being a different genre to my usual reads kind of encouraged me to read it even more than I already wanted to after reading the synopsis. I have to admit it was a better book than I had imaged it was going to be.

I love zombies and such like there's no tomorrow and I also loved the World War Z film more than the book but I think I wanted to compare the book to film and well they were nowhere near. It was hard for me to read but from what I understood, I liked it.

Well this book was certainly enjoyable for the most part, it wasn't something I would of usually read but I would totally read it all over again.

This book was spectacular, and unusual which attracted me. I'm thankful for Chloe and her friend for buying me this book and The Spooks Apprentice for my 16th birthday because they were enjoyable to read and I cant wait to read more.

I don't regret getting this book when it was less than £1, as much as it wasn't my usual genre and the 2nd book in a trilogy it was very gripping and I love it enough to look into to getting the first and third book.

The Sookie Stackhouse Series, ive recently just finished number 5 out of the 11 I own and I'm in love with them but I'm usually not reading this genre either, I'm really up to reading more fantasy genre'd books in the future though.

Hells Horizon by Darren Shan

Hell's Horizon is in fact the 2nd book of The City trilogy. Much like Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher, I haven't read the book that came before. I did however pick this book up from a store close to my sixth form while they were having a sale. This book could sell for £13 or in the range of £5-£8 but I was able to add it to my library for just 59p and what a buy it was.

Al Jeery is a loyal member of his personal guard but is relieved from his duties to investigate a murder. Al isn't a trained investigator but with time he gets the hang of it and just before he finds  the killer, another murder investigation makes its way to him on a even more personal level.

Along the way Al goes through hell and somehow made it through. I'd be reading the book all happy something I wished to happen was soon going to, only to find a shock in its place.

Darren Shan could easily of drowned us in swear words, but there was never any irrelevant use of bad language or an overkill.

For a book like this I can't go into extreme detail without ruining the whole book. However what I can say is, Al Jeery finds out secrets of the city and his past and I'm deffinetly going to try and get a hold of the first and third and final book.

I recommend no one under the age of 14 should read this book, anyone with a detective brain should read this and see if they can catch the kilĺer/s before Al does.
