10 Books We Still Need To Read

Posted on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 12:00 AM

Today, we thought it would be fun to list a few books that we really want to read but haven't yet, and to take it a step further, we are going to let you all decide which one we just HAVE to read first!




Christy's List



We Were Liars by E. Lockhart - I have been wanting to read this one FOREVER but I never actually got around to buying it.  But I recently won it from a giveaway from Actin Up With Books so once I receive it, I won't have any excuse.



The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd - I have had this one on my Kindle for such a long time that it's kind of embarrassing that I haven't read it yet.



Splintered by A.G. Howard - I have heard such amazing things about this series and I've had the first one on my shelf since it's release but I have yet to pick it up.



Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson - Once again, I've heard such amazing things about this book and I've had it on my shelf for at least a year but I still haven't read it yet.



The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken - I bought this Kindle book a while ago when it was on sale because I had heard some great things about the series but it's still sitting on my Kindle untouched.


Erica's list



Fifty Shades Freed by E L James - I have had this book for so long and have finished the second book awhile ago. I loved the first two and don't know why I haven't gotten to it, but I need to.



Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver - I finished the first book and loved it...I honestly can't say why I haven't gotten to this book. I have heard great things. Now, if it was the third book, I could understand because I know so many people were disappointed.



Chain Letter by Christopher Pike  - I started this book but never finished it. Not because it wasn't good, just I got way too busy and I am dying to finish it because it looks so good



YOLO by Lauren Myracle - I read the three books when I was younger and fell in love with it and the characters. The new edition to the series has been sitting on my shelf for some time and I really need to get to it and see what happens to the girls in college.



Divergent by Veronica Roth - I have heard so many great things about this series and I just need to get on to reading it. My friends have already read it (by borrowing MY books). That's sad. So, yes I definitely need to get on it. 


Now, it's your turn to tell us which book we just HAVE to read first!

Second Chance Summer is amazing! I don't usually ever cry while reading, but the story was so emotional and beautifully told. Splintered was also fantastic and has one of the better love triangles that I've read about. I still need to read We Were Liars, too. Ultimately, I think Second Chance Summer is the best book from your lists :)

Since Christy put Second Chance Summer on her list...it has definitely been moved to mine. I really want to read it now.

Thanks for helping us choose :)

Okay so. This is a hard choice! Actually, Christy's list is hard. Erica's I have already decided: Pandemic. Because I really liked it. I can't endorse Divergent as strongly, just because of Allegiant, and I HATED 50 Shades. I mean, the hate is real.

So, Christy's list: I did really enjoy The Darkest Minds, but the next two books were a little "meh" for me. I wasn't blown away by We Were Liars either. And, the other three are all books that I own and must read. Okay, I just decided: Madman's Daughter. Basically, I see very few reviews about it, and I would like to know what you think of it before I read it myself!

Basically, Erica gets to read my favorite of her choices, and Christy gets to be my book tester ;) Hope you enjoy whichever books you end up reading- and let us know! I am curious!

I have not read Divergent, but once I am caught up on my review reads...Divergent is where I am heading. I especially want to because I have yet to see the movie and I know Insurgent is coming out this year.

Thanks for stopping by!

Definitely pick up Divergent! Some jaw dropping scenes in that one. I've still got Delirium sitting on my shelf, have to get to that one myself... the list is ever growing!

I looooved Splintered and really liked The Madman's Daughter and Second Chance Summer, too!

I got The Darkest Minds and Never Fade awhile ago, so hopefully I'll get to both of these this year!

Christy had Second Chance Summer, but everyone seems to love it so it has now been added to my list as well :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I think you should definitely finish Divergent and Pandemonium! Some things you need to read yourself to determine how you'll feel! I didn't particularly hate Requiem but I can understand why people do. Lots of these I still need to read too like The Darkest Minds, Splintered and Second Chance Summer (heard this one's a bit of a tearjerker so definitely have some tissues on standby)!!

DIVERGENT... like all the way. I recently got into the Divergent series as well. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it because of all the hype but I was sadly mistaken. I'm totally obsessed with the series now and am going crazy with excitement for the next movie in the series to come out! Read Divergent... read <3

I still have to read The Darkest Minds (I have it from the library right now, actually), but you've gotta read Second Chance Summer and Splintered, Christy -so good! And, Erica, I hope you can read Divergent soon!

Mostly everyone has said Divergent as well, so I definitely will be reading that one next (once I finish my review reads).

Thanks for stopping by!

I loved YOLO!! It's a super quick read, so if you loved the first 3 books, you should fall right into that one. We Were Liars was... actually I don't know what to say about that book, but you should read it just because it's so different and everyone seems to have odd reactions to it :) And Chain Letter!!! Throwback to one of my favorite 90's authors!!!!!

I definitely loved the three other books. I have heard mixed reviews of YOLO...like it still didn't answer all your questions about the girls. Which, may be good cause then Myracle will right another :) (wishful thinking).

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, Christy made me want to read Second Chance Summer :) I will be getting to Divergent very soon!

Thanks for stopping by, Rachel :)

You've got some great reads ahead of you! The Darkest Minds is amazing - I just finished the third book in the trilogy recently and all three are fantastic dystopias. We Were Liars blew me away, and Pandemonium is a brilliant end to the Delirium series. Hope you enjoy all of these on your list :)

I'm going to go ahead and be the odd ball out and say I was not blown away by We Were Liars but Divergent is pretty fantastic. Whatever you read it will be great!
