Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, bloggers get a topic which entails giving a list of ten things based on the topic.
This is today’s topic: Ten Books You’d Buy Right This Second If Someone Handed You A Fully Loaded Gift Card
I haven’t bought any news books since April . This is mainly because I am trying to get through my ARCs from NetGalley and also read some of the books on my TBR before adding new ones. However, if someone handed me a fully loaded gift card, I would probably hug them then run down the street to my favorite bookshop. Here are some of the books that I would get with gift card.
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
I requested this book on NetGalley but my request was denied. I still want to read it though so this would be my first purchase.
I haven’t been able to get the next two books from my usual street vendors and I have been searching for them since I read Anna and the French Kiss. I really want to read them though I know buying new copies would be crazy expensive in my city.
Lola and the Boy Next Door and Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Yeah I know…everyone is tired of hearing me talk about this book. It is my favorite book though but I only have the eBook. I wish to get my own copy and then frame it…no that would be weird…would it? I really want to get my own copy of the book though.
The rest are books that I have heard so much about and wish to read someday….
- My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
- The Summer that Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniels
- Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
- We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo
- Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Finally, I have never read any fantasy novels but with my fully loaded gift card, I would get the Harry Porter series. Everyone seems to love this series but I have never read it and have never thought of buying it since I am not sure how I would feel about the genre. This is a risk that I would be willing to take with the fully loaded gift card!
Have you read any of the books on my list? Do you think they are good enough for me to spend my gift card on? Or should I just get other books instead? Let me know what you think. By the way, if you participated in today’s Top Ten Tuesday, share the link to your post and I will visit you and see how you plan on using your fully loaded gift card.
A Haven for Book Lovers 
I read all the HP series books. While people make lines to get new Apple products, I made lines to get the new JK Rowling book and devoured them in one sitting haha! 😛
lol now I really need to get those books! I have always wondered why they have so many devoted readers. I guess its time to find out 🙂
Yup! It’s about time 😉 you find out hehe
Definitely read Harry Potter!!!!!!!
I’ve not read the Book Thief yet, but it’s been on my sight for so long. I really need to get it soon. But my local bookstore sell the paperback version a little more expensive than other paperbacks and it’s been putting me off. I guess I just need to swallow the difference to get it since everything I’ve heard about it tells me that it’s awesome.
Oh The Book Thief is totally worthy it. I promise you, its such a great read. I hope that you will manage to get it and read it soon and then perhaps watch the movie if you are able to. I will definitely read Harry Porter, I have to find out why its that popular:-)
I shall do that 🙂 I’ve been putting off watching the movie until I read the book. I feel things are better experienced that way.
I am not a big HP lover but the Book Thief is in my wish list. I am probably one of the few who have not read it. 🙂
I hope that you will get to read it soon and enjoy it as much as I did. I think that The Book Thief is one of the best books ever. Thanks for stopping by:-)
My Life Next Door and Rebel of the Sands are really, really good books! Hope you get to read them 😀
Thanks Jinan. I hope to get them soon. Thanks a lot.
Lola is so good!! I have been wanting to read The Book Thief as well! The movie was ao good.
The Book Thief is really good. I loved both the book and the movie. Hopefully you will get the book soon.I will continue looking for Lola:-)
Great list! The Woman in Cabin 10 is on my list as well 🙂
Thanks Suzanne. I hope that we will both get the book soon. I have heard that its quite an interesting read.
Yes, read Harry Potter!!!! They will change your life! 😀 Lola is awesome too.

Thanks Lori. I will definitely get HP even without the gift card 🙂 Heading over to your post now.
*Covering my ears because of the fact you haven’t bought the HP series yet. LOL. well i do sincerely hope you get a chance to read them soon! I actually put Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on my list this week!
Happy reading! and props to you on holding out on buying books for so long! everytime i say i’m going to do that so I can catch up on the books I already own, i never last long! LOL.
Emily @ http://www.rabbitholereviews.com
Thanks Emily and I certainly have to read HP now 🙂 I will get the series soon. As for the book buying ban, I thank/blame NetGalley for that. I got so many ARCs that I just have to read so no time for anything else:
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your link. I am on my way to your post now. Happy reading!
Definitely give Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor a try. It’s mesmerizing.
Thank you. I will try and get a copy soon. I have heard great things about it and its setting is unique too. Thanks for stopping by. Happy reading 🙂
Have you seen the new anniversary copy of The Book Thief? Its so stunning its at the top of my list this week.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I didn’t even know about the 10th anniversary or any new editions. I hope that I will be able to get it. Happy reading.
Great list! Rebel of the Sands is on my list as well, the cover is soo pretty! You should definitely pick up the Harry Potter series, I think you’ll enjoy it a lot!
Thanks you. I am already on a quest to find all the HP books as soon as possible and read them. I hope to enjoy them too. I agree about Rebel of the Sands cover, that is one of the things that got me interested in the book. Thanks for stopping by, heading over to your post now:-)
Wow! Super list! Isla and Lola & Summer I’ve been interested in. I’ll have a look at some of the others.
Thanks for stopping by.and for reading my post. I hope to get the books soon especially after all the wonderful reviews. Happy reading:-)
I love Laini Taylor and basically all the HP books, haven’t read any of the Stephanie Perkins books but I’d love too!
I have only read one of the Perkins books and it was really good. I hope that the others are just as good. You should check them out if you get a chance.Thanks for stopping by. Happy reading:-)
I just got the Woman in Cabin 10 from my library and am loving it. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Oh lucky you. I wish my library had it too. Glad to hear that you are enjoying it. I do hope to get a copy soon. Thanks for stopping by:-)
Great picks! I did buy The Book Thief and Rebel of the Sands earlier in the year. I highly recommend the Harry Potter series!
Thanks a lot. After all the recommendations, I definitely have to get HP series for myself now. I hope to also buy the other two books soon. Thanks for the comment. Happy reading.
Yay for Lola and Isla’s books! I’ve zero doubt they’ll be amazing reads (loved Anna’s story). Hope you can find them soon.
Thanks Rissi, I will double my efforts in looking for them now. Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
No books bought since April? That’s amazing, you deserve a round of applause! No one can talk about the brilliance that is The Book Thief enough. I hope when you’re book buying ban ends, you allow yourself a little treat in the form of this one. Happy Tuesday!
Thanks Alicia and yes, I am now on a quest to find The Book Thief. I have just heard about the 10th anniversary edition, I guess that will be the best one to get. Thanks for stopping by. Happy reading:-)
You have a lot of great books on this list! I hope you find those Stephanie Perkins books soon! I loved them more than I liked Anna.

Oh wow, glad to hear that you liked them that much. I can’t wait to get them too especially because I liked Anna so much. Heading over to your post now. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I have heard so many good things about Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I haven’t read it but I always loved the covers.
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Yeah that cover is nice, I have heard that the location is unique too. I hope to read it someday. Thanks for stopping by. Heading over to your post now.
Hahaha that meme in the beginning! I’ve seen it before and absolutely love it hahaha
haha yeah its awesome and so true for most readers 🙂
Ooooh great list!! I’ve read most of the books on your list and they’re awesome 😀 Stephanie Perkins’ all books are worth owning, especially Isla because it’s sooo adorable and I re-read it like 10 times already 😛 also, Daughters of Smoke and Bone trilogy has great covers and they make my shelves look pretty, you HAVE TO OWN THEM 😛
Your comment has made me more determined to get all of those books especially Isla(10 times?) and Daughters of Smoke and Bone. Thank you so much for the recommendation. Happy reading.
It might be an exaggeration but probably not, because I’m pretty sure I had most the lines memorized hahaha 😛
I can vouch for the Stephanie Perkins books – and, of course, Harry Potter! Good choices.
Thanks Lauren. I can’t wait to read them:-)Have a lovely week.
The Woman In Cabin 10 sounds so creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
haha it does though but that is my kind of book:-)
me too! 😀
So many great books here! I loved Lola and Anna, but Isla was disappointed. I actually DNFed it.
Huntley Fitzpatrick is the best, though!
Thanks Briana. I will start with Huntley’s book 🙂
