The Chemist By Stephenie Meyer

I loved Twillight back in the day and also enjoyed Host by her, this is such a pretty book and sounds really interesting, I was torn on whether to buy this book or not as I have heard a rumour that she gives her profits to an anti-gay charity and disagree with that strongly is this true?

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week we are given a different top ten to complete. For more information and a list of past and future topics, go here.

I thought I would find this topic easier to complete however I always buy the books I want as soon as they come into my store, you can ask Jen I have a bit of a book buying on a whim problem.

1. The One Plus One By Jojo Moyes
2. Silver Bay By Jojo Moyes
So I recently read Me Before You and After You by Jojo Moyes and wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did so I feel as though I want to give some more of her books a chance.
 
3. The Time Keeper By Mitch Albom
4. The First Phone Call From Heaven By Mitch Albom
5. The Magic Strings Of Frankie Presto By Mitch Albom
I have read two of Alboms books in the past and absolutely enjoyed the ease and quickness of them as short enjoyable books, I love the emotions he makes me experience whether happy or sad and want to read more of his work.

6. Panic By Lauren Oliver
I have all of Lauren Olivers books except for this one and the last of the Delirium Trilogy, why I do not know! I wasn't even aware of this one and it sounds amazing.
 
7. The Blade Itself By Joe Abercrombie
My fiance is going on and on at me to read Joe Abercrombie books I have read The Shattered Sea Trilogy and I did enjoy it so although I wouldn't pay for this with my own money I think I would definitely give it a shot if someone else was paying.
 
8. Watermelon By Marian Keyes
So not so long ago I discovered that I have read number four of this series of books, I remember enjoying it so I will probably read the first three if someone else was paying.
 
9. Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married By Marian Keyes
I love pyschics, romance and I love Marian Keyes style of writing this book sounds right up my street.
   
10. Son Of A Witch By Gregory Maguire

1. Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell (Zoella Edition)
I have read the normal version and loved it, but the cover is yellow, my favourite colour and as I own six of Zoella's book club already this is on the list.

2. Billy And Me By Giovanna Fletcher
Well what can I say I am a completest and this is another of Zoella's. so this is needed to complete my collection.

3. Harry Potter And The Cursed Child By J.K.Rowling
I really want this after re-reading the Harry Potter stories at least twice over. Even though I was disappointed by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I want to read this script. Unless I can get a guy to take me to London to see the play and pay for me, then this will have to do.

4. The Starblade Chronicles: The Dark Army By Joseph Delaney
I have read all the spooks books and now want this one but in hardback so it matches the first one I have. 

5. Girl Online Going Solo By Zoe Sugg
If Girl Online On Tour is anything to go by I really want to read this, I just hope Penny and Noah get it on again.
