Books I Read Because of Bloggers is part of Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
From a blogger’s perspective, I think we all want to know our content is being read, and that we are helping others in some way. Be it a review, advice post, or How To’s/DIY.
As a previous book blogger, this was my biggest fear: that no one would read what I am recommending. Because this was MY fear, it may be many others as well.
Why not recognize those who influenced ME?
Below, check out my list of 10 Books I Read Because of Bloggers, and WHY.
10 Books I Read Because of Bloggers
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff – Basically every blogger out there convinced me to read this. It was part of an OLD feature I did on my blog, that had readers choose a hyped book for me to read that I was scared to. Good fun that was!
Also, I am in the last book of this series. 😉
The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre – When this book was first announced, I wanted to read it. But after reading the review by Jen, I knew I NEEDED it.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Creekwood #1) by Becky Albertalli – Another book I was scared of due to hype, I put off reading it for MONTHS. Then, I participated in a book exchange where we drew names, and everyone sent their favorite book to the person they drew. Simon was the book I got from Gail. I loved it!
Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer & I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios – These were both recommend to me by my good friend and stylist! – Andi (Andi’s ABCs). I’ll Meet You There has military elements, which I usually stay away from but she persisted! Verdict: Loved them both.

wasn’t it so much fun?? I loved how action-packed it was!
I’ve seen several bloggers use this theme today and i love it! There’s nothing better than matching a book with an appreciate reader. I need to be better about noting who recommends what book to me so i can thank them. Thanks for inspiring me to be better about this.
Happy TTT!

It was the first idea that popped into my mind when I say the prompt so I went with it. 🙂
Are you on Goodreads? I use a shelf specifically for books that are recommended to me. I do forget sometimes who did, but at least I have a starting point!
Becky Albertalli has quickly become one of my favorites. 🙂

That is her only book I’ve read, does this mean I should read all of her books!?
I don’t often read YA but both Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and I’ll Meet You There were big hits for me. I’ll Meet You There, in particular, made a real impact.

I’ve read so many books because bloggers recommended them! Illuminae is definitely one of them!!
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction recently posted…Bite-Sized Reviews of The Darkest Star, Efrén Divided, Awesome Dog 5000 vs. Mayor Bossypants, & Pretty in Punxsutawney
I know what you mean, I was nervous about publishing my first blog post because I wasn’t sure if anyone would read it. Bloggers really do recommend incredible items to use. I’ve purchased a couple books based on reviews I read in the community. This collection looks quite interesting, I’ll have to check it out!
