This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books I bought/borrowed because of the hype. I thought this week I would showcase all of the library books I have borrowed over the last year because they are so hyped. I have definitely been making a conscious decision to try and borrow the books instead of purchasing them in case I don’t actually end up liking them and wasting my money.
So these are 10 books I have borrowed from my local library because of the hype:
Save the Date by Morgan Matson – this wasn’t exactly the book it was more so because of the author.
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio – not as well known as some other books but enough for me to pick this up!
Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid – the most hyped book of 2019
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan – After the movie came out it seemed like everyone read the books so of course I had to as well
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang – I seen a lot of people reading this book at one point so I had to borrow and read it as well.
Red Sister by Mark Lawrence – I needed a new fantasy series to get stuck into and this one was very hyped on book tube
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng – Another book that at one point it seemed like absolutely everyone read and loved
The Flat Share by Beth O’Leary – this book was promoted everywhere at one stage and I heard a few good reviews so I thought why not
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern – when she announced The Starless Sea everyone seemed to lose their minds, I knew this style wouldn’t gel with me but I succumbed and had to give it a read
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow – same as previously, portal fantasy isn’t really a sub-genre I enjoy but the hype got to me

I think I also checked out every one of these. I was pleased with Flatshare, greatly disappointed with Villains, and I still haven’t gotten to read Daisy Jones.

Probably 🤣 the hype does get to me, I have refined a lot of my reading tastes though so if I know I’m not going to like something I won’t pick it up anymore!

Some books looks like great reads. Is The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow a good book? I am just wondering. Cause this is the first time I’ve heard of it. If you are looking for more fantasy series then I recommend a YA Fantasy series by Karen Tomlinson. She just had a book came out on the 4th. If you like Sarah J. Maas books and Holly Black books then you will like her.
Here is my TTT

Same for me with January – definitely was missing something for me, but I think I can see why it was hyped. I was definitely on the hype train for Daisy Jones and Kiss Quotient though – loved those two!

Great list! I’m a huge sucker for the hype lol I’ve read some of these because of it and I have pretty much added the others to my TBR for the same reason 😂
