Top Ten Tuesday was started by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday there’s a different topic. This week’s Top Ten is books I read last year that were out of my comfort zone. Since I haven’t really read too much outside my comfort zone, I’m changing it slightly to Top Ten books outside my comfort zone I would like to read.
10. 
How Can I Help? – David Goldbloom. This is a well-being book about the life of a psychiatrist. It’s a field I have a lot of interest in and it’s supposed to be compassionate and realistic.
9. 
The Cuckoo’s Calling – Robert Galbraith. I don’t do a lot of mystery outside of YA but this one has been on my radar even before I knew it was JK Rowling.
8. 
The Nightingale – Kristin Hannah. So many people have told me this is the best book they read last year.
7. 
Open Heart, Open Mind – Clara Hughes. I haven’t done too many bios in the past but Clara Hughes is a name I not only know, I’ve followed for her career.
6. 
Breaking Away – Patrick O’Sullivan. Another bio, this time combining my love of reading with my love of hockey. This seems like an emotional read.
5. 
Hardwired – Meredith Wild. I usually stay away from the romance section unless I know there’s a new Abbi Glines or J Lynn that just came out but this one keeps catching my eye when I do go there.
4. 
The Magicians – Lev Grossman. I keep seeing the previews for the TV show and it looks good.
3. 
Outlander – Diana Gabaldon. This time I have seen the show and it’s soooo good.
2. 
The Rosie Project – Graeme Simsion. I’ve heard the main character described as Sheldon and Penny from The Big Bang Theory, which is enough for me to be interested.
1. 
Black Butler – Yana Toboso. Manga is really out of my comfort zone and I’m not sure I’ll like it but I do want to give it a try.
Overflowing Bookshelves 
The Nightingale is one I would like to read too! And YES – you MUST read the Rosie Project lol. It’s brilliant and fun. My TTT
I keep hearing how funny it is. Definitely on the list:)
I have been meaning to read The Rosie Project forever too. It’s one of those that pops up everywhere I go.
It’s impossible to ignore.
Great list! I really want to read The Nightingale and The Magicians too!
Thanks:)
I really liked The Rosie Project. I hope that you do too!
Thanks:) me too:)
The Rosie Project is not the type of book I would read either, but the blurb compelled me to add to my tbr. I think the plot is promising! 🙂
It does sound promising:)
I really liked Outlander! It was a little wordy for me at times but I love Claire and Jamie so it was worth it! Love the show too!
Jamie seems like he would make a lot of things worth it:)
I really, really liked the Magicians! And have been dying to read the Outlander series after falling in love with the show
Here’s my TTT
The show is so addicting:)
Sheldon and Penny from TBBT? Yes please! That’s totally enough for me to want to read the Rosie Project too.
I haven’t read Black Butler but I’ve watched the anime, and it’s pretty good.
Great list!
My TTT if you’re interested. (:
I haven’t done any anime but there’s people in my life who keep pushing me toward it:)
I liked the first episode of The Magicians (haven’t seen more yet), but I didn’t like the first book very much. The main character in the book was pretty annoying, but he seemed less so in the show, so far.
Check out my TTT.
