I remember that once I did a quiz asking how “classic” I was! which pretty much was asking how many classic books I had read… Then, there was this specific bookmark that had the 100 must-read titles before you die! – gloomy- I then remember seen an all-time bestseller list of all times, and I wonder today, how many have I read so far?
I wish I have all of them! Or that I read all the titles on the challenges that Buzzfeed gives and so! Even obey the little bookmark, but the reality is: time and adulting do not help! So, here is the list of the top best-selling books according to Business Insider and which ones I have read!
#1: Fifty Shades of Grey Saga!
I honestly can live without reading this one! It has never called my attention and I have read so many things about it that will still make me not wanting to read them XD
Read? NO
#2: The Hunger Games Saga!
I have read these titles only once! But a fellow blogger gifted me the 10-year anniversary edition and I am intending to read them all over again! And now that there is another book coming, I am so rereading them again!
Read? YES
#3 Gone Girl!
I mean how not to? I remember I bought this one when I was in the UK on a trip! I loved the book so much and it has been my favorite thriller/mystery since I read it! I even got to talk about it at college! This is a must-read and happily I have read it!
Read? YES
#4: The Help!
I watched the movie! and I said that I had to read the book although it was done a few months ago that I watched it. I have tried to purchase the book but never got the package… you know… international blogger with international shipping problems.
Read? NO
#5: The Fault in Our Stars
Until the beginning of the year, this was a NO… not because I didn’t want to but mainly because I never felt like reading it. My BF loves this book and he reread it a few months before I actually read it and told me that I had to! And being honest, I like it very much!
Read? YES
#6: The Girl on the Train
I haven’t… and I don’t know why. I know this came out a bit after Gone Girl and it was a hit right away! but I haven’t actually gotten next to buy it! But I do want to read it! It must be good if people loved it that much… right?
Read? NO
#7: Divergent
I love the Divergent series and I feel this is quite an unpopular opinion haha I enjoyed the tree books, the characters (not Four), and the ending of the titles! I agree that the last book was a bit slow but that was because of Four… but besides that, I love the whole conclusion!
Read? YES
#8: Harry Potter
I mean… I had to! I couldn’t stay in the dark for more years! I got the whole box set for $35 on BookOutlet! We were meant to be together! I loved the stories! They had so much deep and such a rich world. I am sorry that the movies weren’t able to cover as much of the fantastic universe of Harry Potter.
Read? YES
#9: Unbroken
This is the first time I see this book and didn’t know it had a movie… so I guess that answers if I have read this one or not XD
Read? NO
#10: Wonder
I know there is a movie, and I know there is a book, this is not like the last book option here… but I don’t know it has never ever called me. I am not interested in reading it.
Read? NO
#11: Game Of Thrones
I mean after years of free marking, millions of memes, hype for Sunday nights and all that… I had to succumb to get to read the books. I have only read the first one… yet! but I am planning this year to get to book 2!
Read? YES
#12: The Husband’s Secret
Well… no… I haven’t and I don’t think I will… Not even Big Little Lies…
Read? NO
#12: Heaven is for Real
This is the first time I see this book and didn’t know it had a movie… so I guess that answers if I have read this one or not XD *deja vu*
Read? NO
#13: The Great Gatsby
Yes! and Yes! I hated it the first time I read it! but the second time like 8 years later haha I loved it! I enjoyed it so much. I love the 1920’s feeling, the setting, the difficulties and the hypocrisy of society! Oh, such a powerful story! There is a signed 1934 edition of this book worth $34.000… and I am thinking about it XD
Read? YES
The list included some books of the saga but I included all! I didn’t include self-development either haha
Have you read any of these ones? Which ones are you missing? Which ones are you so not going to read?
