Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week a different question is posed and gives us bloggers an opportunity to share our top tens on all different types of bookish topics. This is my first Top Ten Tuesday and the question is

Yey Days of Blood and Starlight 😀 So many of the sequels we share have a lesser emphasis on the romance than the first book, I think that’s why I like them >.>
My TTT
We share three of the same books this week. Scarlet, Unravel Me and Catching Fire are on my list too.
Great list! We have 2 in common: Unravel Me and Catching Fire. I thought about Siege and Storm and Days of Blood & Starlight, but I tried to limit it to sequels I liked better than the first book, and those two were equals for me. Here’s my list: http://mommysreadingbreak.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/top-ten-eight-best-sequels-ever/
I can’t help but agree with The Dream Thieves and Crown of Midnight the most! Those were two damned amazing books! Even more given that the expectations after the first book were so high!
Oh man I don’t do TTT but if I did Scarlet would definitely be on mine too. I remember loving that book so hard, and it was weird because I really struggled with Cinder. I can’t wait to read the next one! Great list!
Oh, welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! I’m so excited you’ve joined our fun little meme. 🙂
We have quite a few in common! Honestly, I don’t remember Catching Fire enough to know if I even liked it. Haha. I still really want to read Shatter Me and Unravel Me. Hopefully I can soon! Thanks for visiting my TTT. 🙂
THE DREAM THIEVES. YES. Best sequel. How the hell have I not read Girl of Nightmares yet? It’s on my list of creepy October reads though so I hope I finally get around to it. SIEGE AND STORM. YES. And… I haven’t read any of the others. Oh wait, CLOCKWORK PRINCE. YES. Geeze. And Catching Fire. Lol One of my favorite sequels is Dark Triumph. Fabulous list!
So happy to see so many similar titles on both our lists! A friend had me seriously doubting some of my choices earlier. 😛 I almost put Girl of Nightmares on my list, but I cannot BELIEVE I forgot about Clockwork Prince! For shame. Awesome list, as you well know. 😀
I CANNOT wait for Dream Thieves! I am waiting for the audiobook. I am not waiting patiently! I haven’t read Girl of Nightmares yet. Glad to hear it is an awesome sequel! Thanks for stopping by my TTT.
I just got The Raven Boys from the library today, so I need to read that before I can love The Dream Thieves! Lovely, signed copies of Cinder and Scarlet are sitting unread on my shelf; same with Crown of Midnight.
Love, love, love Laini Taylor’s series, and I can’t wait for the next book!

GREAT LIST!! I really have to read Through The Ever Night and Unravel Me. The first books in both series were incredible and I’m glad to hear you liked the sequels 🙂
I want to read the Shadow and Bones series too.

Great list. Such diversity! I feel like the only one who hasn’t read The Hunger Games or its sequels. Maybe I should bite the bullet and read them.
‘Crown of Midnight’ would totally make my list if it would hurry up and arrive! I didn’t really enjoy ‘Shatter Me’ until the end so I’m hoping when I do pick up ‘Unravel Me’ I’ll like it as much as everyone else. Great list 🙂
I’ve only read one book on this list….but these are all series that I desperately want to read/continue. I was supposed to read Unravel Me this month, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet 🙁
Unravel Me was really popular this week. I still haven’t started that series. I need to bump it up on my tbr list! Lots of other great choices.
Thanks for stopping by my TTT 🙂
We have three in common, but I still need to read Days of Blood & Starlight and Scarlet, I’m pretty sure I’ll love these two sequels! The first books are already my favorites. Great list! Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂
All these are either on my list or on my TBR. SO a giant YES!
Here’s my TTT
Sigh, SO MANY AMAZING books. <3 Loved most of them 😀 The Dream Thieves. Best one. Awesome list Kristen 😀
I’ve been hearing that The Dream Thieves is even better than The Raven Boys, but I’m too nervous to read it. I don’t want to be disappointed. >___<
I still haven't read Unravel Me and Crown of Midnight yet either.
As for Days of Blood & Starlight and Scarlet, I totally agree. BEST SEQUELS EVER. ;D
Great list & thanks for stopping by my TTT! (:
