Top Ten Books That Make You Think


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Books That Make You Think (About the world, people, life... etc)


1. If I Stay by Gayle Forman: 
This book was all about that one choice. If you had to choose would you stay or not... It's one of my favorites and I've re-read it at least three times.

2. 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher
This book really shows the effect bullying has on someone and how one comment can send someone of the edge.

3. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
AH! So many things to say about this book, but I guess the thing that really made me think was the idea of Noah and his love for his family and then Echo and her broken family.

4. Looking for Alaska by John Green
I couldn't stop thinking about if the "big event" in this book was an accident or suicide.

5. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
This was another books about the effects of bullying and how one person can make such a difference in someones life.

6. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Just like all dystopian's this book made me think about "what if this really happened"... and then I was thoroughly freaked out for a few days after reading it.

7. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith:
This book was all about the difference between fate and coincidence... and I think it could make even the most... not necessarily negative but realistic person believe in love at first sight. (PS. I just posted my review of this book... in case you want to read it.)

8. Knee Deep by Jolene Perry
Abuse. It's not something I like to read about, but Jolene Perry did an amazing job at writing about such a sensitive topic.

What are the books that really make you think?
