Hi guys, today’s TTT , a meme by The Broke and the Bookish is about those books I picked up without really hearing others talk about. Usually I tend to buy and read books I hear lots of great things about, but I have a small amount of books I bought and read before I even was in this community.
- All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I bought this book at the airport on my flight to Thailand and I didn’t know anything about it. I read the back and thought this one would be nice to read, since I hadn’t brought any books with me for my vacation.
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth. Again, I wasn’t in the book community as I read this book. I watched the film and heard that there was a book to it, so I decided to pick it up.
3. The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer. I picked this book up only because of its cover, however I tried to read it during a reading slump and it didn’t really work but I’ll definitely give this one another chance.
Well, these are all the books I bought without really having heard anything about them. I know these aren’t a lot, but I don’t mind it. What I love most about the book community is that you can read and talk about books others have read too and I don’t think it’s a bad thing to consider recommendations and jump on the band wagon.
I hoped you enjoyed this quite short TTT and I’ll see you soon!
I wasn’t in the book community either when I read Divergent. My sister gave it to me and then it was all downhill from there :p

I love picking up random books from the airport! It’s the best place to find something different 🙂

I made it kind of a habit to pick up a book every time I’m at an airport!😊

I admit to being very critical about most of my books choices, reading reviews, checking ratings, etc. But every once and awhile I get a book for the heck of it, because sometimes you have to take a chance, right? My TTT

You picked up some awesome books on a whim. I was sent a review copy of All the Bright Places and ended up absolutely loving it. I can’t wait for Jennifer Niven’s new YA novel, I hope I love it just as much. Great list 🙂 You can check out my post here.
