Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic is a recommendations freebie - since I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and I'd like to represent my House, here are my recommendations for my fellow Hufflepuffs!
Cinder by Marissa Meyer - This whole series really fits with it's tight core group of friends - Kai, Winter, and Wolf are totally Hufflepuffs.
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine - Ella embodies so many of the core traits of a Hufflepuff to me.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - Levi is an excellent example of a Hufflepuff.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman - I totally got Hufflepuff vibes from the Hempstock women.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky - The relationship between Charlie, Sam, and Patrick alone makes me want to include this on the list.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman - Westley and Fezzick have to be Hufflepuffs!
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Beck Albertalli - Honestly, I think Simon has the best Hufflepuff qualities. If you haven't already met Simon, what are you waiting for?
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - I'd say Atticus Finch also has some of the best Hufflepuff qualities. If you haven't met him, where have you been? Just skip Go Set a Watchman.
Bonus:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling - The audiobook is read by Eddie Redmayne in character as Newt Scamader!
What are other good Hogwarts House themed reads? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Great list! I've read at least half of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Skye! Looks like you've got a good start. :)
DeleteI am a Hufflepuff, too and I love all these books!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI really enjoyed this post! And now I also want to listen to the audiobook of Fantastic Beasts!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! Hope you can try it!
DeleteI really want to read Code Name Verity sometime. It sounds great! Fangirl is a pretty Hufflepuff book, I agree. Great list :D
ReplyDeleteRekha @ Million Book Mill
It's so good, especially on audiobook. :)
DeleteThanks, Rekha!
Love it! Although I do identify as Ravenclaw, I definitely think I'm more of a Ravenpuff or a Huffleclaw. But I'm married to a wonderful Hufflepuff, and I agree that these characters belong in the house.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday
Cool! Thanks for sharing, Kate!
DeleteFun list :D I'm a Slytherin...but I think Princess Bride definitely has some Slytherin characters :D
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely say it does, at that! :)
DeleteThanks for coming over, Anastasia.
Oh yes! This Hufflepuff loves this list. I've read so many of these books. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI loved Cinder and Gaiman's book looks really good to me.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Gaiman is one of those authors that I don't even have to know what it's about but I have to read it! :)
DeleteThanks for visiting, Sherry!
Haha, great topic for your list this week! Bilbo is definitely a Hufflepuff xD
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
For sure! :)
DeleteThanks for sharing!
To Kill a Mockingbird is a great read! I read it this year for the first time and nearly re-read it again right after finishing it. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the TTT link-up https://lydiahowe.com/2017/08/15/top-ten-book-recommendations-for-nonfiction-readers/
I really need to reread it sometime... Thanks for sharing!
DeleteEddie is a total Hufflepuff so I support this! I love this list, and I was surprised (but loved) that you added Gaiman!
ReplyDeleteI know right! :)
DeleteThanks for visiting, Amber!
Love the list! I've read quite a few of these, and I definitely agree with you on all the ones I have. The rest are already on my TBR, haha! I'll have to bump them up a bit!
ReplyDelete-Amy @ burstingwithbooks.com
Yay! I hope you enjoy them once you get to them!
DeleteThanks, I hope so too! XD
DeleteGreat list! As a Ravenclaw, I have read about half the books on your list.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: Marie @ Pages to Explore
I don't blame you there! :)
DeleteThanks for sharing, Marie!
Great list! I'm a Hufflepuff and I've read about four of these? Not too shabby!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/top-ten-tuesday-120/
Not bad at all!
DeleteSome great books here. I love Cinder and enjoyed The Perks of Being a Wallflower movie.
ReplyDeleteThe Perks movie was fantastic! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteFangirl and The Hobbit- yay! And Princess Bride too. I like this list. :)
ReplyDeleteWoot! Thanks for coming over, Greg!
DeleteFellow Hufflepuff and I must say I love your choices!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI had no idea what a Hufflepuff was...I guess I need to read Harry Potter. Great reading suggestions!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole! :)
DeleteOooh, so many good ones there! Ella Enchanted, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, To Kill a Mockingbird... :) Love your list!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Princess Bride yet, but I LOVE the movie!!
Thanks Mila! The Princess Bride movie is fantastic and I have to say that I love the book just as much. :)
DeleteGreat idea for a post! Love this! So many good books I've read. I need to look for Simon. Thanks for the recommendations.
ReplyDeleteSimon is awesome, especially on audio!
DeleteI've enjoyed several of these. Code Name Verify I'll have to investigate. Here's my thoughts on the marvelous Perks of Being Wallflower https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2016/08/22/reflections-on-the-perks-of-being-a-wallflower-or-finding-myself-at-54-thanks-to-a-ya-book/
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
DeleteOoooh these picks are amazing!! I have read a good chunk from your list and I wholeheartedly agree! Awesome choices :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather!
DeleteI’m a Ravenclaw, but I’ve read almost all of these. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks for sharing, AJ!
DeleteSuch great choices! I have read a few, but the ones I haven't read, I would like to read. I loved The Princess Bride. I am planning to read Cinder this next month. It feels like a September book to me for some reason. :-) Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love Cinder - it's easily one of my favorites!
DeleteI'm a Hufflepuff too-or I was on the original Pottermore, and I'm not on the newer one. It does fit my personality though! And I love badgers! I've only read The Hobbit and was forced to read To Kill A Mockingbird at school. I don't read contemporary or YA so no plans to read the rest!
ReplyDeleteOriginally I was a Gryffindor, but I'd say that Hufflepuff definitely fits me more. :)
DeleteI really liked Code Name Verity, although I preferred the sequel. Fangirl is one of my favorites as well!
ReplyDeleteI still need to get to that one - no idea why I haven't already... :)
DeleteUnfortunately, I am not a Hufflepuff but I've read most of these books are really enjoyed them! And I didn't know the audiobook of Fantastic Beasts was narrated by Eddie Redmayne. I adore him and even though I'm not much of an audiobook fan, I think I will check that one out. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I helped piqued your interest! :) Happy listening!
DeleteI cannot lie, but I have no idea what defines a Hufflepuff. That said, this is still a fantastic list. I see 3 of my faves up there.
ReplyDeleteYou'll definitely have to look that up! :D
DeleteThese books are so perfect for Hufflepuffs! I especially agree with Code Name Verity and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. :) Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over, Zoe!
DeleteAww this is SO fun! I am a Hufflepuff (I mean, I haven't read the books or anything, but I have taken ALL the quizzes and really there is no doubt in my mind hah) but the only one I have read is Cinder- I guess I should really give some of these a go!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a good starting point here! :)
DeleteWONDERFUL picks! I'm a 'Puff too :)
ReplyDeleteHigh five, Erica! :)
DeleteI love these Hogwarts House specific lists. One day I'll stop being lazy and make a Ravenclaw one. Simon is perfect for this list. I finally read it and loved it! Now I'm dying for the movie. Great list, Lauren!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your picks, Alicia! :)
DeleteAwww, Ella Enchanted, that brings back the nostalgia. I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed the film too. They're both cute. IN fact I meant to include the book on this week's Top 10, but forgot it. Oops!
ReplyDeleteThis is yet ANOTHER reminder to read 'Verity' and the Lunar books. Hopefully soon-ish. Fun list - and thanks so much, as always, for visiting Finding Wonderland, Lauren. :)
I know right! I liked the movie too - it was different but still fun. :)
DeleteI hope you like them, Rissi!
I love this topic! I agree with Simon vs. and Fangirl being on this list 100% and I'm happy to have them in my house! I haven't read any Tolkien or Gaiman but I desperately need to.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to try them! :)
