Top Ten Tuesday: Underrated/ Hidden Gem Books I've Read In The Past Year Or So


Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!  This week's topic is Underrated/ Hidden Gem Books I've Read In The Past Year Or So.  All of these have less than 1,000 ratings on Goodreads, but they all deserve so much more love.  Each book on my list will be linked to my review and will show the number of ratings it has as of Sunday, January 14, 2017.


The Trial (PULSE #1) by R.A. Crawford - Goodreads Ratings: 12


Redemption by Elora Mitchell - Goodreads Ratings: 22


Amanda Lester and the Pink Sugar Conspiracy by Paula Berinstein - Goodreads Ratings: 81

  1. Pulse- oh my. That's quite the cover! Down With The shine is on my list to read, and Future Shock looks like it could be a good dystopian/ time travel story?

  2. Interesting list!! I actually have a copy of The 13th Continuum that I haven't read yet, so it's nice to see it on your list today! I think I also got an eARC of Down With the Shine that I haven't read yet. Ugh, I need to get it in gear hahah. I've never heard of Frost before, but the cover is so cool, I looked up the description and it seems really interesting. Nice choices!

    My TTT!

  3. All these books have gorgeous covers! I sadly haven't heard of any of these. Ink & Ashes and 13 Continuum have peaked my interest!

  5. Ink and Ashes looks interesting and I love the cover! That's always the first thing that attracts me to a book and what causes me to take a closer look. I will definitely be looking Ink and Ashes up today! Happy reading!

  9. I love your list, I'll be adding some of them to my TBR. I went with books that I didn't really enjoy this past year, because I kind of already shared the underrated books/Books that I loved from the past year.

    1. Thanks Alicia! I've pushed Down with the Shine on so many friends this year...

  13. I'm definitely intrigued by Future Shock, that's one I really want to pick up this year! My favourite hidden gem I read last year was Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It's a really unique take on vampires set in Mexico City!

  14. Down with the Shine was popping up on a lot of WoW's last year and it always sounded interesting, maybe I should keep it in mind. And the cover to Frost intrigues me. Great list.
