Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be participating in Top Ten Teusday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. I don't participate in TTT every week, but only when it strikes my fancy.
This week's topic is books we love that have less than 2,000 ratings on goodreads. I don't give out a ton of five stars, so I'm going to be recommending both four and five star reads today. Also, I'm not going to add ARCs on here. There are several ARCs that I have read and enjoyed that are under 2,000 ratings, but that might change pretty quickly once the book is published. I am also writing this early, so all these books had less than 2,000 ratings on January 5th. I wanted to recommend books that I genuinely enjoyed and still remember, so I only put 9 on this list.
Without further ado, here are 9 books I love that have less than 2,000 ratings on goodreads.
The Cha Cha Files: A Chapina Poetica by Maya Chinchilla
Goodreads |
I read this poetry collection for a class, and it was amazing. There were some poems in here that didn't speak to me, but the majority of them were excellent.
Analee, In Real Life by Janelle Milanes
Goodreads |
The more I think of Analee, in Real Life, the more I enjoy the book. Analee was such a great MC, and her anxieties really spoke to me. If you want to know more of my thoughts, here's my review.
Withering Rose by Katilyn Davis
Goodreads |
Withering Rose is a Beauty and Beast retelling that I really enjoyed. Honestly, I haven't read this in a couple years and I've forgotten a lot, but I remember really liking it. I'm pretty sure I still have this on my kindle app, so I might just reread it. Here is my review.
This Cruel Design by Emily Suvada
Goodreads |
This Cruel Design is the sequel to Emily Suvada's debut, This Mortal Design. This sequel is thrilling and the ending outrageous in the best way possible. Here is my review.
Sanctuary by Caryn Lix
Goodreads |
I received an ARC of Sanctuary last year and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Sanctuary is a sci-fi thriller with a bit of romance, and I'm definitely reading the sequel that is coming out this year. Here is my review.
The Raging Ones by Krista and Becca Ritchie
Goodreads |
The Raging Ones is the first in a fantasy duology that took me by surprise. I read many mixed reviews, but I ended up enjoying the book a lot more than I thought. It was a bit slow at times, but the characters made up for it. Here is my review.
Run Away With Me by Mila Gray
Goodreads |
Run Away With Me is the third book in a contemporary romance series by Mila Gray. I love the first two books, and Run Away With Me wasn't an exception. In fact, it's my favorite of the three, and I seriously don't know why more people haven't read it! Here is my review.
Nyxia Unleashed by Scott Reintgen
Goodreads |
Nyxia Unleashed is the sequel to Reintgen's debut novel, Nyxia. Though I didn't like Nyxia Unleashed as much, it did provide a lot of insight into the world and I'm looking forward to the final novel, which is due this year. Here is my review.
Let the Wind Rise by Shannon Messenger
Goodreads |
Let the Wind Rise is the final book in the Sky Fall series, which I loved. I read this years ago, so I don't remember the details, but I was very pleased with how it all turned out.
And those are 10 books with less than 2,000 ratings that I really enjoyed, and perhaps loved! I would recommend any and all of these! Do we have any books in common? What are some books you love with less than 2000 ratings?
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!
Genni @ Ready, Set, Read!
I will for sure have to check some of these out. Love finding new reads!

Yes, it's so great!
DeleteI love the cover of This Cruel Design! Nyxia is actually already in my TBR list, so I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteElle Inked @ Keep on Reading
I know right? They have a great time behind that series. I hope you love Nyxia, Elle!
DeleteI am a fan of the Mila Gray books. All of them were that kind of emotional romance that I always enjoy. I liked Analee, though I wish a few things would have played out a little differently.
ReplyDeleteI am too! I think she has a perfect blend of hard-hitting and fun; she always tugs at my heartstrings.
DeleteI hadn't heard of any of these books, but I'm so glad you enjoyed them.

ReplyDeleteExactly! It gets boring when you see the same 20 or so books hyped up. :)
DeleteSanctuary is one I've seen on a few lists, and it totally sounds like something I'd like!

DeleteThank you for always reminding me to read This Mortal Design. It's been on my wishlist since it came out.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, of course! I dont' really stop talking about the series, do I?
