And more magic than powers
but still:
That's
it for me this week. Do you know any
other good books/series that focus on people with powers I should check
out? Share in the comments below.
Until
next time…
I only know the Darkest Minds from your list, but I really loved this series. So I'll check the other books, maybe there is one I'll like as well.
ReplyDeleteAs for other series about people with powers...how about the Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong? I liked Darkest Minds more, but I still enjoyed Darkest Powers (I have never written the word darkest as much as in this comment, haha).
My TTT is about Books to read if you like Tolkien.

Haha a lot of darkest going on. You know I haven't read those but I do have them (my shamefully long TBR) I'll have to get to them soon and I hope you like some of the other series as well!
DeleteCan't wait for my copy of The Young Elites to come in ! I've been keen on reading it
ReplyDeleteHeres my TTT
It's great! I'm excited for the sequel!
DeleteGreat list. I love the X-Men but sad to say, have not actually read any of your list. I own several of them, but haven't gotten around to them yet. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHaha don't worry I am guilty of owning tons of books/series I have not yet started/finished yet either and I add more almost every day lol.
DeleteI am totally bookmarking this page because there are so many books here I've never even heard of - and I do love me some X-Men-esque books. Very interested in The Geneva Project and Rivulet - I've got to go read about them. I've not actually read it yet, but I have heard that Illusive by Emily Lloyd-Jones is like the X-Men. (Which, admittedly, is so the reason I bought it.)
ReplyDeleteHaha I do that all the time! Awe glad I could bring some books to your attentions I'll have to check out Illusive myself. Always adding to my TBR!
DeleteThe cover to Rivulet is absolutely amazing! I was a little confused about the series situation for Rivulet, but I read your review and am so glad you pointed out that you can read it on its own :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
OMG yes! You know what's so funny about that is I met the author at UtopYA back in June, didn't know she'd be there or anything just saw the book cover I knew and had to go over all excited and she mentioned a blog summing it up really well and then we both laughed realizing it was me! It was hilarious and totally mad my day!
DeleteYes, The Young Elites, Miss Peregrine, and Red Queen were good!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT.
I'm excited for The Rose Society this month and Library of Souls Friday when I get to see Ransom Riggs (provided nothing happens between now and then)!
Deletefun topic! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteThat is an awesome list!!!! I love so many of these books! I love Shatter Me, Red Queen, The Darkest Minds, The Geneva Project, Trial by Fire, and Miss Peregrine! Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had such a hard time picking a topic there were so many options but then I just needed to do these.
DeleteI've never seen X-Men but quite a lot of the books on your list are on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/29/top-ten-tuesday-24/
Whoohoo for books added to a TBR always good times. Also I do recommend checking out the X-Men movies they are rather fun times.
DeleteYou know, I didn't think I would like X-Men, BUT I have liked a LOT of the books you mentioned, so maybe I am selling X-Men short? Perhaps I will give it a try! Fabulous list :)
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
I'm so glad you've liked books from the list. As for X-men some movies are better than others. I know some of my die hard comic fans friends don't like the movies as much specifically the last stand but I'm really enjoying the ones with the younger cast (young Xavier and Eric) a bit more.
