Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings in order to discuss a wide range of topics from books to blogging (and some slightly more personal matters throw in for good measure). After Heidi stopped blogging (apparently for good), five of us took over as hosts while providing new questions. The current team is composed of Berls at Because Reading Is Better Than Real Life, Jen at That's What I'm Talking About, Karen at For What It's Worth, Linda at Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Roberta at Offbeat YA. This week's question is...
WHAT UNDERRATED BOOKS OR AUTHORS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
I have quite a few - which makes sense, since Offbeat YA was born out of my desire to spotlight books that mostly fly under the radar and/or are quirky and not exactly fitting the mainstream mold (hence my blog's name). For this post, I decided to limit myself to books/series that have less than 1,000 ratings on Goodreads to date, or I would have written an encyclopedia 😅(that's why some of my 5-star reads aren't on this list, while a number of 4.5 ones are). The books are in alphabetical order according to the author's surname*. The titles redirects you to Goodreads, but you can find a link to my reviews under each synopsis. Brace yourselves...
*(Also, please note: I would have liked to use a snippet from my reviews for each book along with the synopsis, but this post would have gotten too long - which it already is LOL - and summarising my thoughts would have been too much work. I apologise in advance for the mammoth post...😅).
