READ: Books I Didn’t Think I’d Like {Top Ten Tuesday}. PDF, EPUB online free reviews.

Today I’m joining The Broke and Bookish for their Top Ten Tuesday link-up. The theme for today is: Ten Books I Struggled to Get Into/Thought Weren’t My Style, But Ended Up Liking.

Dangerous Love by Ray Norman (Nonfiction)
Forgiving the man who shot you and your daughter? Wow. Captivating and inspiring. (After you get past the info dump at the beginning.) See My Review

Out of the Depths by Edgar USMC Harrell (Nonfiction)
A WW2 account at its finest – a sunken ship, surviving way too long at sea, and being heroes. See My Review

Christian’s Hope by Ervin Stutzman (Fiction)
I was unimpressed with this book until a friend mentioned it was based on a true story. The I was quite intrigued. (Amish captured by Indians? How did I never know about that?) See My Review

Hand of Providence by Mary Beth Brown (Nonfiction)
My mom highly recommended this book, so I wanted to read it, but I never expected it to draw me in so completely. Just thinking about it makes me want to re-read it. See My Review

Ready or Not by Chautona Havig (Fiction)
This book has way too many characters which made it difficult to get into, but after months I finally got caught up in the story and devoured the series. See My Review

My Daughter’s Legacy by Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould (Fiction)
For some reason this book looked boring (#oops), but literally, as soon as I began reading I was hooked. See My Review

A Reluctant Melody by Sandra Ardoin (Fiction)
I really dislike the cover and so nearly didn’t give the book a try. And, although this isn’t a story I would ever gush over/highly recommend, I did like it a lot. See My Review

Rule of Law by Randy Singer (Fiction)
This was an unfamiliar genre for me (Thriller), so I was a little bit nervous. The book rocked. Just finished it and haven’t been able to form a full opinion for a review yet.

The Princess Spy by Melanie Dickerson (Fiction)
Another unfamiliar genre (Fairytale Retelling), but one I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I’m intrigued by the idea of retellings, but I don’t want too much romance, ya know? See My Review

Unplanned by Alana Terry (Fiction)
Yet another unfamiliar genre (Suspense) – I guess these past few months were good for trying new genres? This book was one I did not want to put down at all. See My Review

Have you read any of these books? What are some books you didn’t think you’d like but were pleasantly surprised by?
