I had so much trouble figuring out answers to this. It’s tough when you read a lot and are always adding things to your TBR to determine which books were specifically read because of Booktube or another blogger. I ended up just scrolling through my read list and remembering specific conversations I had about this books that lead to me reading them.
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme that the lovely Bionic Bookworm does. If you are interested in doing any of her topics on your blog she welcomes it! Don’t forget to check out her upcoming topics if you’re interested in participating in future Top 5’s! Be sure to check out her post here!
Books I’ve Read Because of Youtube/Blogs:
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – My Review
This book exploded on the blogosphere and so many people read it, eventually, I just had to pick it up.
The rest are ones that I found on Mandy’s blog – Book Princess Reviews that we talked about and it made me read them, so Mandy Appreciation Post? Haha.
By a Charm and a Curse by Jaime Questell – My Review
She mentioned the carnival aesthetic of this book and I knew I needed to read it.
Percy Jackson (Graphic Novels) by Rick Riordan – My Mini Reviews
Somehow I missed the memo that these books were made in graphic novel form until they popped up on Mandy’s blog.
The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller – My Review
I’m not much of a contemporary reader, but I heard that this was one of Mandy’s favourite books and it has all the nerdy feels that I love.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman – My Review
Did you think I would actually stick to five this week? Even if I did series, rather than solo books. What books would you like to re-read? Let me know in the comments!

The Hate You Give is the perfect example of blogs and social media working for a book! I’m so glad that one got the hype it deserved! And one of these days I’ll read Percy Jackson and I can add it to my own list of books I’ve read because of blogs – you talk about it a lot and I really need to get to it!
Thanks for participating – added you to the list 🙂

Same about THUG! I probably would’ve read it anyway, but it was all the hype that made me read it so soon!

Exactly. I definitely would’ve gotten around to it at some point, but all the buzz and people talking about it just made me read it sooner.

THUG was also a read following the hype on friend’s blogs!

Exactly! I was influenced more by fellow bloggers then I was by Booktube to be honest.

*is dying* OMG, so many books that I accidentally shoved at you. D: XD THUG was the same for me as well. The hype was unreal and definitely seeing it over and over again definitely made me pick it up. Thank you for the shoutout, Kyera. You would definitely show up repeatedly on my post if I did one. 😉 ❤

Bahaha, I thought of more after I made the list. I legit was struggling until I went through my Goodreads and kept saying, oh yeah mandy mentioned that one… oh yeah Mandy read that one too, etc. Like I just got the Undead Girl Gang one from my holds and that’s my next read.
