Top Ten Tuesday Twenty Three

Top Ten Non-Scary books for Halloween

Top ten tuesday is a weekly feature/ meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish.  This weeks topic was another I was sooo excited for, as I knew from the offset what topic I was going to choose for this Halloween-themed freebie.  This week I also managed to complete a full list of ten books - something I almost never manage to do.  So here is my list of some of my favourite non-scary books for Halloween - enjoy!

*

1) The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare - A series including vampires, werewolves and demons? If you don't want scary, then this is the perfect book to still get you in the spirit. 

*

2) Everyday by David Levithan - This is a likely not the first book many people, including me, would usually pick for a Halloween read, but I think that it's actually a good one paranormal to read as it's in no way scary or creepy but still has a supernatural element.

3) The Iron King by Julie Kagawa - This book centres entirely around faeries, as well as including some other supernatural creatures, and is so quick and easy to get through.  So if you want a fantastical read for Halloween, then I'd definitely give this a go.

4) The Midnight Palace by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - This is one where if you want a good Halloween read without reading straight-up horror, then I'd definitely pick this up as it's an amazing story but not the scariest of books (in my opinion).

5) My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking - This whole series revolves around a family of vampires, making it a perfect Halloween read. 

*

6) The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey - A book about a earth that has been invaded by creepy aliens who look human - so basically it's a perfect read if you don't want another book about werewolves, vampires or any other classic Halloweenesque creatures.

7) Revived by Cat Patrick - Despite the premise of this one not including anything supernatural or paranormal, the plot in this does get kinda creepy and so can definitely get you in the mood for this time of year without scaring you silly. 

*

8) We Were Liars by E. Lockhart - Another one similar to that of Revived and even Everyday as it isn't that Halloweeny but a good one if you want something mysterious or even creepy for this time of year. 

*

*

9) Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling - I'm sure almost everyone has either read the books or watched the films by now, so even if you have it's still so good for now as it's magical and just an amazing read!

10) The Host by Stephenie Meyer - Another alien one if you want a break from the common supernatural/paranormal characters that's not at all scary but could still get you in that Halloween mood.
