Hey there dear readers! =) My favorite time of the week has arrived, Top 5 time!

This was such a fun one to think about and much harder than I thought it would be LOL, I Hope you enjoy it as well!

Let’s get right to it, shall we?

This week’s results:

image

Funniest "One Liners"! = 16 (44%)

Favorite 1st Books in a Series! = 20 (55%)

 

The theme for today is:

Favorite 1st Books in a Series!

 

But first, a little bit about this feature and the rules to join in…

Every Sunday I will post a TOP 5 list on the blog. It can be about anything and every week I'll have a new theme {You can vote on next week’s theme on my left sidebar!} and I will ad the Mr.Linky bellow the post so you can do a list with the theme and add you link to it.

Rules:

  1. Write a post listing your TOP 5 choices within the theme I chose (or was chosen on a poll) for the week.
  2. Mention this Blog on the post and link back to it.
  3. Fell free to use the Feature's image (there is a smaller size version of it bellow)
  4. After you've finished your post, add you link (of the post, not your blog's main page) to the Mr.Linky at the end of that week's post.
  5. If you don’t have a blog to post, just leave your list in the comments =)

 

This week’s theme is Favorite 1st Books in a Series!

Wow this was much harder than I thought it would be!

There are a lot of series I love that the first book wasn’t my favorite at all hehe… well, I finally did come up with five =) 

  *in no particular order

 

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs {Jane Jameson #1}

by Molly Harper

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (Jane Jameson, #1)

All books is this hilarious series are fantastic, but the first one and how Jane becomes a Vamp is simply amazing!

 

Touched by an Alien {Katherine "Kitty" Katt #1}

by Gini Koch

Touched by an Alien (Katherine "Kitty" Katt, #1)

Seeing Martini and Kitty meeting for the first time is unforgettable and awesome!

 

The Hunger Games {The Hunger Games #1}

by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games

I love the complete trilogy, but the impact of reading this book can never be topped!

 

Soulless {The Parasol Protectorate #1}

by Gail Carriger

Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1)

This one was one it took me a while to get into and get used to the writing, but after I did, it was brilliant!

 

Pleasure Unbound {Demonica #1}

by Larissa Ione

Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1)

Doc E and Tayla made quite an impact and getting to know the Demonica world was incredible!

  14. Julie says:

    Firsts I've read and still like the best are Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost, Vision in White by Nora Roberts and Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh.
    This was harder than it looks...lol!

  15. I little late, but it is still Sunday, so it counts LOL! I am so with you Julie, Halfway to the Grave is a great choice. It was hard to narrow it down to five, but trust me it is also a favorite. Great choices Larissa, I had to add Pleasure Unbound to mine too. Larissa Ione is freaking genius!

  16. Excellent Choices. x
