Top Ten Readalikes



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. There is a new subject each week and this week's topic is "Top Ten Books To Read If You Like These Popular Books/Authors".

I consider the term "readalike" to be a little misleading. The books I suggest for each popular title are similar but not exactly alike.





If you liked Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, try:

The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
Lady of the Glen by Jennifer Roberson
At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen



If you liked Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, try:

The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley
Still Alice by Lisa Genova

If you liked The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, try:

Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (not YA fiction but may appeal to older teens)

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
