February 19, 2019: Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads
I did a similar topic for Top Ten Tuesday back in Top Ten Tuesday #6. So I’m going to pick a list of ten books that didn’t make that first list. In fact, I narrowed down my list even more to books with under 100 ratings on Goodreads.
Ten Books That Need More Love:
- You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You – A personal friend of mine wrote this pseudo-memoir/ autobiography of her mother, and wow, it’s powerful.
- Rags and Ruins– A fantastic read! A fantasy book that turns troupes on their heads. Read my review.
- The Last Treasure of Ancient England – I know that the phase of boarding school stories may be past, but this one is worth a read for it’s inventive “treasure”. Read my review.
- Era of Undying – I just recently read this story and again it’s the fact that it’s so inventive that makes it worthy of a read. It’s a little bit like Avatar the Last Airbender meets Torchwood Miracle Day with hints of Greek mythology thrown in. Read my review.
- Clod Makes a Friend – I know I’ve raved and raved and raved about this book. That’s because it really is that GOOD. If you want a great middle grade read pick up Clod Makes A Friend because it will not disappoint.
- 99 Days – I still need to write a review of this one. But it was definitely the book of the year for 2017. A very interesting fantasy book that asked deep questions about what a life is worth.
- The Waterfall Traveler – A great fantasy book that I remember I couldn’t put down. The only reason it wasn’t five-stars was because of a unnecessary love triangle. Read my review.
- Empty Threat – An absolute book lovers treat. If you’ve ever wondered if you could go into the story and change it, this book is for you.
- Richard’s Story – Part of the Shattered Worlds boxed set this is the story of how the modern world ended and what lead to the creation of a dystopian. A side of the stories we don’t normally get.
- Lettuce Grows on the Ground – This whole series of kids books it totally worth having in your library. Each book is colorful and leads wonderfully to discovering where our food comes from.

Nice list! Did you manage to find 10 books with less than 100 ratings? I didn’t have time to check them all but that’s impressive! I’m intrigued by The Last Treasure of Ancient England. Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres.
Yes! All of these had under 100 ratings at the time I put the list together. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Sorry- I totally missed that you noted that at the bottom! I only have a couple with less than 100 ratings, unfortunately, most of them weren’t home runs for me. It can be hard to find good indie authors.
Yes, please do write a review of 99 Days. I’m curious to hear more of your thoughts on it.
My Top Ten Tuesday post.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yes it’s on my short-list of books to review. I just need to get on it.
Ooh The Last Treasure sounds interesting! And how neat that about your friend’s book- that sounds wonderful!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. My friends book really blew me away, I couldn’t believe what all her mother had been through.
