Top 10 Tuesday — First Person POV

11 Mar

Happy Tuesday! Today TTT bloggers are listing books featuring their favorite plot device or theme. I decided to go with first person POV (a narrative technique where the story is told from the perspective of a character in the story). First person POV can be hit or miss. The books I have listed are done really well. In some cases the book is all first person, in others only in a small part of the storyline is it used, but all are done with great effect. I have included books from a number of genres so you can find your favorite.

Head over to That Artsy Reader Girl for more bloggers’ favorites.

    Sarah Monzon’s new one is in first person POV too and I loved it! Also an older series – The Everstone Chronicles by Dawn Crandall convinced me that I really do enjoy first person POV lol.

    I agree, I like first person POV when done well. I have enjoyed it in several of the books you listed today (the others I haven’t read!).

    First person POV is my favorite as well. I like the intimacy of it.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
