Every Tuesday the ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish host a book related Top 10 theme.
Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi – Great conclusion to the series!
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardulo – I don’t think of myself as a Fantasy reader but I loved this (and looking back I’ve read and enjoyed a fair amount of Fantasy at this point)
Landline by Rainbow Rowell – I don’t think Rainbow can write something I won’t love. Her ability to create characters that I want to be friends with, that I want to shake when they make mistakes because I CARE just amazes me.
Unsticky by Sarra Manning – this is my favorite book of the year. I read it on the recommendation of Elizabeth at Don’t take my Books Away, but I resisted the rec for way too long because I kept reading the synopsis and finding the summary unappealing. Wow was I wrong. Love Grace and Vaughn!
Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh – I laughed so hard I had to take breaks between stories. There’s just something about her sense of humor that just perfectly clicks with mine.
On Writing by Stephen King- This book is half advice on being a writer and half Stephen King’s autobiography both parts are fascinating.
Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins – These books just make me so HAPPY.
Tease by Amanda Maciel – Fascinating look into the perspective of the bully. So impressive that the author managed to make me empathize with Sara almost immediately even while I was so frustrated with Sara’s lack of empathy.
We Were Liars by E Lockhart – Heartbreaking book, but different then anything I’ve read in a long time. Book that made me think.
Honorable Mentions
I’m about halfway through Throne of Glass and based on what I’ve read so far it will definitely make this list when I’m finished. Boomerang was so much fun and just what I needed to read when I read it.
Yessssssss! Unsticky made the list!
ReplyDeleteWait til you see my End of the Year Survey in a couple weeks. Unsticky was the book that I felt came up in too many categories.
DeleteNice list! I really liked CRESS, INTO THE STILL BLUE and ON WRITING. I have most of your other picks on my TBR mountain chain. Now I just have to find time to read them!
