Top Ten Reads of 2012
This year I read some INCREDIBLE books. I've limited my selection to 10 but there are def others that I would include under my favorite category for the year.
I'm not going to go into each book separately. They are all favorites because they are all amazing books. Most importantly they all made me feel lots of feelings. They have it all. For each one, I connected with the writing, the characters and the story. Each pulled me in and I didn't want to let go.
1. Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Laini Taylor)
*** Days of Blood & Starlight *** (Laini Taylor)- This is an update, I finished this book after I posted this list. It is equal with the one up above. One of my favorite books in the history of forever (AFTER Harry Potter, of course)
2. Clockwork Prince (Cassandra Clare)
3. Divergent (Veronica Roth)
4. The Sky is Everywhere (Jandy Nelson)
5. Slammed (Colleen Hoover)
6. Looking for Alaska (John Green)
7. Summer series (Jenny Han)
8. Under the Never Sky (Veronica Roth)
9. The Book Thief (Markus Zusak)
10. Every Day (David Levithan)
*EEEP! So while perusing other people's top 10 lists, I saw that I completely forgot about The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater!! This was DEF one of my favorite reads of 2012, so I'm adding it. I don't care if that makes 11, I do what I want!
11. The Scorpio Races (Maggie Stiefvater)
Ooh very interesting list! Quite a few are books I hope to read one day, and I loved Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Divergent - which made my top 10 list of young adult faves this year.

ReplyDeleteDaughter of Smoke & Bone..YES DO IT READ IT!! SO GOOD!! And the second book Days of Blood & Starlight is just as incredible!

ReplyDeleteEvery Day is really good! I loved it. But I love anything David Levithan produces. Hope you like it too!

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting! :)
DeleteI still have to finish the Summer series. I've been putting it off because I don't want it to end. I am dying to read The Book Thief, and have had it on my shelf for the longest time, but I haven't managed to get to it yet. Hopefully soon! Great list :)

The Book Thief is definately amazing. I mean, a book narrated by death I would expect nothing less. OH MAN I FREAKING LOVED The Summer series!! soo much. I'm most likely going to reread that series come summer. It's just too perfect.
DeleteNice list! Well, I haven't read all of them, but I love DIVERGENT, UNDER THE NEVER SKY and THE BOOK THIEF. I'll have to check out some of the others you suggested.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found your blog :)
Oh my gosh I can't believe it's taken me so long to reply back!! Thanks for stopping by:)
DeleteYES, you KNOW I love seeing Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Days of Blood & Starlight! ;) Same goes for Divergent. The Infernal Devices Series is a must read for 2013 and The Scorpio Races is also on the old reading list! Interesting picks all around, thanks for sharing & for visiting my blog earlier ♥ Happy New Year!
