Top Ten Tuesday: My Favorite Books of The Year (So Far!)

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.  I'm excited to participate; after all, I make lists FOR EVERYTHING!  This week it's a freebie, so since the year is halfway over, I decided that I would share my favorite books of the year....so far!  I'm not limiting it to books that were published in 2012- it's open to any book that I've read this year. And in no particular order.......


1.  Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood - one of my favorite debuts


2.  Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard - a great read if you love to travel


3.  Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins - a fantastic paranormal


4.  The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - one of my favorite paranormal reads of the year


5.  Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson - this is heartbreakingly good and one of my favorite contemporary reads


6.  Until I Die by Amy Plum - A fantastic fantasy series


7.  Dreamless by Josephine Angelini - One of my favorite fantasy series that includes mythology

8.  Gilt by Katherine Longshore - one of the best historical reads of the year

9.  Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick - Another great fantasy series involving angels


10.  My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick - one of my favorite contemporary reads of the year


What do you think of my list? What have been your favorite reads this year so far? Let me know!

  6. Awesome list! I still haven't read Wanderlove or Born Wicked but I wasn't a fan of Mara! My Life Next Door was great though!

  7. These all sound so good! Thanks for sharing this great list :}. You might also enjoy J. Thomas Shaw's new medical thriller, The Rx Factor, which is fast-paced and very believable. You can find the author's website here: http://www.therxfactor.com/
