TOP TEN TUESDAY


This meme features weekly "Top Ten" lists and is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.  I read 101 books this year.  That's a lot of books!!  So many wonderful reads, it was nearly impossible to narrow the list to 10--though I had no doubt what my number one would be :-).

1.  Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
 
 
Hands down my favorite read of the year, one of my top five books EVER!!  I fell in love with Eleanor; I fell in love with Park.  I fell in love with their story a million times over.
This book was everything.  Everything.
 
2.  Lover At Last by J. R. Ward
 
 
The Warden came through again with a vengance!  Also my longest read of the year, 696 pages of BDB goodness :-).  Qhuinn + Blay = <3
 
3.  The Brigerton Series by Julia Quinn
 
 
I loved this entire series (favorites were books 3, 4 and 7).
 
4.  Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
 
 
Another example of how A-Freaking-Mazing Rainbow is.  Loved Cath and Levi!!
 
5.  What I Did For A Duke by Julie Anne Long
 
 
Such an unexpectedly fantastic plot and characters.  And the romance!!  Loved it!
 
6.  Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
 
 
Mercy Thompson, one of my favorite series by an author I can't get enough of.  Briggs always delivers :)
 
7.  The Jessica Darling Series (books 1 & 2)  by Megan McCafferty
 
 
Jessica Darling was unforgettable and absolutely hilarious in this YA contemporary.
 
8.  Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
 
 
The sequel to Throne of Glass, and again, Maas delivers in a huge way!
 
9.  Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
 
 
Two words: Finny Boone <3
 
 
 
These books are part of the same series, so technically, I didn't cheat lol!  Ian Mackenzie was unlike any other character I've read.  He was so unique and appealing.  And then Cameron's book combined two of my favorite characters, and I loved the plot.  A really great series!
 
Have you read any of these?  If not, I'd totally recommend them ;).  I'm looking forward to seeing your favorites!

STACKING THE SHELVES (10)

Hi everyone! Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  I got some terrific books this week--including Ward's newest installment in the Black Dagger Brotherhood and Briggs's latest Mercy Thompson novel.  Doesn't get much better than that ;).


List of Books: Lover At Last by J.R. Ward (it's FINALLY here!)
                        Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
                        Dualed by Elsie Chapman
                        The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
                         Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza
                         Dark Triumph by R.L. LaFevers

Got some really awesome books this week.  A couple debuts (which I'm itching to dive into), and everything in my pile looks good.  But for me, it's all about BDB :-).

 
QHUAY!!  Y'all I devoured this one.  I've been waiting forever like everyone else for this pair to finally get their book, and let me tell you: The Warden did not disappoint ;).  No spoilers here; if you wanna know more, you're just going to have to pick it up--or wait for my review lol.  (Note: This is a very adult series, so...yeah.  Not recommended for young readers.)  I truly LOVE the characters in BDB, and the writing, and the romance, and the bad assery, and just...everything.  Review to come, like I said, and excited about all of these great books!

How did you guys make out?  Get anything good?  I hope so :-).
