Top Ten Books I Read in 2013
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
You know, I went into this list expecting it to be a lot harder to pick. As it turns out, I got REALLY skimpy with my 5 star ratings this year! Wow. That’s just crazy. Here are almost ALL of the books I have 5 stars to this year!
1. Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth
I don’t have this review up yet, but trust me when I do … I will have SO MANY WORDS. Words that I can’t even begin to spell out.
2. Shadows in the Silence (Angelfire #3) by Courtney Allison Moulton
Yet another series ender. I laughed. I cried. I cried a lot, but in all the right ways!
3. Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices #3) by Cassandra Clare
HOW. HOW DID YOU DO THAT CASSIE? I don’t– I can’t– I… I… Yeah. That happened. That was a thing that happened and TALK ABOUT TEARS IN EVERY WAY.
4. Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas
I don’t think I discovered one new author crush bigger than the one I have on Sarah. Seriously. If you like fantasy and haven’t read these yet you are doing it wrong. I’m even making my 400 level YA fantasy seminar read Throne of Glass next semester.
5. Page by Paige by Laura Lee Gulledge
This book doesn’t have a review yet. Actually, it’s also not a book but a graphic novel. Either way, I fell in love with this in so many ways. It was just what I needed right when I needed it.
6. The Cadet of Tildor by Alex Lidell
No book quite captured my thrall quite like this one, right in January too! Once again, I say that all fans of Tamora Pierce and the like should read this book!
7. Mind Games (Mind Games #1) by Kiersten White
I love me some Kiersten White, and of all the books by her that I read this year, this one is by far my favorite. Paranormalcy will always be in my heart, but I think I like this one even better!
8. Asunder (Newsoul #2) by Jodi Meadows
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but that’s not the case with these books! The insides are just as beautiful as the outsides.
9. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I haven’t posted my review of this one yet, either, but I really can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read this. The amount that this book affected me is something that can never be put into words.
10. The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise
Sometimes I like to read something just for some rollicking good fun. That was this book for me!
