1. It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini - This is one of my favorite genres, raw contemporary with no fluff, no sugar coating. This book was fantastic.2. Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins - Wendy Higgins wrote an amazing debut. The writing was incredible and the story unique.
3. Divergent & Insurgent by Veronica Roth - I'm cheating, I know! But these two books are AMAZING!!! Read them. Now!
4. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi - I love this book. Enough said.
5. Gilt by Katherine Longshore - Longshore did a fabulous job in making the reader feel as if they were in the Tudor era.6. Wither by Lauren DeStefano - I love the style of this book. It's creepy and chilling, and completely believable.
7. Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles - This author is amazing. The way she writes her romances is so fantastic and this book was so good!8. Raising Wild Ginger by Tara Woolpy - I have never loved a book like this so much! I still can't stop thinking about it!
9. The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead - SYDNEY! ADRIAN! AGHHHH!
10. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - This is probably a pretty obvious one, but I mean, come on. It's John Green. Of course it was fantastic!
11. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarthy - I had to add this one in because it was just so fabulous! A contemporary that wasn't filled with insta love and cliched problems... This one was real and raw and beautiful.
This is one of the first lists without Harry Potter in it! AGH! Oh well! Guess what? I'm coming home today! I'm sure I'll be super exhausted tomorrow, but I'll try and get some reviews up soon! Leave me a link to your TTT! I'll check it out ASAP!
Happy Tuesday!

I still need to read The Fault in Our Stars! I am way, way behind everyone else on this one. ;) I read It's Kind of a Funny Story quite recently, and enjoyed it, there were some great characters.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely read TFiOS soon! And yeah, I love the characters from IKoaFS!
DeleteI probably should have put TFiOS on my list! I don't know why I didn't. This one was hard for me to narrow down! :) I love all your choices.

I bought TFiOS and still haven't read it! I so have to get started. Great picks; Divergent, Insurgent and Wither are all fab.

ReplyDeleteFabulous list! My list didn't have HP OR The Hunger Games because I read them before I started blogging, but there were so many, I hardly miss them!

I think Harry Potter makes all of my other lists as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great set of books. I think I need to read me some Simone Elkeles! I keep hearing great things about her.
Thanks for sharing :-)
So many great books on your list! I loved Gilt, The Golden Lily and Insurgent. Still haven't read The Fault in Our Stars even though I bought it when it first came out!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my hands on a copy of The Fault in our Stars. It seems that everyone who's read it, loves it.

ReplyDeleteI read The Fault in Our Stars recently, and it's became one of my favorite books! John Green it's an fantastic writer, unfortunately in my country hasn't translated many books of this author.
ReplyDeleteAnother book on your list that I want in my shelf it's Divergent. I heard many compliments about it.
Great list!
