I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday. Today there are two things happening here. One, I've decided to join in the fun of the Top 10 Books of 2011, where for the next couple of days we'll be posting list of our top 10 favorite books, boys, heroines, and others. Today I've done my list and put quotes to my reviews beside them so you can all read just how much I loved and died for these books. Two, today starts my Getting Ready for 2012 Giveaway! So spread the word my lovelies and participate!
by Veronica Roth
Divergent is Best Debut Novel this year. A truly original world full of action, intrigue, important lessons, and the unspoken yet firm command to take action and be courageous ourselves. more...
by Tahereh Mafi
8 hours reading, 1 amazing novel, 100 moments or more that shattered me...I could read this book over and over again just to swim among Juliette’s words and thoughts. Soul shattering romance, fast paced action, and mysteries to uncover... more...
3. If I Die
by Rachel Vincent
I’ve been pinning for this book since it came out last month, because I knew it would blow my mind. I just didn’t realize how much. To say that this book is amazing is not enough. The writing, the plot, the characters (good ones and evil ones alike), the freaking rollercoaster of emotions! It was breathtaking. All of it. more...
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
If there is one word for this book is STEAMY. It’s all fiery personalities, melt-my-bones-hot male lead, and the supernova explosions that come off from each of their encounters. more...
5. The Iron Knight
by Julie Kagawa
The Iron Knight is the perfect conclusion to the Iron Fey series. A story of love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and acceptance, with an ending that will have you crying, grinning from ear to ear and doing a happy dance all the same time. more...
by Tera Lynn Childs
This is another fan-freaking-tastic mythology themed YA novel. A must read for everyone! It’s too long a wait for the sequel but I’ll be counting every day until its release. The Medusa girls have just started their adventure in this first installment, and they’re sure to bring in more action (and hopefully more romance) in Sweet Shadows (Medusa Girls 2)! more...
7. Shade
by Jeri Smith-Ready
I was hesitant to read this series, since it’s about ghosts and I so don’t like ghosts. So I was pleasantly surprised when not only did I like it, but I couldn’t put it down. I became so immersed in the story that every joy and pain the characters suffered was a pain and joy I shared. I would recommend this book to anyone in a heartbeat. more...
by Amy Plum
I don’t have enough words to express how much I loved this novel. Captivating prose, beautiful setting (Paris!), well worked plot, interesting characters and mythology/folklore. I don’t think there is anything else I could ask for, except MORE! more...
9. Tempest Legacy
by Nicole Peeler
I really love this series; it has everything I look for in a story: wit, suspense, lots of cursing, romance, and just the right amount of – as Jane calls it – nookie. In this third book Jane deals with grief and anger, and realizes that she is not longer the weak girl she started out as. Nicole Peeler has created a really created a wonderful character in Jane True. I’ve seen her grow throughout the series and it just makes her seem more real and relatable. more...
