Best Books So Far: 2015


Hello Lovelies!!

It's been a really long time since I've done a Top Ten Tuesday! I got caught up in the whirlwind of summer classes and an internship (and technically I should be writing a paper right now, shhhh don't tell my mom.), but I'm back for this week! As always, Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

Top Ten Best Books I've Read So Far in 2015


Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
A Darker Shade of Magic
Shadow Scale
Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy


Fortunately, the Milk
The Walls Around Us
Throne of Glass
Vision in Silver


El Deafo
To All the Boys I've Loved Before/P.S. I Still Love You

And those are the best books I've read so far this year!! It's been a good reading year, but I actually haven't had very many stellar reads. I had to go back and see what I read to find 10, and then I was like oh yeah! That was great! But it wasn't like last year where I knew several books would be on the list without even checking.

What about you, lovelies?? What great books have you read this year? Any on my list? Any you think I should check out?

    Great list! I've not read any of these but I'm hoping to read Throne of Glass and The Walls Around Us this summer.

      They were both so good in different ways! The Walls Around Us was creepy and beautifully written, but it just stuck with me. And Throne of Glass is so exciting. I really enjoyed the whole series and cannot wait for the next book this fall.

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
