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...

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
