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.

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...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...
