Super Favoritisticexpialidocious!



TT1 TT2 TT3 TT4 TT5

  • In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters: I can not even believe this book was a debut novel! It just stunned me by how wonderfully written it was! It’s one of those books that could prove to any hater that YA def. has some gems!
  • This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers: This is the first book I read by Summers and have since read and loved all her others, too. She’s just that kind of author who was born to write (I want to add “for me” :P)!

 

TT6 TT7 TT8 TT9 TT10

  • Sins & Needles by Karina Halle: This book made me a forever-fan of this author. It’s the kind of (rare for me) read where you think about the story and characters constantly even when you’re not reading it, as if they were really living.
  • Vicious by V.E. Schwab: The writing in this book is what makes it stand out from all the others in its genre. It’s addicting and dark and twisted and I just loved it!
  • Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake: While I was a big fan of book 1, this sequel was in another level completely for me. This is the book I often think about when the talk of endings come up. I found this ending to be so perfectly executed for what this story is meant to be!
  • Sunrise by Mike Mullin: This is another of my favorite endings in a series ever. This whole story, from book 1, was just so intense, yet paced in a way that really made you fall in love with the characters.

What are some of your favorite books EVER?

Favorite genre fail!

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson: I hear this is like the best contemporary book! I have only read 1 book by this author years ago, actually, (Wintergirls) I really have to fix this situation! >.< The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen: Of all of Dessen’s books, this is the one that people keep recommending to me. I have read one of her most recent books and really enjoyed it, so I def need to read more of hers! Stolen by Lucy Christopher: I can’t even recall how many times I was told I should read this. I guess it’s a…

Whoops! I meant to read these!

This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner: Okay so this one is not super late, yet, seeing as it only came out a couple of weeks ago. But I had totally planned to read it during my vacation >.< Talon by Julie Kagawa: I was actually really excited to finally read a book by Kagawa when I got this at BEA. Fail, again. Me and her just don’t seem to ever synchronize! The Mesmerized by Rhiannon Frater: Dude! Y’all know by now Rhiannon is my girl, and I can’t believe I allowed this one to slip…

Debut Author Lovin’!

Even When You Lie to Me by Jessica Alcott: Oh, taboo love! I’m a sucker for unconventional romances, and teacher/student romance falls into that – unless it’s creepy or the age gap is way big, then no. But I’m curious about this one. The Night We Said Yes by Lauren Gibaldi: I just grabbed this one off EW and was checking out the early reviews earlier – people are loving it so far and it sounds like a great romance. Spanning over the course of one night, too. Scarlett Undercover by Jennifer Latham: Being used to adult mysteries, YA mysteries can…

Winter in Books!

Shutter by Courtney Alamera: You all know (or you will now) how much I love horror and creepy books in general, and this one has been catching my eye for a while but I’m definitely stoked ever since Faye read it and loved it and made me want to read it right meow! I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios: I loved Heather’s Something Real and have been dying for a new contemp from her so this one is def high on my winter TBR list! The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma: I recently read Nova’s Imaginary Girls which…

The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters: I love love loooooved In the Shadow of Blackbirds from Cat which I read a few months ago, and I just know this will be another epic read! Plus, that cover = awesome!  Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future by A.S. King: While I have only read 2 A.S. King books, they were both great, so I have no doubt she’s written another must-read, here! I also met A.S. at BEA and she’s just a sweetheart!  A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray: This will be my first Claudia Gray book! I’ve heard…

Author lovin’ fail!

Colleen Hoover: I read Hopeless maybe a year or so ago, and I loved it so hard and immediately bought all of her other books (at the time), but I still haven’t read any of them. I know I would love them too just by the reviews and my feelings towards this one. #FailIsMe V.E. Schwab/Victoria Schwab: I reeeeeallly want to read the Archived by Schwab, and even more so ever since I read this one and saw how much of an incredible writer she is. Dude! I even swore in my review I was going to read the Archived next!…

Back to school in style!! Jenni

Bridget Jones from Bridget Jones’s Diary: This girl is a hot mess and I feel like she would provide hours and hours of endless entertainment.  I love her crass, sassy attitude! Georgia from the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson Series: Clearly I am going for funny in the beginning here because this is another girl that leaves me laughing my ass off! This series is so adorable and anyone looking for a good giggle should read it and ignore that horrible, horrible cover. Katniss from…
