This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, is: Top Ten Best Books I Read In 2015.
1. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. I loved pretty much everything about this book. The relationships, the humor, the drama.
2. Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo. I looooved this book! The characters are amazing. Kaz Brekker FOREVER.
3. Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin. Probably the best suspense I’ve read all year – or ever, really. Read this book!
4. The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. This was probably my biggest surprise of the year. I really didn’t expect much from it and ended up really loving it!
5. The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West. West continues to be my favorite YA Contemporary author. Her books are always so adorable and this was no exception.
6. A Good Killing (Anna Curtis #4) by Allison Leotta. Though this is the 4th book in the series, it introduced me to the wonderful writing of Allison Leotta and this series has quickly become one of my all time favorites.
7. First & Then by Emma Mills. Another book that surprised me by how much I enjoyed it. It was one of those books that I just wanted to keep reading forever.
8. I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent #1) by Barry Lyga. Jasper Dent is such an interesting, compelling character and he really made this book.
9. Oblivion (Lux 1.5) by Jennifer Armentrout. I love the Lux series and I love Daemon Black and this is a wonderful addition to the series that I never expected, but always wanted.
10. Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer. This was a fantastic end to the series and I just loved it so much!
Stephanie's Book Reviews 
I really want to read something by Kasie West. What book would you recommend I start with?
I really liked The Fill-in Boyfriend and On the Fence. Just keep in mind that the main characters in those books don’t always start out the most likable, but they really grow. If you like paranormal, her Pivot Point series is pretty good, too!
I LOVE paranormal. Thanks for the recommendations!
I’ve seen the six of crows book on a lot of people’s lists. I’m gonna have to check it out.
You should! It actually lives up to the hype.
I wasn’t that big of a fan of The Wrath And The Dawn, but Six Of Crows, I Hunt Killers, Winter? YES!! I absolutely loved those three books and I’m sure they will be on my 2015 favorites list as well. Big Little Lies, Black-Eyed Susans and First & Then are high on my wishlist. 😀
Aw really? I thought the wrath and the dawn was surprisingly good. I’m glad we agree on some others though!
It’s not that I didn’t like it, but it took me a long time to get a proper feel for the story and the foreign names and places were distracting. I really enjoyed the second part though!
Completely in agreement with you about Black-Eyed Susans. I thought that I’d enjoy it, but I ended up liking it even more than I expected.
Yeah it completely passed my high expectations. I’ve been trying to push this book in everyone this year.
Great choices!
Thanks!
I enjoyed both The Wrath and the Dawn and the Fill-In Boyfriend (thanks for the rec, btw, it was nice to read something a little different than what I’m used to) and of course, I share your love for Six of Crows!
Yay I’m glad you liked The Fill-in Boyfriend! I think Six of Crows is going to fill the void in our lives when The Raven Cycle ends.
Oh, don’t say it! I think I’m going to cry. How will I love without Blue and the boys?
Lots of re-reads!
I’m still trying to round up my Top Ten! To be honest, I don’t think I have a Top Ten, more like a Top Five ha ha! Yeah, 2015 wasn’t as marvelous as I had hoped it would – be in terms of books that is! In any case, I’m so glad these lovely books brought a bit bliss into your life 🙂 I’m looking forward to reading Six of Crows for sure!
I’m sorry your reading year wasn’t great! Mine wasn’t quite as good as I’d like it to be either – I had A LOT of middle of the road books. Here’s to a better 2016 for both of us!
Black Eyed Susans was pretty good. I’ve really been wanting to read I Hunt Killers since it came out. I may have to move it up my TBR now.
You should! The rest of the series weren’t quite as enjoyable for me as the first one, but it’s definitely an interesting concept and the main character is so intriguing.
