I’ve read A
LOT of books this year, so many of them awesome for their own reasons, but I’d
be lying if I said it was hard to decide which ones were my favorites. My
favorites were so awesome they made the decision easy. They were the books I
read in a day, neglected home responsibilities for, fangirled over like a 12-year-old,
and recommended to unsuspecting teens browsing my local Chapters. So without further
ado, my favorite books of 2012 are (in no particular order):
1.
Shadow
and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
2.
Under
the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
3.
Cinder
by Marissa Meyer
4.
The
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake
5.
The
Fault in Our Stars by John Green
6.
The
Disenchantments by Nina LaCour
7.
That’s
it. I could force myself to pick ten but then it wouldn’t really and truly be a
list of my absolute favorites.
If you haven’t
already read these books, you should. In fact, do that right now. Drop whatever
you’re doing and read these books. Then come back here and thank me :D
How about
you guys? What were your favorite books of 2012?

DeleteHey Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI also loved Cinder, and The Fault In Our Stars. I loved Anna Dressed In Blood, and I'm eager to check out Girl Of Nightmares. It seems like we have the same taste so I'm taking note of your other picks.
Here are a few of my favs from this year...off the top of my head.
A Million Suns, Beth Revis
The Raven Boys, Maggie Stiefvator
Great post!
Those are both on my TBR list!
DeleteThe ones I haven't read are on my GR tbr! And as you know, I loved Under the Never Sky too.
ReplyDeleteI'm putting Breathe by Sarah Crossan on my list of faves this year.
I have yet to read that one...have to do that ASAP!

DeleteI also absolutely loved Cinder and Under the Never Sky. I haven't read the others yet but they're on my TBR list. I have Shadow and Bone already and plan to start reading tonight. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be recommending The Fault in Our Stars. It was already on my TBR list; now I've finally put in the request at the library.
