Best
Books I've Read in 2012
1. Splintered by AG Howard.
Yes it releases January 1st
but I read it in 2012 and it was my favorite of the year hands down!!!!!
2. Grave Mercy by RL LaFevers.
This was one fantastic historical fiction with a paranormal twist. I loved
everything about this story! Assassins rock!
3. Shadow and Bone by Leigh
Bardugo. High Fantasy is one of my favorite genres and this makes my Top 10
all-time list!
4. The Crown of
Embers by Rae Carson. Like my 3rd choice this series is on my
all-time list! Rae is an amazing writer and Hector will definitely make my book
boyfriends list!
5. Sweet Evil by Wendy
Higgins. This was the first book of 2102 that I made all of my friends read. I
mean I made them drop whatever they were reading to start this one!
6. Shine by Jeri
Smith-Ready. Such an amazing ending to one of my favorite series. Many tears
were shed.
7. Cinder by Marissa
Meyer. A cyborg Cinderella set in a futuristic world yes please! This book was
awesome!!!!
8. Under the Never
Sky
by Veronica Rossi. One of my favorite dystopian stories hands down and I loved
that it was told in dual POV’s!
9. Masque of The
Red Death by Bethany Griffin. Based on an Edgar Allen Poe tale with an awesome
main character and two equally sexy leading men whom I still can’t choose
between!
10. Unraveling by Elizabeth
Norris. Set in a city near and dear to my heart with some of the best sci-fi
storytelling set in a real world environment. Plus Ben reminds me of Max from Roswell and the
dimension travel reminds me of Sliders J
Honorable
Mentions
Renegade by JA Souders.
A dystopian tale set in a lush underwater world with one of the most evil
villain’s I’ve had the pleasure of reading about!
The Golden Lily by Richelle
Mead. I love Richelle’s books and this one kicked my ass! The ending *gasps*
Onyx by Jennifer L.
Armentrout. I love Jennifer’s books and even though I just recently read Opal.
Onyx was just a little bit more of a favorite.
The Immortal
Rules by Julie Kagawa. Loved this one! Love all of Julie’s books!
For Darkness
Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund. A modern retelling of Jane
Austen’s Persuasion that rocked my world! It was a sci-fi/dystopian that I
adored!

Oh yes! I adore Splintered. The only reason it isn't on my list is because I didn't add 2013's so I gave it an honorable mention instead :) love these picks
ReplyDeleteI think I could have guessed that you would pick all of these books. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL of course you would you know me too well ;)
DeleteAwesome post, awesome books. I absolutely LOVED Grave Mercy - best book ever!!! For Darkness Shows the Stars and Masque of the Red death were really good too! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

Sweet Evil was so good! I remember flying through it. Under the Never Sky was another one I loved too and probably would have made my list, but I read it at the end of 2011. Excellent book though. So excited for the sequel. So many books on your list I have been wanting to read so bad but just haven't had the chance to yet! I will definitely fix that in 2013. Thanks for sharing! :)

ReplyDeleteOh I have only read one of those (Cinder) in your top ten. I have both Cinder and The Immortal Rules in my list.
