Top Ten Tuesday + 1 from 2019- Favorite Books of the last ten years (one book per year)


Welcome back! I am in a time crunch today but I still wanted to put this up. As always, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  @thatartsyreadergirl. Every Tuesday, book bloggers gather and make a list of books based on a prompt. Today's topic is Top Ten Favorite Books of the last ten years, one book per year. I know that I discuss most of these books a lot, so I'll be brief with most of these. 

1- 2009 Catch Fire by Suzanne Collins

This is the second book in The Hunger Games Trilogy. The Hunger Games was my introduction to Dystopian  YA, and I am so thankful for this series. I enjoy both the book and the movie.

2- 2010 Mockingjay by Suzanne collins

The final book in The Hunger Games Trilogy also needed to make this list for the reasons I started above. I thought this book was the perfect way to end the series. 

3- 2011 The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I loved this fantasy novel about a circus. This was a book that I read a few years after it came out.  I hadn't really read fantasy before this book, so in a way this was my introduction to the genre. I want to reread this book at some point before the authors new book comes out this year.

4-  2012 Eleanor & Park  by Rainbow Rowell

Are you surprised? I've only read three Rainbow Rowell books and this is my second favorite. I love this YA novel with  romance. I didn't like Eleanor's family all that much, and I was rooting for her.

5-  2013 Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Rather than banging into the ground how much I love this book, I will just say that Cath is one of my favorite character, and I wish that she were real so we could be friends.

6-  2014 To All The boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

I love both the book and the movie! This is such a cute YA story about a teen named Lara Jean who gets her letters sent out by her sister. This leads to her dating one of the boys Peter.

7-  2015 Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli  (Honorable mention- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas)

I couldn't pick just one book for this. I loved Simon because I loved the story and I loved the characters. The other book is the first in a series that I loved.

8- 2016 A court Of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses # 2) by Sarah J. Maas

The second book in the A Court of Thorns  and Roses series. This was one of my favorite books in the series as we know more about the characters. I just love the inner circle so much.

9-  2017 The  Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

A Historical Fiction that I adore. This is about two siblings, Monty and Felicity, who are on a European Tour with Monty's friend Percy. Shenanigans ensue and they must find a way out. 

10-  2018 The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

I probably have another book that came out last year that I loved last year, but this came up pretty high on the Good Reads List I used. I loved this book when I read it earlier this year. I love Jude and I can't wait for November!

Honorable Mention- Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston

This was one of my favorite reads of last year as well! It's an Anastasia Retelling set in space, and it was so good. I loved both Ana and Di.

Bonus!

11- 2019 Romanov by Nadine Brandes

A bonus! My favorite read of 2019 has been Romanov. If you follow me on Good Reads, you saw my glowing review, and updates as I was reading this book. This is a Historical Fiction with a dash of fantasy so the author can tell a different story.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
