I had no idea just how many amazing books I have read this year until I had to compile this list. If it is this hard now, I have no idea how hard it will be at the end of the year.
1. The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer - Yes, I am aware that I am cheating because this is three books in one. #Sorrynotsorry
2. Black Iris by Leah Raeder
3. All The Rage by Courtney Summers
4. The Princess Bride by William Goldman
5. Only Ever Yours by Louise O'Neill
6. I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
7. You (You #1) by Caroline Kepnes
8. Skyscraping by Cordelia Jensen
10. Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas
What are a few of your favorite books (so far) from 2015?
Everyone seems to be raving about I'll Give You the Sun... I should add this one to my reading wishlist.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post for this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2015/06/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-ive-read.html
Oh yes you really must! It is so good!
DeleteBecause You'll Never Meet Me was on my list too!! I think the majority of these are on my TBR still. I'll Give You the Sun and Cinder are soon on my list and I can't wait. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! Because you'll never meet me was SO good! I really think you will love I'll Give You The Sun. And if it's possible, every single book in the Lunar Chronicles series just gets better and better.
DeleteAll The Rage. I need to read that book soon. I bought it! What is my problem? I'm missing out on all the good books!
ReplyDeleteYES, Jazmen, you do! Actually all books by Courtney Summers are amazing!
DeleteThe Lunar Chronicles is one of my favourite Sci-Fi series ever! Unfortunately I really hated Because You'll Never Meet Me, but I'm glad you enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteOh Sophie, I am so sorry you hated it. Too bad. But yes, The Lunar Chronicles is AMAZING!! I can't believe it took me so long to read it.
DeleteGreat list! Thanks for sharing. I need to read several of these. The Lunar Chronicles is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top 10 for the year
And here's a a $30 giveaway at Aamazon
Thanks Danica!
DeleteGreat list! I hope to get around to the other books in the Lunar Chronicles at some point xD
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
electictales11, oh you really should! The only one I haven't read is Fairest, which is basically a prequel anyway. If possible, every single book gets better and better. I can't wait until Winter comes out!
DeleteI've got so many of these on my TBR!
ReplyDeleteKwizgiver, I hope you get to them! :)
DeleteGreat picks! I haven't read The Princess Bride in years. Need to give that one a re-read. :)

I LOVE The Princess Bride, the movie. But I had never read the book until a few months ago. I loved it so much!
DeleteOh, Cynthia, I love your list! Haven't got around to read All The Rage, which is something I regret very much. Will do though :) July is the month for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona. I really hope you get to it soon. It was so good!
DeleteI'm planning to get to Only Ever Yours really soon! I think I'm going to love it! I love how YA books are tackling important and difficult issues.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
Thanks Mallory! I hope you love Only Ever Yours as much as I did!
DeleteI adore The Princess Bride, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely recommend seeing the film as well! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Oh yes Rosy, the movie was AMAZING!! That is one of the few movies where I saw the movie without reading the book. I am so glad I finally read the book. It was amazing!
DeleteI can't wait to read I'll Give You The Sun and The Lunar Chronicles. This is a good list!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT
Thanks so much Teisha!
DeleteYay! Amazing list. I really enjoyed Only Ever Yours as you know from stopping by my blog. Thank you for visiting!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Chrissi!
DeleteI have because you'll never meet me to read this month and am excited to pick it up. Great picks.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT http://readingawaythedays.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/top-ten-books-ive-read-so-far-in-2015.html
Thanks Megan! I hope you LOVE it!! I know I did!! :)
DeleteNice picks. Your list is filled with books I am really excited to read, so I am happy to here you enjoyed them all. I read and really enjoyed Black Iris this year, I was so close to including that one on my list. Here's my TTT.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Charnell!
DeleteGreat picks! I really want to read Only Ever Yours and You!! Definitely need to move them up the TBR!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Thanks Eva! Yes, you really do! :)
DeleteArgh, my comment just disaapeared. Oh well... all I said the 1st time around is that this is a totally fun list! I love The Lunar Chronicles, of course, and The Princess Bride is always awesome. I hope your 2nd half of the year is filled with many more great books!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much bookshelffantasies!
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles series! It's so imaginative, and I love the characters and I ship everyone xD Ooh All The Rage sounds like such a thought-provoking and emotional read. Nice picks!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ A Perfection Called Books
Thanks Rachel! I know, I love every single relationship in those books. The whole series is just amazing.
DeleteI haven't actually compiled a list of my favourite 2015 reads yet, but I intend to soon!
ReplyDeleteI love that you included I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN. It's such a gorgeous book, and I'm pretty sure it will make it to my list. I loved absolutely everything about it. Everything.
And it's great to see BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER MEET ME, too! I loved that book, as well. I love letters, and the fact that it was written entirely in letters was super awesome. And the character growth during the book was amazing.
I have yet to read BLACK IRIS, but have been meaning to. I've heard some pretty great things about it PLUS it's NA LGBT, which I am super keen for.
I also really need to read CRESS because I've read and loved the first two Lunar Chronicles books, and have heard that CRESS is the best yet. Eep!
Thanks Chiara! Yes, you need to read Cress RIGHT NOW!! If possible, every single book is better than the last. So yes, that one is the best yet . . . until Winter comes out anyway. Ha
DeleteOnly Ever Yours! YESSS. I'll Give You the Sun was fabulous too! And I MUST read All the Rage and Because You'll Never Meet Me! They both sound amazing! OH and Skyscraping! And the one with the letters- whatever that long title is ;) I really do want to read Black Iris too- I think. It seems like people either LOVE it or HATE it. I wish to love it! Fabulous list!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Thanks Shannon! I really hope you love Black Iris. You are right though, there doesn't seem to be very much middle ground with that one. And of course, Skyscraping . . . I have been fangirling about that one all over the place. :)
DeleteYes for the Lunar Chronicles! And YOU! That book deserves so much more exposure than it gets! It was one of the most incredible books I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteLaura, YES YOU was AMAZING!!! When I read it this year, I was fangirling all over the place about it (still am). Did you know a sequel is coming out later this year? September, I think. So excited!!
