Top Ten Tuesday - Favorite Books Read in 2015

This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They feature a different top ten list every week. This week's topic is favorite books of 2015!

I was not even going to try to limit my favorites to ten. It would be impossible! I cheated and I don't even care. So yeah, these are my top fifteen books of the year (nineteen really, since the last one is a series).







What were a few of your favorite books read this year?

Still time to enter my giveaway for my first blogoversary! Win a book that I have reviewed over the past year AND win a $25 Amazon gift card! Click here to enter.

  1. The Nightingale and The Sea of Tranquility mass my list too. I'll Give You the Sun was on my honorable mentions. I want to read so many of the others you have listed especially since I own Made You Up, All the Rage and More Happy Than Not. Great list!!

    1. Blasphemy! I can't believe you didn't like Sea of Tranquility! Boo! Ha, just kidding. I am sorry to hear that though. I am a black sheep for a couple of books and it kid of sucks when others are seeing something that you just don't. Oh well!

  5. Made You Up and I'll Give You The Sun are also two of my favorite reads this year! I suppose we have similar taste, so I'll check out a few of the other books on your list. :-)

    1. Captivated Reader, yes you do!! I had The Book Thief on my Kindle forever, but didn't read it until this year. I really can't believe it took me so long. It is so amazing!

    1. Carrie, now that every single book from The Lunar Chronicles is out, it is the perfect time. And I was sobbing during The Nightingale. I hope you love them!

    1. Thanks Nicole! I went into it knowing I would have more than ten. Considering the fact that I have read well over 200 books, I think it is amazing that I narrowed it down to nineteen. :)

  11. I agree with quite a few of these (shocking, I know ;) ). Especially Only Ever Yours, Made You Up, Minnow Bly, All We Have is Now, More Happy Than Not.. yes, a very nice list! I need to read Skyscraping so badly, OH and All the Rage too. And The Book Thief, how have I not read that yet!? Fabulous choices :D

    1. Thanks Shannon!! I can't believe you haven't read Skyscraping or All the Rage yet! You really must! I can't believe that I did not read The Book Thief until this year. I am kicking myself because it is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read.

  12. A beautiful list, Cynthia. I recognize a few titles, which I read at your recommendation :) And ... I'll Give You The Sun!

    1. Thanks Ramona! Wasn't I'll Give you The Sun amazing?!? And I am so glad that you have read some of the books I have recommended. That makes me feel so good. :)

  13. Ah, such great books! I'm just finishing Winter now (literally -- I fell asleep with only 30 pages to go, and it's making me bonkers!). I love Sea of Tranquility, The Book Thief, and Two Boys Kissing, and I have to read The Nightingale in the coming year. Looks like you did some amazing reading in 2015!

    1. Lisa, arghhhh, Winter is AMAZING!!! I can't believe you fell asleep with 30 pages left! But I will try to cut you some slack because it is a big book and all that action can be exhausting. I am so glad you agree with some of my picks. I hope you get to The Nightingale sometime soon. It was so beautiful!

  14. I love how The Lunar Chronicles are on literally everyone's list haha - I REALLY need to get to them ASAP. I've only read The Book Thief out of the books on your list, but I enjoyed that one! :)

    1. Thanks Vlora! You do REALLY NEED to read The Lunar Chronicles NOW!! Get to a bookstore or library and then hibernate in your room until you are done! No sleeping allowed until you finish . . . okay, well maybe you can sleep a little. But seriously, read it! Haha

    1. Thanks so much Lyn! Sacred Lies was worth all the hype and so much more. All the Rage was the first of many books that I read by Courtney Summers. She is amazing!
