About Me
I read. A lot. Mostly whatever YA novels the library has on hold for me that week. Sometimes grown-up books if my book club makes me.

lol I did the same thing this week. It was so hard to choose ten so then I made a list of “special mentions” afterwards, which I’m sure ballooned the whole list to twenty…but anyways, great list! =D
Here’s my TTT for this week =)

Yeah, I cheated too – and had a hard time narrowing down the list as it was! Fabulous choices – we have Such a Rush, Divergent, and TFiOS in common. Amy & Roger and Unearthly are a couple I wish I had on my list, and I can’t wait to read Wanderlove soon.

I have to be the only blogger out there who didn’t like Brightly Woven!:P I actually don’t have any books in common with you, but Wanderlove and The Scorpio Races would definitely have made my Top 20!

I’ve been seeing Throne of Glass popping up everywhere. I have my own copy, but I haven’t read it yet – though I’m dying to! I absolutely loved Divergent, too, and I loved the audio version of Delirium.

Amy & Roger and The Boyfriend List were both on my list this week, too. I still need to read Lola and the Boy Next Door, I loved Anna and the French Kiss but I haven’t got around to buying a copy of Lola yet!

There is no way I could have picked only 10, either. I think our lists would look similar, though a little less fantasy and a little more contemporary

Yes! For Darkness Shows the Stars is great, and I feel like it is underrated on the book blog world- happy to see it among these great reads.

I should have just gone ahead and picked 20 (or 50). It was so hard to narrow 400ish books down to ten. I felt bad every time I slashed through a beloved favorite like Shatter Me, Lola, Divergent, Incarnate, Throne of Glass… You had the right idea, girl! Great list!

Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know said:
I LOVE Vampire Academy and Richelle Mead, but I read those before I started blogging so they didn’t make my list. Divergent, The Scorpio Races, and Graffiti Moon are great adds and I really enjoyed those too.
Most of the others on your list are on my TBR list. I MUST read The Fault in our Stars.
Great list! If I had been blogging longer I probably would have had to cheat too.
Check out my TTT if you have time.

Love your post. I’ll admit I have read exactly none of the books on your list, but “Throne of Glass” looks interesting.
I’m actually an author as well as a blogger. Looking for good readers to let me know their thoughts on my work or the work of my fellow authors. If you’re at all interested, I’d be willing to supply a digital copy of one of our novels. Pick one out at engenbooks dot com if interested. I write YA thrillers.
Again, love the post.
