Top Ten Favorite Books Read in 2011
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where there is a different list featured every week. Anyone can participate and if you link back to their site you might get a couple extra visitors!
Luckily, I seem to know who my favorites are because I only exceeded the list by one! Picking one to leave out was hard, but I managed to find my absolute top ten. Not in a certain order.
(Not all, probably majority actually, didn't come out this year)
1. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Jace *swoon* what else is there to say? Besides Magnus, who is undoubtably my favorite character ever. So much action in these books.
2. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
This book was different and it grabbed me and wouldn't let go.
3. Beg for Mercy by Shannon Dermott
Soo many boys, loved every minute of this! My first real Succubus book ever too and it's so interesting to learn about Mercy.
4. Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
This just seems how contemporary romances are and I liked that a lot.
5. Divergent by Veronica Roth
Anything about facing your fears is interesting.6. Madly and Wolfhardt by M. Leighton
Jackson is added to top 5 book boyfriends and Madly is a character I love reading about. My first mermaid book and it won't be my last.
7. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Who doesn't love these books?
8. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
So glad I gave in and finally picked this up. This series has so much going on it's hard to be bored (Ok, well maybe in the fourth book a little but I ignore that hehe)9. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
I can't say what it is about this book that I love the series so much, but I know Patch is part of it.
10. Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter
I CANNOT wait for the third book in this series. Derek, Derek, Derek!
Honorable mention to Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. This book was moving and one of personal growth that I've never seen to this magnitude. One I would recommend to anyone, especially high schoolers!
Bad writing can be really annoying, as you said, but I think the romance done badly is overall my most hated thing. It's nice to read a book like The Body Finder which manages to do both of these things well!
