My most favorite books for 2012 are...
1. PUSHING THE LIMITS by Katie McGarry
Echo and Noah's stories where so tragic, their love just made sense...
I love books that can give you the big feels right from the start!
Oh my, sniff... this story ripped my heart out!
Yes, it starts out a bit slow, BUT, once things start moving along...
Tiger Lily, Tick Tock, Peter Pan, The Lost Boys...
Oh, Tick Tock! Peter!!!... such a bittersweet ending.
This is one of those books that will be re-read, over and over again...
loved it so much!
THIS is how you do an Angel story!
It's got everything -
kick-ass heroines, love story, awesome plot, amazing writing, etc.
Can't wait for the 3rd book, Emblaze!!!
4. EVERNEATH by Brodi Ashton
OMG, JACK!!!
The ending, it nearly killed me! But it was SO good, it couldn't have ended in any other way!
I NEED to read Everbound as soon as it is released!
I need to know what happens to Jack... and if worse comes to worse,
maybe I can save him ;)
And Alethea Kontis was able to take almost all of my favorite fairytales and entwine them together into one magical book!
I am so excited to read the rest of the series (6 more!!!) and see what other stories she will use to tell the tales of the other characters.
This author has become one of my all-time favorites!
And THIS series is the main reason why!!!
I don't ever want this to end! Not only because of Daemon {giggle},
but because the whole series and story-line is just fabulous!!!
I never thought I would love aliens so very much ;)
7. ALICE IN ZOMBIELAND by Gena Showalter
I am super surprised when this one instantly popped into my head for my top 10 list, lol!
The whole zombie-twist that Gena Showalter came up with really impressed me - and all the bits and references to 'Wonderland' were brilliantly done!
I am really looking forward to book 2, Through the Zombie Glass next year :)
I have never had much luck with high-fantasy books...
that is, until I read Shadow and Bone!
It is by far one of the best fantasy books I have ever read!
And I am so very excited for book 2, Siege and Storm, to be released!!!
This is the first book that I read when I started book blogging;
it's also the first book signing I went to too :)
I love everything about this book -
the author, the cover, the story, the twist towards the end...
I am always recommending this one!
One that I will always recommend to people of all ages to read.
The emotions I went through while reading this one...
I can only imagine what others went through in school.
And some that still go through.
It is a definite must read!
And I adore the author and will always pick up her books without any hesitations!

This was my first Lauren Oliver book!
Yes, I know that it is a middle grade book -
and it is definitely on my list and worth mentioning!
The world building, writing and story-line was so unique and amazing!
I will definitely be shelving this one on my 'classic shelf' and hope to see it labeled so in the future.
That's my Top 10 for 2012!!!
What are some of your favorites???
Great list! I haven't read Spindlers yet, but I've heard such great things about it. And I LOVED Everneath too -- it was such a surprisingly good read for me, since I knew next to nothing about the story when I picked up the book. And the cover is absolutely GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed most of these books. My favorites from your list include Obsidian, Onyx, Keep Holding On,THE CATASTROPHIC HISTORY OF YOU AND ME, and Pushing the Limits. I still need to read Shadow and Bone.

ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm definitely adding Tiger Lily to my to read pile after all the love I've been seeing for it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my My Top Ten 2012
Great list! A few of your picks are also on my list. I especially loved Tiger Lily, I didn't expect to like that book as much as I did. Pushing The Limits also surprised me and got me to really start reading contemporaries.
ReplyDeleteEmily @ Falling For YA
I loved Pushing the Limits and I've heard great great great things about Tiger Lily. I hadn't heard of #9 before, but it looks really good. I love the cover. Happy reading in 2013!
ReplyDeleteI must read Pushing the Limits. Everyone seems to love it. I want to read Shadow and Bone and Keep Holding on, as well.
ReplyDeleteI think Pushing the Limits is one of those books that even people who usually don't like Contemporaries will like. Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
