2014 is finally here if you can believe it (I can’t!). In some ways, 2013 was the longest year and in others it flew by. It was definitely a year of challenges, but it ended a lot better than it started.
PLUS, I found my place in the world when I came into this blog. So, I can’t help but be thankful for that. Here’s a little review about 2013, as well as my look forward to 2014!
It’s Top 10 Tuesday (hosted at The Broke and the Bookish) and the topic is:
Top Ten Books of 2013
I’ve gotta say it was hard to narrow down my favorite 10 books of this year (since I’ve already read 135, I had a large pool to choose from). However, I was (almost) able to do it with a couple of runner ups.
So, without further ado…
My Top Ten Books of 2013
1. Incarnate
This series BLEW ME AWAY! I had never read anything like this before and it opened the door to more fantasy/reincarnation books in my repertoire.
2. Clockwork Princess (The infernal Devices)
This entire series made me swoon, but I was really impressed with this last title. ❤
3. Throne of Glass
Assassin Cinderella for the win! I’m so excited about Crown of Midnight, I sometimes dream about it.
4. The Mortal Instruments Series
I have to admit, the writing in the first book started off shakey, but the series got great as it went along. And the story was AMAZING!
5. Shades of Earth
Amazing conclusion to a fabulous sci-fi series. This is the series to give to people who ‘don’t like’ sci-fi. They won’t be able to say that afterwards!
6. The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Ahh, another fantasy/girl kicks butt book series. The world building was incredible, and the main character was flawed — Rae Carlson is awesome at her job!
7. Free Souls
If you haven’t read this amazing series by Susan Kaye Quinn, go buy now! The best part is book 1 is FREE!
8. With All My Soul
This was one of the most gut-wrenching books I’ve read in a long time. Seriously cried for days after I finished. Incredible. ❤
9. Unravel Me
X-men meets Hunger Games.
10. Requiem
Even though I was disappointed in the end (I wanted more finality!), this is an incredible series! This book left me in a daze for a few days.

And because I don’t follow rules well, here are a few others that deserve attention!
The runners up:
There
This two-part series was awesome! Here/There is recommended for fans of Hunger Games, Enclave, and anyone who likes parallel universes.
Hurt
This little indie series was creeptastic fun. Just be sure to keep your lights on if you read it in the dark!
The Summer I Became a Nerd
Maybe light-hearted, but this book just really made me heart warm and fuzzy. Comic Books, LARPing, and learning that your true self is more important than popularity.
So, what books are on YOUR list?
Meaningful books that entertain.
My blog is basically reviews of books that I have read and feel like others would enjoy. Feel free to contact me in exchange for honest reviews
