So...I've got a lot to say about this post.
ReplyDeleteI AM DYING TO READ LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON AFTER HEARING YOU RAVE.
Totally approve of Stephanie Perkin's being on this list <3
The Distance Between Us and Fangirl were on mine too!
Your last line of contemporaries are all books that I have listed as MUST READS for 2014. ;)
I still have to read Veronica Rossi and Diana Peterfreund! But I approve of the other sci-fi's
SCARLET! <3 I think it's funny you read my copy of LADY THIEF quicker than I did.
I've read all fantasy's but Jay Kristoff which I will read in 2014.
So, all in all, I APPROVE.
I really love The Distance Between Us! Eleanor and Park, These Broken Stars, and few of the other books on your list are on my TBR list! :)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of similar books on my list. Of course, a couple of the ones you have listed (Lady Thief, Cress and Into the Still Blue) I am anxiously awaiting the release dates. It makes me happy to see them on a best-of list though!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Rowell's Attachments made it on my top ten list, with Fangirl in my honourable mentions. It would have been interesting had I read Eleanor & Park this year too xP
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! :) My TTT
You're list kind of made me feel like drooling (is that weird?) because of all the epicness on it. It's nice to see THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY on here since I'm hoping to read it soon (if I'm in the mood for such depth). Awesome list, and Happy New Year!

Premeditated has me intrigued, will read your review. Rainbow R is the ultimate favourite author right now.
ReplyDeleteI love your list for contemporary! Some of it are my favorites too! :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT :)
I APPROVE OF THIS LIST. And especially of Anna and the French Kiss, E&P, IF YOU FIND MEEEEEEEEEEE, These Broken Feels, Cressssssss oh my god, Crown of Midnight, SIEGE. JUST THINKING ABOUT THESE BOOKS MAKES ME DIE A LITTLE. SORRY MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK. BUT NOT REALLY.
ReplyDelete*slowly backs away from the keyboard*
I loved reading Anna too, but it didn't make it to my list. Lola and The Distance Between Us are on my list, and Fangirl and Eleanor & Park are at the top of my 2014 TBR list. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! :D
Top 10 Books I Read in 2013! :)
One Million Pages
I highly approve of this list, despite doing the top 10 week last week I cheated dividing with debuts and the rest and even then I added 20 tops and some honorable mentions... SO MANY AWESOME BOOKS THIS YEAR!
ReplyDeleteSome of your best here are in my TBR list and some are in my "most awaited" list for next year...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I did actually stop at ten (even though I don't know how I managed to choose) and so half of the books on my list are on yours too. So yeah, I definitely approve of this list! I still have SO many on your list I want to read like The Distance Between Us, If You Find Me and Scarlet oh and of course also Into the Still Blue and Cress!!!!!!!!! Since I'm planning to read them next year, I'll probably have an awesome reading year ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO! You read Anna! This makes me so happy as that is one of my FAVORITE books ever! Great list.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT List
Obviously I need to read 'Eleanor and Park'. This is like the umpteenth place I've seen this book. :) Will be on my list for 2014. I also still need to read the Veronical Rossi series. I'm so late! Ditto to Scarlet.
ReplyDeleteAnd Graceling! Amazing book! In fact, I loved the whole series. I keep hoping she'll write more!
Awesome List!! I LOVED Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Fangirl. I also loved Dream Thieves. Several of your other books are on my TBR list as well. I hope you have a wonderful New Years!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/12/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-i-read-in.html
Anna and the French Kiss was such an unexpectedly amazing read! I couldn't believe how much I adored it. YESSSSS, Kasie West! Love her books. If You Find Me is onmy list as well! Judith did good in recommending that to me. Even if it did ruin my life >.< Pivot Point *sobs* AND SIEGE AND STORM OHHH YESSSSS. Your list clearly gets my stamp of approval, Gillian XD
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my lovely!
So many books Gillian! So many books! I needs to read like 20 0f them too, which makes me feel like I failed this year. Oh no! But here's to an awesome list!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Great haul! Lots of amazing books on your list - These Broken Stars made my list too. I really want to read a lot of these, especially Fangirl, Pivot Point, The Archived and the Grisha series. Great picks :) My TTT.
ReplyDeleteSigh, most of these books are books I loved as well. <3 And you got me to order The Impossible Knife of Memory a few days ago :D Hoping I will love it as well. Thank you for sharing. <3 :)
ReplyDeleteAnna and the French Kiss <3 Lola and the Boy Next Door <3 Stephanie Perkins <3<3<3 SO AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteTHIS LIST!!! Seeing Untold, Graceling, and Crown of Midnight about did my heart in! I can not even begin to describe the amount of love I have for these books in particular (which is why I never ended up reviewing ANY of them...I need to suck it up and write something if I'm going to convince the nonbelievers!)
ReplyDeleteSo I clearly failed at 2013 because I only read 3 of the 27 books on your list. Rose Under Fire, Dream Thieves and Siege and Storm. But I loved them all too! I REALLY want Scarlet. And I'm planning a binge read of Rossi's series because that sounds fun.
