This is the second time I join the Top 10 of 2012 event, and one would think it gets easier to pick your favorites - it doesn't. Making this list and choosing the order was extremely hard, and I still feel like crying over certain books I wasn't able to mention but, I made it.
Here it is, My top 10 Best Books I've read in 2012
1- Wake by Abria Mattina. Insanely long and insanely good. Amazing characters, amazing story. There is absolutely nothing else I could've asked for from this book. A must read.
2- This is Not A Test by Courtney Summers. Her best book to date. If you haven't read anything from Courtney Summers then.... O_O
3- Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. Yes, I am a Beautiful Disaster fangirl. I could re-read and re-read and re-read this book forever and never get tired :3
4- Cut by Patricia McCormick. This book was so simple and so short, but right to the point. It was realistic and straightforward. A real gem, and a must read for anyone who wants to understand self-harm or has has troubles with it.
5- Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clara. Oh. My. God. Felt ALL the feelings here, even better than Clockwork Angel. Just... Wow, I love this series ten times more than The Mortal Instruments.
6- Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley. This is an excellent novel, and if I ever write something, I can only hope it'll be as good as this one. Must read for anyone.
7- Easy by Tammara Webber. Best New Adult/Young Adult Contemporary Romance I've read to date. It was fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone that likes this genre.
8- Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover. Yes, both count as one - don't judge me. These stories were just so... beautiful, and heart-warmers, and... *sigh*
9- First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky. Like I said in my review, not an epic love story, but I got so much out of this novel. It shall always have a special place in my heart.
10- Painted Blind by Michelle A. Hansen. I really think this one deserves a place in the Top 10, it wasn't lifechanging or anything but it was so surprising, such an adventure, romance, everything. It wasn't what I had in mind, it was 100 times better. An intense, fun and adventurous novel.
I've seen This Is Not A Test everywhere as the best book of 2012. I really need to start that one! Great reads for this year! : )
ReplyDeleteI totally agre with you about the ones I've read! This Is Not A Test, Easy, Beautiful Disaster! All amazing! And OMG Clockwork Prince! Definitely one of the best of Cassandra Clare's books to date. I also love that series more than TMI!

I've read Beautiful Disaster, easy and Slammed. You've got some titles I've not seen before and they all look really good!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see Clockwork Prince on here! And you're right: ten times better than TMI!
ReplyDeleteI meant to get to Graffiti Moon last year, but ran out of time. I'll make sure I get to it soon. Thanks for the recommendation!
