I am very excited to be joining in the Top 10 of 2012 hosted by these blogs: Lisa from A Life Bound By Books, Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic, Jaime from Two Chicks on Books Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads
Every day this week, I will post a top 10 list. I hope you enjoy seeing what I have chosen!
Today I'm happy to share with you The Best Books I've Read in 2012! In all honesty this was REALLY hard for me. There are so many books I want to list here, and to pick just 10, well, you can imagine my pain! I read so many great books this year. But I certainly have a few that stick out, so here it goes (in no particular order, of course and the pix are clickable to take you to the summary on Goodreads):
1. Diety (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
2. Divergent (Divergent #1) by Veronica Roth
3. Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh Mafi
4. Pandemonium (Delirium #2) by Lauren Oliver
5. Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices #2) by Cassandra Clare
6. A Demon Made Me Do It (Demonblood #1) by Penelope King
7. Lacrimosa (Requiem #1) By Christine Fonseca
8. Crux by Julie Reece
9. After Dark (The 19th Year Book 1) by Emi Gayle
10. Ember (Death Collectors #1) by Jessica Sorensen
These books I loved and I'm mentioning but they don't come out until 2013 and I didn't want to include them on my list because I wanted to keep it to books released in 2012:
Splintered By A.G. Howard. Set to release January 1, 2013, I was fortunate enough to get an eARC of this book. You MUST read this one. It is PHENOMENAL!
The Archived (The Archived #1) by Victoria Schwab. I read the sneak peek of this book through Net Galley and was so enthralled I contacted the author for an ARC. AND THEY SENT ME ONE! I could not put this book down. You must must must read it. It is just full of such AWESOMENESS! You can hear from Victoria if you stop by my blog later this week, she's coming for an interview!
Have you read any of these books? Would you like to? What are some of the best books you've read this year?

ReplyDeleteAnd I'm definitely going to run and go check out Archived ;)
