Top Books I Read This Year
Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
EEEK THIS IS NOT AN EASY LIST. I’m going to include all of my five-star reads here (obviously) but will also throw in some 4-4.5 if I see fit. Because this is my list and I’ll do it however I want! So there. The topic this week is obviously the top ten books you’ve read this year. You can do it in just 2015 releases, overall, by genre, etc. You know me – I’m going to combine things.
I decided to split this into a few categories but there are still waaaaay more than ten books here. Sorry, I don’t feel too bad. I have a non-YA and a YA category of 5 star reads. Then, there are some “honorable mention” books at the bottom, all coming in at 4.5 stars. I couldn’t bear to look at all the 4 star books because this list would be even longer. Without further ado, here are some of my favorites from this year! [I am not linking to my reviews or Goodreads because it would take foooorever to do and I’m lazy. Just use the search bar if you’re curious 😉 ]

SO many good books on your list! I’m reading Winter right now as an audiobook and loving it – though it’s a bit long (23.5 hours!). But several of my favorites are also on your list. 🙂
Yeah I was thinking of Winter via audio but the length scared me! haha
So many books! Emmy & Oliver and Winter are in my top 10 as well. I need to read some of these others.
I couldn’t help it!
Oh yay! So many of your favorites are in my TBR! I’m reading Meant to Be right now and I picked up Maybe in Another Life on Black Friday!

If I had read more, I wold have no doubt tried to make my list bigger. You have some awesome books on this list, so it’s all worth it haha! All the Bright Places, P.S. I Still Love You, and Saint Anything made my list today, too. I also really loved The Program, Meant to Be, and My Life Next Door, though I didn’t read those this year.
