This year I had to DNF two books. I rated five books with one star. I rated thirteen books with two stars. I rated fifteen books with three stars. I rated nineteen books with four stars. I rated thirty four books with five stars. I'm pretty happy about that. Though, well. I didn't love nearly enough books this year. How rude. Next year I will read much more books that will be amazing. I hope. Crossing all my fingers. But either way, I have read some huge favorite books this year. And I love them all so, so much. Have you read any of these books yet? And did you love them too? :D What are your favorite books this year?
1. Nevernight. This book was everything I wanted and more. But that ending pretty much destroyed me.
2. The Winner's Kiss. I was so happy about this final book. Heartbreaking yet the most amazing. Loved.
3. Heartless. I really loved this one. Despite that gut wrenching ending. I will never forget about this book.
4. Foxheart. This middle grade book was so stunning. Such an amazing fantasy novel; lovely characters.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :D
Happy New Year, Carina!! This is such a great list---so excited to see Hunted and Wish Granter on there as I'm really looking forward to those. I posted my best-of list yesterday and we have two in common! :D Heartless and The Forgetting. Sigh..they were both so incredible. There so many titles I wanted to read that just got by me this year, like Forbidden Wish and Three Dark Crowns. Also, I need to pick up Foxheart and try to read it---I tried listening to the audiobook and the characters just came across as so unlikable and whiny, but I think that actually might have been the reader's fault. I hate when that happens lol. Anyhow, I hope you have a lovely 2017, sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteWell, even though you did read a lot of crappy books, I think it's best to focus on all the really great 5 star books you read because their were so many of them and they all sound so amazing! I still need to try to get to a lot of these ones this year and I know I will love them as much as you did :) Here's to a new year and excellent reads and re-reads for you, Carina!
ReplyDeleteI am glad there were so many books that you managed to enjoy this year! Even though there were a lot of rubbish ones too >.> It happens. I haven't read the majority of these but Nevernight and Three Dark Crowns are some I want to read this year!
