Friday Reads 1/17/2014

This Friday  This weekend, i will be finishing up Just One Day By Gale Forman. I started two days ago and am almost done. I feel like this is a required read for everyone and this is my first Gayle Forman book, so that's saying a lot.
Next up is Ready Player One By Ernest Cline. I just now found this after looking for it forever at the library, and I'm pretty sure I'll pick this up after Just One Day.
Last, but not least is This Song Will Save Your Life By Leila Sales. I don't know much about this book. I've seen it on my Amazon Recommendations and around BookTube a lot and just decided to get it. I think I'll enjoy it though.
Anyway, that's what I'm reading. Let me  know what you're reading. Have a great weekend!!!

Top 13 Books of 2013

            So today, I’m going to be telling my top books of 2013. Now, most of them I think won’t actually have been published in 2013, but you get the idea. 

Best Contemporary 
Anna and the French Kiss By Stephanie Perkins
 I will forever love this book. I admit, I read this last year, but I reread it during the Christmas BookTubeAThon to get out a reading slump and it totally worked. As cheesy as the synopsis may be, it’s a great book that everyone should read.







 Best Assassin Book
Grave Mercy By Robin LaFevers
I had been eying this book ever since I saw an ad for in Seventeen. When it finally became available at my library, I couldn’t put it down. Sure it’s a bit long, but this is definitely worth reading.

Best Standalone
Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell
Do I need to say more?













Best Aliens
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
So glad that I picked this up. 
This will always be my favorite alien series of all time.











Best Non Werewolf
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
This series is not about werewolves, just to be clear. 
They are shifters. Totally different.












Best Simone Elkeles
Wild Cards By Simone Elkeles
As always, Simone never disappoints.

 










Best Vampire
Vampire Academy By Richelle Mead
If it wasn't for my best friend pushing me to read this, I would have never discovered one of my new favorite author. 

 










Best Spin-Off
 Bloodlines By Richelle Mead
It took me a while to get used to Sydney, because I kept expecting her to be like Rose because I was used to Rose being a badass. But Sydney isn't Rose and I'm okay with that. Every book gets better and better. I haven't read the newest book yet, so no spoilers! 


Best Underrated Series
Poison Study By Maria V. Snyder
Do not hesitate!!! Check this series out now! Or buy it. Whatever floats your boat. You will not be disappointed. 















Best End to Series
Clockwork Princess By Cassandra Clare 
This book is number one on my favorites list. It answered all questions and left me satisfied. 

Best Hybrid
What's Left of Me By Kat Zhang 
I've never read anything like this before. It was just so interesting. I couldn't put it down. I haven't read the second one yet. No spoilers!!! 

 










Best Sequel 
The Evolution of Mara Dyer By Michelle Hodkin
Love. Love. Love It!!! Absolutely loved it. The only problem was that it needed to be longer in my opinion so it wouldn't have ended so quickly.











Best Summer Romance
My Life Next Door By Huntley Fitzpatrick 
This book.......This is the perfect summer read. It was perfect. When Sam and Jace fell in love, it wasn't immediate, which is great.  5 out of 5 stars!! Great job Huntley!!!

Not really reading a lot this weekend. Just three books. First is Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the third book in her Covenant Series. Next is Elixir, also by Jennifer, but this a novella which is different for me because I don't really read novellas of anything. And last but not least is Tithe by Holly Black. One of my best friends is forcing me to read this because she wants me to have a better understanding of faeries since we're both writing a book that has faeries in it. So, that's it for my Friday Reads. Hopefully my Allegiant will be up on either Monday or Tuesday. Hope all of y'all have a great and safe weekend!!! I'll talk to y'all later.
