On the Island  – This book had me feeling everything. I loved the uniqueness of the plot and the aftermath of everything… Plus T.J. and Anna were wonderful characters!Â
My Life Next Door – Â The characters of this book jumped off the page for me and I couldn’t get enough of them… I still can’t and I revisit my favorite parts every once in a while… Like this…Â
Through the Ever Night – This book doesn’t come out until January, so if you haven’t read book 1 this gives you plenty of time to get that done. I loved book 2 so much more than book 1  maybe it was because we got more of Roar and a lot more of Perry, I don’t know but probably in my top 5 read in 2012.  Perry gave me all the swoons and Rossi gave me an incredible story … I adore them both for it.
The Fault in Our Stars – I’m not sure any list would be complete without this book on it. Augustus and Hazel Grace made me smile, laugh, frown and cry like a baby and I suppose I should thank John Green for that. Â Completely worth all the heartache – and I’m going to read it again… very soon.
Shadow and Bone – I absolutely adored this first in a series book from Leigh Bardugo. Â She amazingly made me fall for both the good guy and the bad guy in this book and gives readers a kickass heroine in the form of Alina who isn’t everything she appears in the beginning. I’m so frickin excited to read book 2 I can’t wait. Â Plus… I’m secretly casting the movie that is in the works. LOL
Deity – I adore anything Jennifer Armentrout writes, and she writes a lot guys so if you’re not reading something by her, get on that! Â But – Deity was probably my very favorite of everything she published this year. Â This book had a bit of everything and while I love the Covenant Series, this had everything I was hoping it would. Â Alex kicks ass, Seth shows his true colors, and Aiden…*sigh* GAH! This series is definitely worth your time to check out!
The Sea of Tranquility –  This book… From the very first page I knew I’d be hooked and Millay did not disappoint.  From Nastya to Josh ‘fucking’ Bennett to Drew, the characters  had me turning pages desperate to find out more.  If you haven’t yet read this book, I highly recommend it. Â
If I Lie – I loved this book… it wasn’t all happiness and rainbows, but it was an incredible read, full of emotion. Â Completely captivated me from the get go. Â The relationships between the characters were so well developed and the story itself was unique and wonderfully told. Â Definitely a must read if you haven’t!
The Immortal Rules  – I Love Julie Kagawa… there I said it.  I devoured the Iron Fey series and when I found out that she had a vampire series coming I patiently (ha) waited for it.  Totally worth the wait. The world that Kagawa has created is so different and intriguing – I am dying for book 2 – and the cover reveal the other day was just a reminder of that!  Definitely check this series out!

Fault in Stars is on my list also and i'm not even a YA fan, I think that will past the test of time. I agree the list is not complete without it.

I think The Fault in Our Stars was on everyone's list who read it! I'm a bit jealous of Smoke and Bone and Easy. Two books I've heard such great things about. I hope to get to them in 2013!

On the Island and Easy were SO CLOSE to making my Top Ten! They're my #11 and #12, lol. And I don't even need to comment on TFioS being on this list. 🙂

I've seen the Fault in Our Stars on so many list, it's really making me reconsider how I keep passing it up for other books. Divergent and Insurgent were the main two books I absolutely loved this year.

Great list! I loved Deity, and I, too, think it's my favourite in the series – along with Elixir.
I really, really want to read My Life Next Door! I hope I get it for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂
