Great list some of my favorite reads this year are on there…and I love that The Duff made your list, it too, is definitely one of my all time favorites.
Fantastic! Thanks so much.
wow great list
Totally agree about Grave Mercy & Easy
Lurved me some Grave Mercy — and Throne of Glass. Been a good year for YA Fantasy.
So many awesome picks it makes me giddy remembering them. My top 10 adult and top 10 YA will post on Dec 31st..many of these made my list!
I couldn’t just do 10 lol — had to just list them all
can’t wait to read your list.
I see a few books I need to add to be 2013 reading list.
I wasn’t able to get to Kiss of the Highland but I really liked The Highlander’s Touch. My friend is listening to the audio books and said that’s the way I need to go because the narrator’s voice is sexy.
Yes, I went audiobooks, they narrator is Phil Gigante who does her Fever series (or the last 3 Fevers) and he is great.
FAB list. I really liked On the Island too.
Thanks! It was a good year of great reads.
SO have you read Haven by A.R. Ivanovich. It was published in 2011 and I felt it started off a little iffy but I was loving it by the end.
