Honestly, in years past I’ve had to break it down by genre because I’ve had too many favorites. This has been quite the shitty reading year so I don’t have to do that! I gave a total of 19 5-star ratings this year (so far.. maybe I can tack on a few more in these final weeks) and a whopping 8 of them were re-reads that were 5-stars originally. That’s pathetic. But here are my picks for my top ten of the year:
Crooked Heart by Lissa Evans [Review]
Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich [Review]
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma [Review]
This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper
The Uninvited by Cat Winters [Review]
Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas
Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman [Review]
Most Dangerous by Steve Sheinkin [Review]
Replay by Ken Grimwood [Review]
The Marvels by Brian Selznick [Review]
I’m surprised I haven’t read any of these, but some of them are on my list. I’ve heard other bloggers mention that it wasn’t a great year for them as well, reading wise. Here’s hoping 2016 is better for you!

I’m planning on trying to hit more of my backlist in 2016 vs. mainly newer books. Hoping to find some new favorites there. 🙂

I have a couple of these I still need to get to. I LOVE that Challenger Deep made it to your favorites list after you challenged yourself to read the nominees. 🙂 That’s awesome.

Yes, that one was such a surprise! Well worth the read.

I have my list up today as well. I had an okay reading year, but definitely a lot of two star reads. I really loved the Uninvited. I couldn’t get through the Walls Around Us. Let’s hope this is a better reading year for both of us.

The Uninvited and The Marvels are both on my list this week too! I absolutely love Replay (need to read it again!), and want to read Crooked Heart. I hope 2016 is a better reading year for you!

I’ve got “Bull Mountain” and “Crooked Heart” on my to-read list, and the cover of “The Uninvited” looks intriguing. Sorry you had a crappy reading year! Here’s hoping you have tons of awesome reads in 2016!
This is such an interesting list to me, because I’ve barely read anything on here.I did read The Walls Around Us and quite enjoyed that. I’m definitely looking up Bull Mountain and Crooked Heart.
I hope you’ll have a better reading year in 2016! 🙂
