Can we first just talk about how hard it is to pick only 10 books that I loved from 2015? I mean I read so many books that I rated 4-5 stars on Goodreads, which makes it SUPER hard to pick. But I made cuts, I thought hard, and I cut it down to 10. So here they are…the top 10 books for me of 2015 with gifs that show JUST how I felt about them…
- The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
- Lion Heart by AC Gaughen
- The Black Mage series by Rachel E Carter
- The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (I read Scarlet-Fairest)
- Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas
- The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows
- I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios
- Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby
- Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
- Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
Oh man…and to all of the books that I did not list that I EASILY could have…

It was hard, but I assumed that listing 30 of my 42 books would be a little over the top. Throne of Glass is one of my favorite series! So good!

I have not read Winter yet. I put myself on a book buying ban in October sooo I haven’t purchased it yet. I hope to be able to get it soon! I am both pumped and terrified to read it.
