Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
This week's topic is: Top Ten Books I've Read So Far In 2015
*in no particular order
**Also if you click the title you will be taken to my review placed on Goodreads.
1. THE RULES by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie--looove these authors! And naturally their latest book was an amazing and incredible one! I so hope there will be more to this possible series!
2. FORGED IN STONE by Alyssa Rose Ivy--I've loved pretty much every paranormal book this woman has written! Forged in Stone is no different! I adore James and can't wait for more!
3. THE VAMPIRE'S MAIL ORDER BRIDE by Kristen Painter--yet another new series that I am completely in love with! Nocturne Falls is fast becoming my fave Kristen Painter series! It's so cute and just fun!
4. SWERVE by Vicki Pettersson--this is Vicki's first thriller and it was amazing! I was taken by surprise by it too! At the time of this post, my review wasn't up, but actually went up on Monday. So I'm hoping the link updates itself! ;)
5. POWERLESS by Tera Lynn Childs & Tracy Deebs--I am a huge fan of Tracy and admit this was my first Tera book, but I loved it! It was sooo awesome and unique in a way. I cannot wait to see where this series goes!
6. NEARLY FOUND by Elle Cosimano--I actually read both of Elle's books this year and loved them both! This one had a bit of a creepier mystery feel to it, because it's not at all what you're expecting!
7. ROGUE by Julie Kagawa--seriously every time I finish one of Julie's books I am constantly wanting the next one! They are sooo good! So incredible and amazing that I don't want to leave this world behind!
8. SNOW LIKE ASHES by Sara Raasch--loved this one! A wonderful fantasy and I can't wait for the next one! Something I am constantly saying when it comes to every beloved read!
9. BOUND BY FLAMES by Jeaniene Frost--loved it! It's Jeaniene Frost! And it's VLAD! What's not to love! Best yet?! There's 1 MORE BOOK TO COME!!
10. A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES by Sarah J. Maas--one of my most anticipated reads this year has held a firm spot in my most favorite reads of this year! LOVED this one and cannot wait to see what this series holds!!
This is an interesting group of books! I haven't seen many of them around tonight, though ACOTAR is everyone's favorite haha. I haven't read Nearly Gone yet, but I'm excited to hear its sequel is great too!

Oh my gosh, I've only read ACOTAR out of your favorites!!! But I really did want to read Snow Like Ashes soon! From what I hear though, maybe I should see if I can get my hands on the sequel first haha!
ReplyDeleteI have only read ACOTAR, Snow Like Ashes, and Powerless but I liked them a lot. Great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat TTT list! I haven't read any of these though I am familiar with ACOTAR and Snow Like Ashes. Happy reading for the rest of 2015 :)

They aren't alone? Who is after them? I have read none of the books in your top ten- I do have Forged in Stone just haven't opened it yet. Great picks.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser
Great list. I see a few I recognize, and a few I may be looking into. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read The Rules, Powerless and Nearly Found! I also haven't read A Court of Thorns and Roses yet...I feel bad about that one. I loved Snow Like Ashes! Swerve sounds awesome. Great list! You already know I Brooke the rules this week. I just did this topic on a freebie week and I didn't know what to do!
ReplyDeleteMichelle @ Michelle's Minions
Lots of good books in your list. My teaser on my adult blog comes from this romantic suspense title - Hell or High Water by Julie Ann Walker. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Powerless and Rogue! Still need to read Talon first though... haha! ACOTAR was on my list as well!

Great picks! I'm reading Swerve now and I think that it will be on my top 10 list this year already! It is SO good so far!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My TTT!!
What a lovely cover and a great teaser! Very intense.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed reading your top ten list! I have only read one Jeaniene Frost book, and while I didn't love it exactly, I did enjoy it. I want to read more by her. I've heard her books get better and better. Swerve sounds like it is a good one too.
Beautiful cover. I'm curious about what made Tilda scream.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features SERENA.
Not being alone is bad...
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I´ve read Snow like Ashes and I liked it, but I haven´t read any of the other books that you mention.

Oh, I can't wait for the release of Crystal Kingdom. I have the first two books, now I need the third. Thanks for sharing the tease.
ReplyDeleteACOTAR... an amazing book.
Marilyn @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
I've only read Rogue (which I loved but didn't make my list) and ACOTAR (which was just the most amazing read!) out of the books on your list, there are some new books to me there that look interesting from the covers alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, I appreciate it xx
My TTT - Thea @ Gizzimomo's Book Shelf
OMG! The Vampire's Mail Order Bride! Why haven't I seen this before. I definitely need to buy this book. Love vampire stories :)
ReplyDeleteThese books are all new to me, but I was immediately drawn to Snow Like Ashes - that cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTina @ Pages of Comfort
ACOTAR of course! If you've read that book, it's impossible to leave it out of this list.
