(note: these are in no particular order. I put them like this because they popped in my head like that. Thanks <3)
One of the best books this year has brought upon my eyes is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. This book has been everywhere on the internet this year! Ever since it got released I've heard nothing but good things about this book and I swear that the things I've heard about this book have lived up to my expectations. I read it and I fell in love with it. It's so relatable especially if you're in lots of fandoms, not necessarily a person who writes fanfic. And the whole love story that happens in the book is the most adorable thing ever! I wrote a review on this book which you can check out here!
Obviously, this year has brought surprise to my life. I have never imagined a year ago that The Mortal Instruments series would become one of my favourite series ever this year. I would've slapped myself and tell myself to go to bed because I'm drunk. I fell in love with this series the way you fall asleep: slowly and then all at once. I loved it. I read the first book, didn't enjoy it that much, read the second book, and then the next one, and then the next one until I've read the whole series so far and I entered a fandom where everybody is in mourning right now because the next book comes out in 5 months *sigh*. I feel for you people of the TMI fandom! I FEEL FOR YOU!
(reviews for CoB and CoA here)
Another series that blew my mind this year is the Legend series. I fell in love with it only after about 100 pages but that doesn't matter because it quickly became one of my favourite series. And if you haven't read it yet, what are you doing? Go to the first bookshelf and buy the whole series and just read it! This series got better as I read it. Champion is an amazing book and it just broke my heart. I loved everything in this series. Everything. You should read it. Please <3
And the award for funnies book I've read this year (probably, it was a while ago) goes to THIS BABY! I read this at the beginning of the year, so I don't remember much but I do know that it was a really witty and funny and heart-warning book and I really enjoyed it. It might not be for everyone. Because some characters might annoy you. John's Will might seem annoying, as I only remember liking David's Will or at least all I remember reading is the story-line of David's Will and Tiny Cooper, the most adorable fictional gay guy ever. Read on fellows! Read on!
This was the first series I read this year and I loved it! I actually read it twice just to be sure. And I recommend you to read it! I want you to read it! *dalek voice* OBEY OBEEEEEY! It's such a good story! I just suddenly feel like rereading it. OH WELL! I shall buy it and then read it. Hopefully. (looked it up. found it. price is ok will buy next year. sometime) It definitely is one of my favourite series ever because it's just so so funny and adorable and I just wanna hug Gwendolyn and Gideon and Xemerius (obviously). The movie sucked but I really wish someone in Hollywood read this book so they can make a better job at adapting a book which has lots of potential. Review here.
Don't judge me on this but this series is very good. The first book might be annoying and too metaphorical and shit but it gets better! It's at the bottom of my top something of favourite series but it's in the top! Which is good! I love this series because it's action packed and there is crazy fighting and suspense and everything good! And Warner. Of course. We all love us some Warner, don't we? Reviews 1, 1.5 & 3.
Everybody loves this book. Everybody. I did. I just remember I did. This time last year I was reading it because I wanted to savour the book, not just fly through it like a plow. Obviously, Charlie is a really heart melting character. Not because he's adorable and what not but because of his story and because it makes sympathetic for him. And that's good, I think.
I really hope you liked this list, because I enjoyed making it. I know they're not many books. I read over 30 books this year but there were some that couldn't match the criteria (wat). Or I just simply didn't like them enough to end up in this list. Like Where She Went by Gayle Forman. Loved that book. It was amazing. But there were some things that held me back to put it here. Shatter Me didn't blew me away but it was really good and it had potential from the beginning and it rose to that potential in the second book. Also, I read the first two books in TDI series, but I didn't like it enough to put it here. I blame the translation. Oh well.
But in other news, I am in a mourning period after City of Lost Souls. THE NEXT COMES OUT ONLY IN MAY WHYYYYYY!! I can't believe I fell in love so much with this series! And Simon. Everybody's like "ermahgerd! Jace!" but not me, ladies and gentlemen! I like my boys hot gamers and awkward! That's all I have to say.
Ok! I must depart from the internetz this evening.
Goodbye!
Di.
