For future Top Ten Tuesday topics & info on how to participate, click here!

This Week's Topic
Top Ten Best Books We Read In 2015 (you can do it by only 2015 releases,  overall , by genre (top ten fantasy books I read in 2015), etc. however you choose to make your BEST list)


Jana's Picks


1 -- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
LOVED this book. I've had a hangover since I read it back in March. Loved everything.


2 -- The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
This was the first book I read in 2015, and I loved it! It's swoony and thrillery. Plus it's all international and exciting!


Lauren's Picks


I related to this book in so many ways it's almost unbearable. I can barely find the words to describe how much this book impacted me and I read it right at a time in my life that I needed to.



This book hit every aspect that I could even imagine would intrigue me and left me wanting more.
Also seconded by Daisy!



I really loved this book. I was completely engrossed from the beginning and I loved how everyone was connected, even if it was by a thread. 

Daisy's Picks


THIS BOOK YOU GUYS!! You should all read it, it's beyond amazing and I totally loved it! I have so many ships to ship and flawless plot and just YES.


I can seriously not get enough of Sarah J. Maas' writing and this series in particular! It's one of my favourites and I die at the end of every book because I know I'll have to wait another year to continue the awesomeness. *seconded by Jamie!!*


I'm so incredibly late to the party, but OMG so much this book!! I had all the Wesley feels and I just love Bianca and the amazingly strong message that this book sends and the body image positivity and the friendship and just too many things to mention. LOVE.

Jamie's Picks



9. Truthwitch by Susan Dennard: Okaaaay this is a 2016 release but our list isn't 2015 release specific but best books we read in 2015 so I'm going to take the time to talk about this AMAZING book. Seriously one of my top 5 books that I read this year!!! If you like fantasy, this book MUST be on your list for January!


10. The Start of You and Me by Emery Lord: SUCH CONTEMPORARY GOODNESS. It made me so happy and solidified Emery as a fave --even though I predicted after Open Road Summer she would be!

  1. Oh we've got some similar books on our lists. You have a few I haven't had a chance to check out yet but I love seeing them on a top ten list means they are awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  2. I must get round to reading some of these -- especially Vicious! I'm curious about Truthwitch, too, but didn't manage to get my paws on an ARC.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hi! Station Eleven was so close to making my list, it really was engrossing but there were just to many other books I loved this year. I need to read Vicious asap! VE Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic is on my list so I hope I'll like Vicious just as much. And YES to Six of Crows! :)

    Happy Reading

  23. My purchased/gifted books pile had crept up to 22 books by the end of the year, so reading some of them made my resolution list, too. Reading just for you is always a good idea--just because it's a popular book doesn't mean it's for you!
