Which books did you like most in 2012?
My absolute favorite read of 2012 was Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.
ReplyDeleteI love your picks for historical as A Company of Swans is one of my fave books, first read some years ago.
Oh gosh how I love A COMPANY OF SWANS.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing everyone's favorite books! It's kind of sad, I've only read 4 (and a half) of those. I just finished Cinder, and it was such a good story! I don't know why I put off reading it all year.
ReplyDeleteI love this list! :) Blood Red Road and Virtuosity were definitely unexpected favorites for me and Quintana and Black Heart were simply phenomenal conclusions. I also loved Graffiti Moon and The Raven Boys as well, so fantastic list! :D
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've remembered the books you read this year! I can't even remember the books I read last month. I need to read the other Cath Crowly book aside from Graffiti Moon.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you split these up into categories! I really loved For Darkness Shows the Stars, so it's nice seeing it on several lists. Black Heart was a fantastic end to The Curse Workers series! It was both unexpected but fitting. And oh yes, Blood Red Road was one of my favorites last year. I totally thought I'd hate it but it was so awesome.
ReplyDeleteCinder and Grave Mercy! I loved these. Great list-and organised with the categories. May the next year bring you even more books to fall in love with :)
