I know I haven't been very consistent in the All The Books Of 2015 challenge, I am sorry ;_; But on a side note, I'm now doing the top 5 Wednesday for today, and that is.... The top 5 books of the year.
Note that these are my favourite books that I read in 2015, not necessarily published this year :)
Okay, where to begin.
You see at the bottom there is the book that I keep keep keep mentioning: The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton. It's been months since I read it in January I think, and I still cannot forget its characters, settings, everything about it. I'm in love.
And then we have All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, a book which I had low expectations of but which surprised me. Its imperfections, not-so-happy ending, flawed characters; these are what make this book perfect.
Next, Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas; randomly picked this up at the bookstore, randomly picked this up when I didn't know what to read next. I practically flew through it because it was impossible to put down, and even after I finished I was feeling so creeped out by it. A little review here :)
Cinder by Marissa Meyer; the first book of the Lunar Chronicles. This was a fantastic start to the series, getting to know the world and watching the main character progress from a mere mechanic to a badass (in my opinion) Also, Cinder is bae.
And last but not least, The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer, the first book of the Land Of Stories. Also, I loved the way our typical fairytale characters were portrayed in this one. A few flaws here and there, which my middle grade-self wouldn't have paid much attention to so I am closing one eye. Full review here :)
Most of these books have made it to this list because of one simple reason: I didn't have high expectations of them. I jumped into them not knowing much, and was pleasantly blown away. That's how I managed to narrow it down to just 5 :)
That's it for today, until next time!
