Top 10 Books of 2011

Hey guys. I've had lots of trouble with this post. It's SO difficult to choose because I've read so much AWESOME this year and I don't know if I'll be able to pick just 10... I might have to have some honourable mentions down the bottom... Oh well, anyway, here goes! In no particular order my Top Ten of 2011!

Divergent (Divergent, #1)1. Divergent by Veronica Roth - Definitely my favourite dystopian ever. I think I've decided that it's even better than The Hunger Games... Maybe xD [My review]

2. The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler - SO SO SO GOOD! Read it. Now. [My review]

3. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson - Creepy and it freaked me out so much but it's awesome freaking out over a book :D [My review]

4. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini - Greek mythology and starcrossed lovers... *sigh* [My review]

5. The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting - JAY. [My review]

6. Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly - Honestly I think it's the best historical fiction book EVER. Blew my mind - incredible. [My review]


Supernaturally (Paranormalcy, #2)
7. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - So adorable. [My review]

8. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins - So adorable. Maybe even more adorable than Anna. *melts* [My review]

9. Supernaturally by Kiersten White - These books are amazing. Mostly because of Evie, but everything else is awesome too :D [My review]

10. Dearly Departed by Lia Habel - Enjoyed it way more than I expected to! So AWESOME :D Can't wait for the next one! [My review]

HONOURABLE MENTIONS - Very nearly made the list! Because I couldn't decide on only 10. 

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles [My review]
Shut Out by Kody Keplinger [My review]
The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab [My review]
Wither by Lauren Destefano [My review]
Delirium by Lauren Oliver [My review]

So there we have my top 15 favourite reads of 2011. If you haven't read any of these, YOU SO SHOULD. I buy you a copy myself but I've already spent all my money from Christmas on books for me... Sorry ;P Now go and read them! :D

Book Blogger Hop #4

It's that time again, for the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books! It gives bloggers a chance to hop around and find some awesome new blogs to follow! I frequently find new books that I need to read, and it's a great way to make new friends! Click the link above to sign up! =] Where is your favourite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden? My answer: My favourite place to read is in the corner of our corner sofa in the living room, when my brother is playing the Xbox, because then, I can block out the sounds of him blowing things up and just get lost in a book. I can't read there though if the TV's on, as I'll just end up watching the programme instead! I also like reading in bed, but sometimes I'll find myself drifting off, so I don't read there very often!

He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. My Thoughts: I was really excited to read The Scorpio Races . I'm a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater, and I've read all her previous books apart from Balla...
