Top Ten Tuesday – Top Ten Books I’ve read so far this year
This week on Top Ten Tuesday we are discussing the books that are the best we’ve read so far this year. I’m thinking we need to make up a new meme called top twenty or thirty so I can keep all the great books on my list π Top Ten Tuesdays is a fun meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we share our excitement for books, and I really like how this meme makes me think about the books I read, why I read them, and who to recommend my favorite reads to. So, here we go :
As usual, my list is in no particular order :
Ten Tiny Breaths by K. A. Tucker is a NA contemporary romance, but with lots of very hard subjects treated. I cried so hard at one point I couldn’t even read anymore. But I also laughed out loud in several places.
One Tiny Lie is the 2nd book in K. A. Tuckers series and I loved this one as much as I loved Ten Tiny Breaths!
Pushing the Limits is another NA book, this one is written by Katie McGarry. Also some hard stuff to read about, but really great! I loved the story and the characters so much.
Dare you To is the 2nd book in Katie McGarry’s series, and I’m starting to feel like I have a theme going here… It can’t be helped, I’m a huge fan of NA!
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover just blew me away! So beautiful, and at the same time, so sad.
Thank you for Riding is a hot and sexy read by Meg Maguire, and it was fun to read π
The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau is excellent. I loved Cia!
A list with favorite books can’t be complete without at least one book by Julie Kagawa, right? So I bring you The Eternity Cure from her Blood of Eden series – excellent, with scary vampires and a quest for a better place and life.
The First Rule of Swimming by Courtney Angela Brkic touched my heart and I thought the story was so tender. Loved it!
Switching by Jody Kihara was such a different story with time travel in it, and it was really well done!
What about you? What are your Top Ten books for 2013 so far?
Thanks for stopping by, have a terrific Tuesday, and happy reading.
I’ve been seeing “Pushing the Limits” everywhere. It was a good one. I really need to read “Hopeless” but I ran out of time from the library and am back on hold. Great list.

I’ve only read Eternity Cure from the list but it disappointed me. Others are still on my TBR pile.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy Eternity Cure, Ula. It’s no fun when you expect to love a book and end up disappointed π

I loved Pushing the Limits and I want to read I Dare You soon!

I completely agree with you on Pushing the Limits! I loved it! I haven’t read any of the others on your list…YET! They are, of course, either already on my kindle or on my TBR. Hopefully I’ll catch up! π
Pushing the Limits is awesome! And so are the others on this list π what are you waiting for, Brandee? π
Love Love Love Pushing the Limits and Dare You To. I’ve heard good things about Ten Tiny Breaths but I haven’t gotten to it yet.
I think I might actually like Ten Tiny Breaths even more that Pushing the Limits… not sure if it’s possible, but it was truly awesome as well!
Thanks for stopping by Kimberly.
You know I always love Katie McGarry’s and Colleen Hoovers’s books! π
Ive heard great stuff about The First Rule of Swimming too, I’ve probably gotta read it.
Fahima @ I Read, Ergo I Write
YAY, if you love Colleen Hoover and Katie McGarry, you should check out K.A. Tucker as well!

Great list of books though I haven’t read any of them..I did start The Testing but I haven’t finished it ..I hate reading on the computer and that was the only way I could get it. π
OH, I would hate reading on the computer as well π too bad it was the only way for you to be able to read The Testing.. I hope you’ll enjoy the story anyway!
Thanks for stopping by Stormi π
I REALLY need to finish Hopeless. I put it aside when it first came out to focus on a few reviews I needed to read. Hoping to get around to Katie McGarry’s books sometime this summer.
Oh yes, Hopeless is awesome, and so are Katie McGarry’s books. I know what you mean, though, those pesky review-books π I love getting them, but I need to slow down a little – there are many other books I’d like to read as well.
Thanks for stopping by Jess.
I love Pushing the Limits, sadly that’s the only one I’ve read from your list. I obviously have a lot of reading to do π
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m sure you have a full list anyway, so whether you have a lot of reading to do or not depends on other things than my list π
Thanks for stopping by Liza π
I’ve seen The Testing and The Eternity cure on lots of lists today. Guess I should check those out, huh? π Thanks for stopping by my blog, Lexxie. π
Yeah, I guess you should π Thanks for stopping by Liesel.
I loved the testing and Eternity cure. they would be on my top ten too.
Thanks for stopping by Jodie π
I’ve been hearing a lot about Ten Tiny Breaths so I may have to check it out! PtL and Dare You To were so good, weren’t they?!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT list earlier & happy reading! π
Oh yes, PtL and DYT were excellent. Ten Tiny Breaths is as well, and it’s the same age group, but different subject matter! I cried. Hard.
Thanks for stopping by Rachelia π
Amazing list!! Love TTB and OTL. Also Katie McGarry’s books and Hopeless π
Yeah, those NA books get to me every single time! Thanks for stopping by Chelsea π
Great list Lexxie! Totally agree with Hopeless and Eternity Cure!
