My favorite this year is Horde. I'm looking forward to the release of Cress :D
ReplyDeleteOne Of my favorite read for 2013 is Crash Into You by Katie McGarry. Also I've read some 2014 books and some of them are in my favorite Books Shelf like The Taking by Kimberly Derting and Magnolia by Kristi Cook.
ReplyDeleteA 2014 book that I have not read yet, but that I'm dying to read would be Alienated by Melissa Landers :D
My favorite book of 2013 was The Iron Traitor. About the book I am looking forward to the most in 2014, that would be City of Heavenly Fire.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I've read anything that was released this year, but the best book I read... it's very hard to say, at the moment I'm most excited about the one I'm currenly reading - Daughter of Smoke & Bone :)
ReplyDeleteI assume we'll see loads of awesomeness in the form of books in 2014. What has caught my attention so far... Dreams of Gods & Monsters for one, haha :D And Alienated :)
I fell in love with Pivot Point by Kasie West this year so I'm obviously very, very excited about the sequel coming out in February!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I read The Fault in Our Stars in 2013 so that's my favourite!
ReplyDeleteawesome picks! I'm torn between Allegiant and Cinder :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWinter Wolf by S.P. Wayne is one of my top picks.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I know you loved Endless Knight as we talked about it! It's definitely RIGHT behind Crown of Midnight...like super close. I have The Beautiful & The Cursed but I have yet to read it. I'll make a point to read it next year, though (hopefully).
ReplyDeleteHorde was fantastic! A great ending to a great trilogy! Cress is amazing - it's one of those series that keep getting better and better with each book so I can't wait for you to read it. It's worth the wait! :)
ReplyDeleteCrash Into You was really good. I was going back and forth between that and Dare You To for my Top Ten but I think DYT topped it be a hair. They were both fantastic (I adore Katie McGarry). I am excited for Alienated, too. I've heard great things about it and I'm in love with the cover! :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book of 2013 was Siege & Storm, so I'm naturally looking forward to Ruin & Rising.

You know I actually forgot that I read TFiOS this year, and I am such a big fan of it. I seriously had a brain fart. I was convinced that I read it late last year. That's what happens when you read so many books. Whoops. FYI TFiOS definitely is in my top 10, actually it's in my top 3!
