Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. Apparently, they are overly fond of list-making and love to share their bookish lists with the rest of us book nerds. =) We're game.
This week's topic is the Top Ten Books You Would Classify As ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS from the past 3 years (you can extend it to 5 if you need to):
April's Picks:
It's so very hard to narrow down a top ten. In just one year, let alone 3. But here are ten titles that still stick with me where ever I go.
Jen's Picks:
Okay, I have to split mine up a bit because it is next-to-impossible to only choose ten favorites from the last three years. So, here are my top ten favorites from the fantasy/paranormal genres:
And then here are my five favorite contemporaries from the last few years:
I probably could have picked a few more contemporaries, but since I've only just started loving them in the last few years, I decided to stick to five. And all of them focus on some kind of issue. I like my happy-go-lucky contemporary reads as much as the next girl, but the ones that really impress me are the ones that can tackle a subject -- without making me cry -- and still make me feel like I've gone on a journey, much like those my favorite fantasy stories involve.
What are some of your all-time favorite books? Be sure to share a link to your TTT post so we can visit!
Great lists! This was really hard to do! It's like choosing which of my children I like best. I actually haven't read quite a few of these books. I've meant to read them, but I just haven't gotten to them. I love Maggie Stiefvater, but I've always been a bit hesitant about The Scorpio Races, probably because I'm not all that into horses. I know she's said it's her favorite of all her books, and it's on both of your lists, so maybe I should just pick it up and read it. I know I desperately need to read Red Rising and Angelfall. Awesome choices!

Great lists. I bought Red Rising about half an hour ago after seeing it mentioned on Facebook. It was a bit of an impulse buy, so seeing it listed here is reassuring!
ReplyDeleteThe Sea of Tranquility is definitely on my list! I reeeaaallllyy need to read/catch up on The Ravel Cycle.
