What are some of your favorite books read this year or were published this year?
I loved that you selected your favourite books by category, like it were an award show! It is much easier to pick that way. I love that you always include Indie book as well, it is so important to help great authors get the word out about their books.
Attachments and All Our Yesterdays were on my favourites list this year as well. They are soo good. I haven’t read In The Shadows of Blackbirds but I’ve heard excellent things about it and it’s already in my wishlist. Both of Cat Winter’s books actually
It’s always good to have multiple favorites. 😀
I read both of Cat Winters’ books this year. They’re both a great mix of historical fiction and paranormal.
Ooo, so many of these books I love! Book of a Thousand Days, Lizzie Bennet, Attachments and Dealing with Dragons!
So many good books this year!
Book of A Thousand Days! Attachments! Dealing with Dragons! Ruby Red! So many great books on this list. I’ve wanted to read Thorn ever since I read your review a couple of months ago. My library doesn’t have a copy, so I’ll probably just buy it. Even if I don’t like it, that cover is seriously gorgeous. I wouldn’t mind seeing that on my bookshelf everyday.
Sadly I don’t think it will be in most libraries since it’s self published but they really should buy it. It’s fantastic.
