Top 10 Books of 2012

So clearly this post is a tad late, nevertheless, in no particular order .... my Top 10 Books of 2012:



1. The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick 
A great novel and a great film adaptation. Wonderfully written with flawed but loveable characters. 

2. Let's Pretend this Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson 
One word: Hilarious. Read my review here

3. Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
Super fun summer read. Read my review here

4. Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor 
Amazing. Laini Taylor is a phenomenal story-teller with an incredible imagination. Read my review here

5. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 
Perfection. The Fault in Our Stars can be found on almost any "Best Books of 2012" list and it deserves its place there. 

6. Insurgent by Veronica Roth 
Excellent sequel to Divergent. Lived up to my anticipation and expectations. 

7. Wanderlove by Kristen Hubbard 
Such a wonderful YA novel. Realistic, inspirational and well written. 

8. Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell 
Loved this realistic, gritty novel with an incredible heroine.  

9. Room by Emma Donoghue 
This novel took me by surprise. Fell in love with the narration. Was an uplifting and empowering read.  

10. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick 
Another wonderful contemporary YA read. Fitzpatrick writes well of family, first loves and tough decisions.
