Mockingjay by Suzanne CollinsGoodreads page-My review
The conclusion to one of--if not my top--favorite series.
If I Stay by Gayle Forman (Old release I read in 2010)
Words cannot describe my complete and total love for this heartbreaking and -warming book.
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
Goodreads page-My review
Full of poetic writing, naked rock stars, and tub-fearing emos. What's not to love?
Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien
An epic dystopic tale with a heroine only Voldemort couldn't love. (Why yes, I am watching Order of the Phoenix.)
The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea M Campbell
Goodreads page-My review
This was one of the most hilarious books I've ever read, and it had amazing characters and a fantastic plot to go along with the humor.
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
With a killer plot, characters, and romance, this fresh and unique paranormal sets the bar for upcoming werewolf novels.
Gone by Lisa McMannGoodreads page-My review
The conclusion to a fantastic, thrilling series.
The Iron King and The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
With fantastic writing, world-building, and humor, Julie Kagawa has created one of the hit series of 2010! I cannot wait for The Iron Queen.
Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready
Another one that I just want to hold onto and never, ever stop reading. This one's full of awesome music references, excellent romance, and a unique and captivating world
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Fun, mysterious, and full of wonderful characters, this is one you don't want to miss.
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
This book was so FRUSTRATING...and awesome. And probably even better than Hush, Hush.
Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley (Old release I read in 2010)
I am officially a Scott Pilgrim fanatic. This unique, quirky graphic novel series astounded me with it's greatness.

This suspenseful, page-turning sequel was even better than The Dark Divine!
Looking for Alaska by John Green (Old release I read in 2010)
Goodreads page-Review coming soon
No words I say can do this book, or my love for it, justice. It was amazing. Fantastic. Stu-freaking-pendous.
And while these didn't quite make my favorites list, I definitely feel like the following books deserve a mention:
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

A fantastic debut that I still, to this day, think about.
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder (2008 release read in 2010)

Paranormalcy by Kiersten WhiteThis was such a fun, fresh read and I'm so excited for the sequel.
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
This one was so thrilling and swoony. I am DYING for the sequel, Desires of the Dead.
Struts and Frets by Jon Skovron (2009 release read in 2010)
A great book full of music and awesome characters that develop really well.
I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder (2008 release read in 2010)I loved this storyline and concept, and it was executed (and written) very well.
Hourglass by Claudia Gray
I love this series so much, and this installment brought on so many new exciting twists.
And here are three 2011 titles I've had the opportunity to read this year that will be on my Best of 2011 list next year:
Angelfire by Courtney Allison MoultonGoodreads page-Review up in February
An exciting, gory, romantic, AWESOME book!
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins
Goodreads page-Review up in early 2011
Ho-ly craaaaaap this was good. Even better than Hex Hall!
Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann
An addicting tale of love, loss, and super creepy stuff.
If 2011 is half as good as 2010 was, it'll still be better than a double rainbow.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read as many of your favourites as I should have, but I'm hoping to read some of them this year. Hex Hall was definitely one of my favourites too along with Before I Fall, Paranormalcy and The Body Finder.
ReplyDeleteJessica: totally have this on my shelf, but so excited you're giving a copy away. Hopefully someone who hasn't read it will win it and love it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent 2010 choices. btw (there's a contest to win a copy of Matched by Ally Condie over at : http://totally4ya.com/ which is a new author site geared for teens. You'll be able to find me on there too.)
