1. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: I LOVED this book. I had to take time off before writing my review because otherwise it would just been loud flailing.
2. Magonia by Maria Dahvanna Headley: This is such a beautiful, strange little book, and I'm really looking forward to reading the sequel.
3. The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: Her books read like a fast-paced television show, and I really enjoyed reading this one.
4. The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black: Faeries and a creepy little town are two things that really delight me. I love the feel of this book so much.
5. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo: Heist stories! Criminal masterminds! Magic! Moral ambiguity!
6. The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski: This one raised the tension and the stakes, ending on a cliffhanger, and I'm really looking forward to reading the finale next year.
7. The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow: Despite the bumps around the way, I really enjoyed the premise of it.
8. The Nest by Kenneth Oppel: This was such a unique read, especially in its protagonist.
9. The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi: I didn't read Spiderwick when I was a child, but I really enjoyed reading it this year.
10. The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien: I was surprised by how much a enjoyed this one. It was interesting to explore storytelling.
I am so excited to read Six of Crows. I'm glad you've enjoyed so many wonderful books this year! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty great year for reading, I'm glad to hear that you've got a great book to look forward to!
DeleteIlluminae and Six of Crows are both books I really wanted to get to this year but it just didn't happen! Maybe early next year.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I've definitely got a few books like that myself (my 2016 TBR continues to grow...)
DeleteI am glad to hear that you like The Fixer, for I am currently reading it! Gives me hope!

The Fixer was just such a fun read for me, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it!
DeleteI have heard great things about Illimunae, adding to Wishlist.
ReplyDeleteIlluminae is a pretty fantastic read. The stroytelling style is really interesting, and the story itself is great! I really hope you enjoy it.
DeleteOo I love how diverse your list is i.e. all the different genres in YA! <3 Darkest Part of the Forest. I haven't read The Winner's Crime yet, because I was sooo sad after the end of The Winner's Curse (sad because I couldn't read The Winner's Crime), and I don't want to put myself through that while waiting for The Winner's Kiss. It's self-preservation! I'm intrigued by The Fixer, Magonia & The Scorpion Rules - I feel like these are lesser known books, but they all sound so unique & interesting. I will definitely read them next year! Thanks :)

Waiting to read The Winner's Crime is wise, very wise. That way you'll be able to go right from one to the other, and not be stuck on a cliffhanger for... a year. It has been a fun wait...
DeleteI'm looking forward to hearing what you think of The Fixer, Magonia, and The Scorpion Rules next year!
Awesome list! I really need to read Six of Crows! Here's my Top Ten Tuesday:

Hopefully you'll get to it next year (its less of a wait on the cliffhanger ending for you anyway...)
