Great list Christina! The Start of Me and You made my list too. I love Emery Lord's books! Saint Anything almost made my list. I should have put it down as an honorable mention.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Nightingale and I'm glad you did too. That is my favorite book of the year. The Royal We also made my list. Such a fun book :)
Cinder is fantastic and so is the rest of the series (Winter made my list this year). I also loved The Invention of Wings. Such a fascinating story!
Thanks, Christina! I agree. The Nightingale deserves all the accolades...a fantastic book. I can't wait to continue with the Lunar Chronicles series. I just bought Scarlet. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYes for Vendetta! I loved that book too!! :D
ReplyDeleteMe too! I look forward to the next book in the series. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteGreat list!! I haven't read any of these yet, but six of them are already on my TBR list. The Royal We, First & Then, P.S. I Still Love You, The Start of Me and You, Saint Anything, and The Nightingale. I'm happy to see you enjoyed them.

Thanks, Jacque! I think you will enjoy those books. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI really enjoyed First & Then too Christina! And the Start of Me & You. Emery Lord's books never disappoint! So glad to see Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight on your list as well, I couldn't love that series more. I'm planning on finally devouring Queen of Shadows over the holiday:) Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I started Throne of Glass series this year as well as Lunar Chronicles...both fantastic! I hope to read Queen of Shadows early next year....can't wait! Thanks for visiting, Jenny!
DeleteI <3 Saint Anything! Sarah Dessen is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteGreat List!
My TTT! :D
I agree, Giovanna! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteYou have so many great books on your list!! I loved The Start of Me and You and Saint Anything, and I'm thrilled to be seeing them so much today. :) I still need to read The Royal We and The Nightingale, and I'm excited to finally read them. The Girl on the Train was really awesome! :) Great picks!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christy! I think you'll love The Royal We (so, so funny!) and The Nightingale is such a powerful read. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteToG, Cinder and First & Then were all fantastic! I haven't read many of the other books on your list but there are a few on my TBR. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT!
Thanks, Molly! I am glad you agree. Thanks for dropping by.
DeletePam Jenoff has been on my Wishlist for awhile, I need to try this author. Nightingale is going to be my 1st read of the year. I'm still deciding about The Girl on the Train.
ReplyDeleteI hope to read her other novels as well! You are going to love Nightingale. Such a powerful book! The Girl on the Train is great...but don't let yourself get caught up on the Gone Girl comparisons. Thanks for visiting, Marce!
DeleteSaint Anything and P.S. I Still Love You made my list as well today! I just adore Han and Dessen! Excellent list!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT!
Me too! They are two of my favorite authors. Glad you agree! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWhat a great list, Christina!! I probably could have guessed many of your selections; there are so many wonderful choices here. I would really like to read The Nightingale! Hope you are doing well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara! I think you'd love The Nightingale...hopefully you can read it in 2016. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI loved Saint Anything it made my list too. I also just purchased The Nightingale and Things we know by heart, I can't wait to dive into them. I have most of these on my TBR especially first and then. I'm in love with the cover.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I think you'll enjoy both books, Tina. First & Then is fantastic as well. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOoh great list! and quite a few I would like to read. I might just have to read the Poldark novels so I can imagine Aiden Turner without his top on... or anything else for that matter!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
haha. You have me laughing out loud. I did enjoy reading Ross Poldark as I was watching the TV show...I hope to read the second book from the series sometime in 2016. I am a fan of Aiden Turner as well. :) Thanks for visiting! :)
DeleteI also loved a lot of these books - especially the contemps! Out of the contemps you've picked my favourite was Saint Anything! I read a lot of great thrillers this year, and if you loved The Girl on the Train then I highly recommend I Let You Go and The Kind Worth Killing. Both great thrillers with great twists!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check those out. I have been getting more and more into psychological thrillers...I have definitely been reading more each year. Thanks for the recommendations, Leanna!
DeleteDid you watch the "Poldark" series on PBS? I loved it! I didn't even realize it was based on a book series until I'd watched a few episodes. I'm glad to see you liked the first book -- maybe I'll look into it! As for the rest of your picks, "The Girl on the Train" made my list too. And I still need to read "The Nightingale" and "The Luckiest Girl Alive." One of these days!
ReplyDeleteYes! Loved Poldark on PBS. Looking forward to the second season. If you enjoy the show, you should definitely check out the series then. Thanks for visiting, Lindsay!
