Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far in 2015

30th June 2015 By Julianne 3 Comments

I have only read 28 books so far this year, so it was quite hard to pick out a top ten – there were some clear winners but I was wracked with indecision over some of the others. Therefore I wouldn’t call this a definitive list – I’m prone to changing my mind and revising star ratings! I also haven’t ranked these – if I tried to do that it would have taken me all day – they’re in the order in which I read them.

Click the book titles/authors for full reviews.

Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far in 2015
 

Trouble, by Non Pratt – I finally got around to reading the much-acclaimed Trouble and really enjoyed it, but not as much as Remix, which appears later on my list.

The Sky is Everywhere, by Jandy Nelson – it took me a while to get into this one but by the end I felt like I was the narrator, which is the number one sign of a good book.

Artemis Fowl and The Opal Deception, by Eoin Colfer – SUCH PERIL. SO PLOT. VERY AHHHH! My favourite Artemis Fowl book so far apart from the first.

The Bookshop Book, by Jen Campbell – I want to use this as a travel guide for the rest of my life.

Elizabeth is Missing, by Emma Healey – I had a few mixed feelings about this but it was well-written and I enjoyed it.

Remix, by Non Pratt – friendship, festivals, and whimsical vests, wonderful.

Wintersmith, by Terry Pratchett – I’m still thinking about the witches and I read this in May.

Being Emily, by Rachel Gold – quick, easy to read trans coming-out story, with some unusual elements.

I’ll Give You the Sun, by Jandy Nelson – I didn’t love this as much as The Sky is Everywhere, it took me even longer to get into it but it was still a memorable, powerful read in the end.

How to Be Bad, by E Lockhart, Lauren Myracle, and Sarah Mlynowski – friendship and life troubles on a three-day road trip. Now I have read all of E Lockhart’s books! Wayhey!

Top Ten Tuesday was created and is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. If you’ve done your own version of this list let me know! Do we have any books in common?
