Top Ten Tuesday: Books I've Read So Far In 2015


Happy Tuesday and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.  The theme this week is Books I've Read So Far In 2015.  I've read quite a few good ones so this will be a little challenging!  Here they are in order from most recent with my reviews linked:


Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater


The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith


Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel



Ms. Marvel (Volume 1 and Volume 2) by G. Willow Wilson


A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab


The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins


City of Savages by Lee Kelly


The Martian by Andy Weir


Shutter by Courtney Alameda


The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters

Bonus:


The Girl from Felony Bay by J.E. Thompson


What do you think of my favorites from this year?  Do we share any titles?  Have any recommendations for me?  By the way, I love comments and I always try to respond to each!

  1. Great list! We share Girl on the Train, that book was such a page turner! I loved it. You've got some on here I haven't heard of yet. I love seeing everyone's recommendations.

  7. Station Eleven made my list, too and had I read Blue Lily, Lily Blue this year, that would of course be on the list! I LOVE that series! Based on Girl On A Train, I highly recommend Marrow by Tarryn Fisher and Swerve by Vicki Petersson!!

  20. Blue Lily, Lily Blue has been on so many lists and I understand why because it's such a great book. I think it's the best from the series so far. I can't wait to read Shutter! I heard many awesome things about it and it sounds exactly like my cup of tea.
    Lovely list. :)

  28. My book club is reading The Martian in November, but I don't think I'll be able to wait that long. :-) Just saw the movie trailer last week too, and it looks awesome.

    I've seen Station Eleven on a lot of these TTT lists this week. Makes me more curious to pick it up...
