Top 10 Reads of 2015

I have managed to read a total of 100 Books in 2015, so it's safe to say that it was very difficult to narrow those 100 books down to my Top 10. I've decided to only include YA novels into my Top 10, but I may add some NA honourable mentions at the end. Also, these are books I've read in 2015, so some may not have been released in 2015.

LETS BEGIN!

Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo


This book was so EPIC! It honestly blew me away. I was quite nervous to read it at first because of how hyped up it was, but let me tell you, there is a reason why it is so hyped. Honestly this is one of my favourite books ever!

An Ember in the Ashes - Sabaa Tahir

One of the best debut novels I have ever read. It was raw, gritty and I loved it! I admire how Sabaa Tahir displayed and tackled some serious issues in her book, such as rape and sexism, it was evocative.
This book was also my 100th and last read of the year, so it was nice to end the year with such a brilliant book.

Carry On - Rainbow Rowell

Thinking about this book is bringing back all of the feels. I didn't think I was going to love this book as much as I did. I remember reading it for the first time and getting sucked in immediately. After finishing it, I went back and read it a second time...and then a third time.

Winter - Marissa Meyer

This is how you conclude a series! Winter was everything I wanted and more! It was a glorious 800 pages, which I loved since everything was really fleshed out. I don't think I've ever read such a satisfying conclusion before.

Queen of Shadows - Sarah J. Maas

Once again, Sarah J Maas outdid herself. The Throne of Glass series gets so much more bad-ass as we delve further and further into the series. Another must read series. The love of my life Dorian Havilliard is also a part of this series, so there's one reason for you to pick this up.

Since You've Been Gone - Morgan Matson

So this book wasn't actually released in 2015, it was published in 2014 but I read it this year, so that's why it's on my list. This is the perfect book to read when it's summer or when you just want to get into a feel-good mood. Any Morgan Matson can put a smile on your face, I guarantee it.

 I'll Give You The Sun - Jandy Nelson

Another book that was released in 2014 and is perfect for putting a smile on your face. One of the main things I loved about this book was that although there was romance involved, the main message was about the importance of family. Truly beautiful.

Inferno - Catherine Doyle

This book is being published in 2016 (January 7th) but I was lucky enough to receive an early finished copy this year. This is the second book in the trilogy and it is a masterpiece! So much more bad-ass and fast-paced than the first book. If you haven't already, pick up this trilogy!

 All The Bright Places - Jennifer Niven

 
This book was beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. I remember finishing this book late at night and tears were pouring down my face and I honestly just sat there and thought about life. This book really touched me.

Night Owls - Jenn Bennett

If you're from the US, you will probably know this book as 'The Anatomical Shape of a Heart.' Night Owls drew me in from the very first page. The writing was beautiful and flowed throughout the novel. I could really connect with the main characters Beatrix and Jack, and I loved how the whole story was sex-positive. A quick, unforgettable read.
