Top Ten Books I Read In 2013

December 30, 2013 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday 1

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I Read In 2013 

This was very very very x10000 times hard for me. I read so many amazing book this year. So it was pretty hard choosing 10 books from the 54 I read this year.  So I cheated a little. I just could not choose. These are in no order at all, because that would be absolutely impossible for me to choose. Some of these books have reviews or reviews soon to come so just click on the covers to read them.

8709527 the golden lily the indigo spell tfh

1. Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead – I read all 4 books this year because I didn’t really keep up with all this book news before so I only really found out about them at the end of last year. I adore the Vampire Academy Series if you didn’t know that already and I was not disappointed in any of the Bloodlines Books at all. They just take me to another world, make me feel so many emotions. I cannot explain it. I can read these books over and over again.

Pawn

2.Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion #1) by Aimee Carter – I have talked about Pawn so much in the last month or two. I just love it. I think it’s an amazing dystopian novel and it just blew me away. I had not read anything my Aimee Carter but I knew of her work. I cannot wait for book 2, Captive to be released

pushing the limits

3. Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry – I just recently finished reading Pushing The Limits and boy what have I been missing out on? It was just an amazing and emotional read. Pushing the Limits has been on my list to buy for a long time, and I just kept putting it off, don’t know why I did that.

anna dressed in blood
4. Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – I didn’t think I would like this book at all, it was just not my thing, I am a total scaredey cat. But gosh boy I was wrong, yes I was Kinda scared at parts but this book blew me away. The writing was beautiful and it drew me from the start. I have the second book on my shelf and I plan to read it as soon as I can.
Perfect Chemistry
5. Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry #1) by Simone Elkeles – I have loved a lot of contemporary novels this year and this is one of them. I loved it to bits. It was fun, emotional, interesting, unique I could go on and on. Simone Elkeles has recently become one of my favourite authors that I have recently read. I am dying to read the next 2 books in this series.
TFiOS
6. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green – This book brought out so many emotions in me, I was crying like a baby. I remember going down stairs after I read it with tears just running down my face. It was just a beautiful story that could happen to anyone. It took my breath away.
angelfall
7. Angelfall (Penryn & End of Days #1) by Susan Ee – Wow this books blew me out of the water. It wasn’t your typical books about fallen Angels. It was beautifully written. Also the fact that the book was not heavily relying on romance made it that much better. It showed the growth of the characters that was unbelievable. I could not put the book down at any moment.
divergent
8. Divergent (Divergent #1) by Veronica Roth – I was really late getting into the Divergent books and I am bummed because it was truly such a fun read. Even if I did have a few problems with it. It had so much more that just blew me out of the water. It  took me to another world, I could imagine what was going on, I could feel the pain. The world was so interesting, so unbelievable  yet very believable.
Under the never sky
9. Under The Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1) by Veronica Rossi – I had never heard about this before I picked it up. it was in the bargain on The Book Deopistory but I am very glad I did. This has to be one of my favourite Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic of the year, it was just amazingly written, interesting, new, vibrant. It has romance, fights, emotions it was everything I could of asked for in a book.
     PJ edit
10. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan –  I have no idea why I waited so long to read this series, I think maybe because I never found the first book in the shops. But I finally got around to it, and I was not disappointed. They are amazing reads that never let me down. They were always fun to read. I am planning to get my brother to read them soon.
looking for alska
11. Looking For Alaska by John Green -I know what you are thinking, this is 11, well I just could not choose it was too hard. But anyway. I just loved Looking for Alaska it was emotional yet very inspiring in a way. I loved that we got to hear from a male perspective because I am so used to a female. it was different. I love John Green that’s it.
So that’s it my Top 11 Books for the year! I really loved all the books I read this year and it was hard to choice 11. Do we have any of the same this year? What was on your list.
This is also the last Top Ten Tuesday for the Year. I hope that you have enjoyed and have a Happy New Year

    Isn’t it nice when you start a series late, so that you don’t have to wait in between books? I’m glad you had such a good experience with Bloodlines! I didn’t really care for The Fiery Heart, but I’ve enjoyed so many of Mead’s books, and I’m sure this will be corrected wit the next one.

    I need to read Anna Dressed in Blood soon, because it’s time for a good scare!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
…

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
