Top Ten Books I've Read so Far in 2015
This week was a "freebie" week, where I got to choose the topic.  I'm writing this kind of late on Monday night, about to go into Day #9 at work... so I'm going easy on myself!  And the books below aren't ranked:  I gave all of them 5 stars on Goodreads!

  1. You have some of my favorites on this list too! I absolutely loved The Naturals, Throne of Glass, and Dorothy Must Die. I still need to read The Wicked Will Rise and Heir of Fire. Hopefully I can tackle them in the summer.
    Great list!

  3. I haven't read any of these yet. Although Dorothy Must Die is definitely on my TBR list and I've been interested in Sarah Maas.

  4. Unbroken was great! What a crazy life that man led. The Jim Gaffigan book is on my TBR. I've seen him a couple times live and he is hysterical. Great list!

    1. I'm a little jealous! I've never seen him live. But I can't see Hot Pockets or cook bacon without thinking of his commentaries! Have you read Dad is Fat? I'm toying with the idea of reading it, but I'm not a dad (obvs) and didn't know if it'd be quite as funny if I couldn't relate much.

  6. Great list! I haven't read most of those, but I absolutely loved Throne of Glass and Dorothy Must Die. Would you say confessions is better than the last book? I wasn't 100% sold on it and wasn't sure if I should continue the story or not.

    1. I would say that Confessions: Paris Mysteries was about on par with Confessions: Private School Murders, or maybe just a little better. It's definitely different. I felt like the first book was very murder-mystery focused; then the second book was more character-development focused; then this third book is definitely character-driven and a little less mystery-focused still. But it's set in PARIS. Loved that. Also, I feel comfortable handing the first book to most 12 year olds+, but this third book has a few more mature moments between Tandy & her boyfriend, so I'd recommend it more to 15+. Just personal opinion.

    Thanks for sharing!

  9. I agree - Unbroken was amazing! And I've got The Bookman's Tale on my TBR list. I'm looking forward to reading that one. It must be a pretty good reading year for you with this many five-star reads so far! :)

  11. I love Throne of Glass though I have to admit my review was only a three star one due to some issues I had with the book. The series has got better and better though, and I gave the most recent book Heir of Fire, a five star review.
