We’re halfway through the year! Even though my reading has been off for the past couple months, I’m still on track to reach my goal of 120 books. I’ve read 69. There has already been some great books released this year, but I know there are a few I’m high anticipating that will most likely make my end of the year list.
These six books all have that extra something that earned my love. I’m only including books that were published in 2015, but I have a batch at the bottom of those that weren’t.
Click on the covers to read my reviews.
The books below are top read for me this year too, but were published before 2015.
Oh YES to Black Iris!! I read that one this year and holy crap, it was AMAZING!! For me, it has also become one of my all time favorite books. I read Unteachable and while I thought the writing was great, I just didn’t care much for the characters or the ending. Just too much romanticization of a student teacher relationship. Another amazing book I read this year was I’ll Give You The Sun. So good!!!
I can’t believe I haven’t read any of these!!! I own some and a lot are on my TBR. I will have to get my butt in gear and start some of them soon!
The Martian and Magic Breaks were among my favorites, too! And I have Black Iris on audio, but have yet to find the time (or gather the courage) to read it. I know it’ll affect me strongly. Hopefully I’ll survive. 🙂
omg. I’ve not read any of these. And barely heard of most of them. Dafuq??
I’ve only read 2 of these. *ashamed*
But I’m planning on reading Fuel the Fire soon.
So. I haven’t read any of these, how sad is that! I have read and loved On Dublin Street and Heir of Fire though, so I’m not completely out of the loop. Only mostly. Definitely hoping to get to Red Rising and Golden Son this year!
Great list Christy! I still need to read some of these. I loved Golden Son and On Dublin Street as well. 😉
I love this!!! Yes to all these books! I’m so happy Unteachable and Black Iris are both on here (they are probably two of my favourite NA books, ever) also, I bought the Martian yesterday for Father’s Day and I’m looking forward to reading the copy I bought my father! Ha!
I’m still waiting on my copy of Black Iris, glad you liked it so much:) Looks like you picked some really good top books for this year.
Oh gosh, I love all your reads published before this year. I have read them and loved them. I cant’ believe we are almost to July! I am fallig way behind on my reading already because of the craziness of summer.
Oh you have read some good books! You have also reminded me of a couple I do intend to start. I need to get Red Rising and read this one since the second one is so good as well. Yea, you pushed a few up my wishlist.
Heck yes..I think I’ve ready all of these but maybe one. So many rocking titles
I need all the patience in the world for Seveneves. I’m still in the midst of it. Lol. I hope you’re enjoying your vacay!
Great post Christy! I loved When Joss Met Matt too… sigh!
Still have to catch up on the Ritchie books.
Yes! Sarah J Maas! You need to read ACoTaR!!
And gotta love Ilona Andrews!
Yes DUBLIN STREET, I need to catch up though
I have the Leah Reader books , When Joss Met Matt and HOF on my list to read.
Favourites so far this year…. mmm No-Where But Here was good also An Ember in the Ashes and The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly
Ugh, I keep forgetting I have Black Iris!! I love JLemmon too! This series is just different and a little daring for my taste because of the tropes (Girl code!) but totally works
Seveneves is as good as bought!! I almost got it before… I’d should have!!
Great list!!
69!!! Awesome! I’m at 45 right now. Nice list. I still need to check out Black Iris, The Martian, and read something from Jessica Lemmon. 🙂
OMG – I just finished the audio version of On Dublin Street (the whole series is on Scribd. now) and it was awesome! I’m currently listing to book #2. Down London Road (I think).
Great list!
I need to catch up on Kate Daniels ASAP! And totally loved Heir of Fire (:
Ooh and The Martian is on my TBR!
I love lists like this because I am always after something new and amazing to read 🙂
I love the Kate Daniels series! Heir of Fire is amazing and I have been so curious about Black Iris so I’m pleased to see that you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
I loved both Raeder books too! and can’t wait to read The Martian. I’m adding Seveneves and On Dublin Street to mt TBR right now!
I’d have to read some of your reviews, but The Martian already caught my eye.
I loved Black Iris and Bringing Home the Boy! You need to read the sequel. It was amazing!
Black Iris by L. Reader is one of my top reads of 2015 so far too. 🙂
I have not read one signal book from your top 6. So depressing.
You know what, I think we actually have a very similar taste in books Kristy! I loved Golden Son, Heir of Fire and White Trash Zombie. Seveneves really interests me though, like Black Iris (which is on my TBR on my shelf). Thanks for the round-up!
