I always do a midyear post sharing my top reads, and there are already plenty to choose from this year. Hopefully the rest of the year brings even more awesome reads! There are actually a couple other books that should be on here, but I decided to leave them off for now.
Okay, okay … I really left them off because I’m feeling the three groups of three, and adding them would’ve thrown off the vibe. Shut up, I know I’m weird. 😛
Moving on. I was surprised to see some of these books on my ‘read in 2016’ list. It seems like it was a lot longer than 5-6 months since I read them.
So here they are …
He Will Be My Ruin – My favorite Tucker book to date.
Marked in Flesh – The series gets better and better!
Ask Me How I Got Here – This is so beautifully written. I connected with Addie so much. Everyone experiences depression and works through stuff in their own way, and it bums me out when I see people judging her during the most difficult time in her life.
Morning Star – Wowza! What a fantastic finale!
The Fireman – What an amazing book hangover this gave me.
The City of Mirrors – Absolutely brilliant!
With Malice – I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was.
It Ends With Us – All I’m saying is … wow!
And I Darken – Hell yeah! This was so freaking good!
That’s all!
Have you read any of these?
I loved He Will Be My Ruin!! It was my first book by her but I loved it. I really enjoyed With Malice too. I am dying for It Ends With Us to come out. Colleen is one of my favorites. Great picks!!
I haven’t read any of them but I want to read most of them. The K.A. Tucker one especially is on my list because I’ve been wanting to read her forever and I’m especially intrigued by this more mystery book. With Malice also looks really good and I’m curious about Ask Me How I Got Here. Looks like you’ve been doing some great reading!
Okay, so He Will Be My Ruin was on my TBR and I just purchased the ebook from Amazon because they were having a sale. I am so happy to see it on this list! I also loved With Malice. I thought the ending was a bit rushed, but other than that, it was a great mystery. Awesome list.
I didn’t realize you already read the CoHo, I did too, actually I stayed up until like 3 in the morning, I couldn’t put it down and it was my fault for starting it right before bed. Great books, I still need to read The Fireman!
Morning star is coming up…soon
I’ve read a couple of the ones listed here and I did enjoy… but you have me drooling over that KA Tucker book and the Anne Bishop one. Both of them are on my MUST READ list!
I mean to read He Will Be My Ruin by KA Tucker, to see if a mystery can work for my besides Sherlock Homes. I Will Darken sounds interesting, too.
lol – You should definitely at least try it. 🙂
It Ends with Us is on my TBR! I got the ARC but have so many books before it. And CoHo books are hit or miss for me so I am a little nervous!
So many of books are on my need-to-read asap. Morning Star, The Fireman, and I need to get a copy of And I Darken. Oh, and of course, that new CoHo!
I haven’t had the best reading year so I love these posts! thank you for sharing your faves, I am going to check them out, especially Colleen Hoover, I am a huge fan of her writing.
A great post!
The CoHo book is so good!
I own He Will Be My Ruin and I need to read it soon! I also really want to read The Fireman and With Malice, but I don’t own the copies YET.

Can’t agree more about The City of Mirrors!! And I need to pick up more Joe Hill!!!
Marked in Flesh made my list too! I can’t wait to read With Malice, I hear it’s amazing!
I like your groups of three, too, OCD not withstanding. The groups make sense!! And He Will Be My Ruin had a price break yesterday so I bought it based on this list!!!!! YAY!!!! Now just to find time to read it…
Can’t Wait to read and I darken. I’m reading With Malice now, so excited!
Top of my head, One True Loves by Tara Jenkins Reid. You should try that one, Christy, it’s really good!
I need to try Cronin this year, even just one book.
Once you read The Passage, you’ll HAVE to read the rest of them. You can’t read that trilogy out of order.
LOl I’ve onlyr ead the Bishop one but I loved it too! Heard great things about the others too! Thanks for sharing!
I will be listening to It Ends With Us and I Darken but you have books up there that are soooo on my top ten lists for 2016
Those are some great reads! I’m going to have to check out quite a few of these 🙂
Great picks! Isn’t He Will Be My Ruin great?!! I need to pick up the rest of The Others series before the last book comes out.
I love the Other Series. I haven’t yet read the most recent–and need to make time for it. I’m reading The Fireman right now. So good! Great list, Christy!
I just added Ask me How I got Here Christy, it sounds so lovely and poignant. I’m actually reading And I Darken now and holy shit, it’s so fierce. When she stormed into the room as a child and shouted I KILL INFIDELS, I was hooked. Wonderful list! Going to check a few of these out <3
I haven’t read any of these yet, but K.A. Tucker and Anne Bishop are on my list to pick up soon!! Looks like you have been having a good reading year!!
Gah, I need to get back to The Others series! And I Red Rising and And I Darken on my TBR! Excited to check those out!
I’m reading It Ends With Us right now, and it’s AWESOME!!! I totally agree. He Will Be My Ruin was AMAZING!!! One of my very favorites of hers as well. I’m dying to read With Malice asap. That definitely sounds like my kind of book. Such a great list of wonderful reads!! (Also… you got a new look! It’s so pretty!)
I’ve not read any of them but ahhh I have Bishop on my list. I have GOT to get her read at some point.
I really liked And I Darken! And I’m usually not a fan of historical fiction (but I needed to read it, because it’s Romania’s history and I’m Romanian lol). I thoght With Malice was really addictive and I loved the ending.
I haven’t read any of these, but I like the idea of a midyear top reads so far list. I remember seeing a few of your reviews for some of these. I own the first book in that Anne Bischop series, but haven’t read it yet. I am curious about He Will Be My Ruin, but not yet sure if I will actually pick it up.
