Top 10 Books of 2013

2013 was a great reading year for me.  I read 115 books this year!

Here are my top 10 books that I read in 2013.

10) Cinder by Marissa Meyer
What a creative and original fairy tale retelling.


9) The Host by Stephenie Meyer


8)  The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon


7) The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey



6) Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth




5) A Dance with Dragons by George R R Martin


4) Shadow on the Crown by Patricia Bracewell

I received an advance reader copy of this over the winter and I just zipped through it.  Really great historical fiction. 

3) Me Before You by Jojo Moyes


2) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell


I am really surprised that I have 2 contemporary books on my top 10 this year.  I am not usually a fan of contemporary but I loved these books.  

1) Ready Player One by Ernest Cline


1) The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley


I couldn't pick my #1 favorite book of the year so I picked 2!  Both books stayed with me for a long time after I read them.  Loved those books.  I also read the Firebird by Susanna Kearsley this year and loved it.  It is a sequel to The Winter Sea.
