Top Ten Books I Read in 2013

The lovelies over at The Broke and The Bookish have asked a perfect question to wrap up the year!

In no particular order, here are my top ten reads of 2013:
"That's exactly it - I am crazy sad, and somewhere deep inside, all I want is to fly." (72)

“It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people."



“There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.” 


 "He squinted, and another picture flickered onto the screen, closer up, showing the backs of four of the men from up above, but, Kai noticed with a shock these were not men. Their shoulders were too wide, too hunched. Their barely discernible profiles too stretched. Their backs were covered in what appeared to be fur." 

“A relieved grin filled up Thorne’s face. “We’re having another moment, aren’t we?”“If by a moment, you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.”

  4. I am dying right now! Your list has so many of my all time favorite reads :) The Sky is Everywhere, The Song of Achilles and The Scorpio Races have all been on my fave books of the year lists before, I think. I'm SO glad you read Achilles - not enough people have, and it is phenomenal.

    I really need to read more of the books on your list - I've read a few and the ones I have I have LOVED.

  6. I never get tired of seeing Harry Potter love. It's probably my favorite series. The Lunar Chronicles, and the Scorpio Races are my list, too. I listened to SR, and wow, the narrators were fantastic. I cannot wait to get my hands on Cress!

    Finn got Moby Dick A Ocean Primer for Christmas and I was going to ask you if you had saw those books. They are so cute.

  8. Great picks! I love so many of the books on your list! I'm kind of jealous you got to read all of those in the same year :) I really need to read the Shadow and Bone books sometime. Maybe once they're all out.

    Happy reading in 2014

  9. The Sky is Everywhere was one of my favorite 2012 reads and if I didn't have 10 books I loved from 2013 I would have totally tried to sneak it into my list. SO GOOD! Happy almost-2014!

  10. I still need to read The Sky Is Everywhere, His Fair Assassin, and Siege and Storm. However, I seriously adored The Scorpio Races and The Fault In Our Stars, so good choices there. Hope 2014 is another great reading year for you!

  16. I love the graphics you made for this post, and the fact that you chose your favorite quotes to include too! That quote from Dark Triumph has convinced me that I MUST read the His Fair Assassin trilogy this year. I'm pretty sure you'd approve :)
