Hello everyone! Today is Top Ten Tuesday (even though I write this on Wednesday, don’t tell anyone) which is a weekly smidgen of fun hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. It doesn’t have to be books published this year (and even it was, rules are there to be broken, right?).

This week’s theme is Top 10 Best Books I Read in 2015!

Are you ready? I’m ready.

All original reviews can by found on my Goodreads page. FYI.

Rolling in at number one is Reawakened by Colleen Houck. Houck is hands down my favourite author (assuming J. K. Rowling has her own special and untouchable pedestal in my ranking, here) and I will read anything this woman writes. Her Tiger’s Curse series played a huge part in getting me into the world of reading, and more specifically, the world of YA glorious-ness.

Number two is Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (an obvious one, no?). Maas is a goddess when it comes to writing and I can’t express how excited I was about the unexpected twists and turns in this here book number 4!

Coming in at number three is Ensnared by A. G. Howard. I have adored every minute of her Alice and Wonderland adaption and I highly recommend it. Just brace yourself, the feels are strong.

Closely in following in fourth position is The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. A fantastically mind-boggling fantasy adventure that is gloriously long. I think this book’s amazing-ness precedes it. Just go and read it already.

Number five! A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Again, the Maas-inator is just pure brilliance. This is a fun yet terrifying spin on Beauty and the Beast and it’s just fantastic. Okay?

Claiming fifth place is The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. This book blew my mind and hooked me on thriller/mystery novels. Whew.

Number six is An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. This was just so good – I literally cannot garble enough words around to make you understand how amazing it is. ORIGINAL FANTASTY NOVEL OF AWESOME ALERT.

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin comes in at number seven being the fabulous book that it is. I might be late to band wagon but that certainly doesn’t mean this book was any less magnificent than it is.

Number eight is Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo – an exciting fantasy heist from the author of the Grisha trilogy (which I loved). What’s not to love?

Coming in at ninth place is Thorn by Intisar Khanani. This is a retelling of the Goose Girl (google it) and is absolutely fabulous (also, the stunning cover might’ve had something to do with why I picked this).

Finally, at number ten, is The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis. If ever there were a definition for mind blowing, this is it. The conclusion to the 7-book series was amazing and ended in a way I really did not see coming.
