A weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

10.) The Winner's Curse and The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkowski
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
I felt like the last person in the blogosphere to read this book and so many people had raved about it. So when The Winner's Crime came out I marathoned the series and totally loved it. The characters, the world, the mystery.

9.) Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
This was one of the debuts I was most excited about and it absolutely did not let me down. It's an action-packed adventure on the Oregon Trail with unforgettable characters. This is how all YA historical fiction should be,

8.) Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
So this book needs to be on the list because I read it in January when I was doing a mystery theme without realizing this a contemporary romance. But I loved it so much that it changed my stance on YA contemps.

7.) The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisbury
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
Another fantastic debut. I seriously just loved this fantasy. I've seen some mixed reviews but for me it worked. A very cool and complex world with a great mythology and full of secrets. Plus I'm stilling thinking about the way it ended.

6.) The Book Theif by Marcus Zusak
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
I have been telling myself for years I won't like this book but I bit the bullet and read it and you were all right, it's fantastic. It ripped my heart out but I still seriously loved it.

5.) Uprooted by Naomi Novik 
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
This book is all over the blogosphere lately and there's a reason why. It's absolutely brilliant. It's one of the most creative fantasies I've read in a long time and it still feels so familiar. It's like reading your favorite fairy tale for the first time.

4.) The Martian by Andy Weir

(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
Everything about this book was flawless. It's one of the best Science Fiction novels I have read in a long time and the audiobook is so good it earned a place in my top 5 favorites of all-time. It's funny, interesting, and full of feels.

3.) The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
I am not the kind of person who needs romance in their novels, especially fantasy but I am obsessed with the ships in this book. Plus it's a creative fantasy world and complex characters that I loved so much I didn't even care there were like 8,000 P.O.V.s

2.) Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
My absolute favorite debut of the year so far. I'm so glad I realized I don't hate contemporary romances because I seriously would have missed out this brilliant, sweet, and hilarious book. I mean I can't remember the last time a book made me giggle this much, it was kind of embarrassing.

1.) A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
(Amazon / Goodreads / My Review)
Without a doubt, ADSOM is my favorite book of the year. When you look the word perfect up in the dictionary you see this book. It's one of the most well-plotted books I have ever read and is full of thrilling action, adventure, and mystery. Plus a fascinating magical system that we have only begun learning about, brilliant worlds, and characters I'm absolutely obsessed with. This quickly became one of my all-time favorite reads.

There you have it, my top ten favorite books of 2015 so far. What books are on your list? Do we have any of the same books? Have you read any of these books? Leave me a commet with your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!
