Hey everyone! Nina here! You may have forgotten about me. It’s
been a super long while since I’ve done a post here. I sincerely apologize—life
including schoolwork and etc. just love to get in the way of my bookish
responsibilities. If you follow me on Instagram then you
probably already saw my Top 5 Favorite books of 2015. I thought I would do a
more in-depth post about why I chose each of those books. So here we go!!
1. The
Queen of Zombie Hearts by Gena Showalter
This is the third
installment in The White Rabbit Chronicles. We’ve already been introduced to
all of the characters and we meet a few new ones as well. What can I say? This
book was crazy, weird, heart-warming, intense, and SO emotional to sum up
within a few words. I absolutely loved every moment of it. The action started right
at the beginning, which I usually don’t prefer but because it was the third
book in the series I definitely understood why it was done. I loved the romance
and not just the main characters. EVERY single couple in this book pulled at
the heartstrings. And that ending?! What was that?? It completely wrecked me. I
got emotional even towards the “side” characters; but Showalter creates a believable
story with believable characters. Characters who are so well-developed and put together
that you never forget about them. And you want the absolute best for them
because they are so real to you and in real life of course you never want anyone
to get hurt. All in all, this novel was incredible. I totally recommend it. And
it definitely deserves to be #1 on my list.
2. On
Dublin Street by Samantha Young
I actually have a
review on Goodreads for this book if you want to check it out there! But basically I wanted
something quick and light to read. I got the quick part and even though this
book wasn’t exactly “light” (because of the heavy topics included) it was still
highly enjoyable. The characters were funny and interesting and the plot just
made me want to keep on reading. I couldn’t put this one down and before I knew
it I was done. I enjoyed the steamy romance and how Young developed each of the
character’s background so thoroughly. The only problem I had was how stubborn
the main character was. But since it was towards the ending it wasn’t a huge
problem. I definitely recommend this book, especially if you’re into New Adult.
3. Insanity
by Cameron Jace
This book was CRAZY. And I LOVED
it. I wasn’t so sure about this one at the very beginning when I first started
reading it. I didn’t see how it had gotten so many great reviews on places like
Amazon and Goodreads, I wanted to put it down for a while, or I just got too
easily distracted by something else- it just didn’t capture my full attention.
But then… As I kept reading things got interesting. TOO interesting. I loved
the mystery behind the plot and all the clues and hints that were left for the
main character to figure out. I loved the characters even though they weren’t the
typical lovable type. I also loved how short the book was yet Jace does a great
job of including a LOT into the plot. I definitely recommend this one if you’re
looking for a fantastic Alice in Wonderland retelling!
4. Sweet
Addiction by J. Daniels
This book completely caught me off guard
with how amazing it was. I wasn’t expecting more than a quick steamy romance
novel but was thrown in the face with so much more—and I’m glad! The characters
were pretty enjoyable and the friendship between the main character and her
best friend was hilarious! I loved their conversations. I also loved how this
novel included just the right amount of drama. It wasn’t too much that it made
the story unbelievable but enough to keep the story interesting. The main male
character was also pretty great too *wink wink.* Definitely give this book a
read if you’re looking for a quick, light, steamy New Adult novel!
5. Fahrenheit
451 by Ray Bradbury
My final read that made my list is
Fahrenheit 451. This book definitely deserves to be classified as a classic. My
absolute favorite thing about this book was how realistic it was even though it
was supposed to be set in the future. The characters were so well-developed and
I completely understood where each one of them was coming from and why they
justified their “wrong” actions. I also loved the irony behind books being
banned. It showed how humans destroyed the thing that made them feel weak and
insecure even though people are the ones to have created books. Definitely read
this one; even if it’s outside of your comfort zone, even if you don’t like
classics, or even if you don’t like reading in general. Read this one.
So those were my Top 5 Favorite Books
of 2015!! I hope you enjoyed reading this. I’ll see you in my next post!!
