Top 15 of 2015!

The year is coming to an end and I desperately need to choose my favorite books of 2015. 

I have read a grand total of 72 books in 2015!

Now, for the top 15 of 2015!

15. Very Good Lives by J.K. Rowling

This was required reading for my AP English class. I was thrilled about this since its another J.K. Rowling "book" and she has so much advice to give the world. 

14. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

The premise of this book was just perfect. I read it this past summer which was the perfect novel. After I read it I went and started making lists of stuff to do during the summer!

13. The Foreshadowing by Marcus Sedgwick

I randomly picked this book up and was intrigued by the summary immediately. It was just what I needed during the time I read it.

12. Cress by Marissa Meyer

I have finished both Scarlet and Cress this year. Only two more books to go in the Lunar Chronicles! Cress was an incredibly sweet character and the Cress/Thorne ship needs to happen! Oh, and don't get me started on adorable "little Cress!"

11. As You Wish by Cary Elwes

I got the audio version of this book and that is the way to read it! A lot of the actors from the Princess Bride movie appear in the audio book which really makes the experience great. 

10. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

We had to read this book for AP English this year as well. My teacher is obsessed with Mark Twain which made the reading experience even better.

9. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella

I've never read a Sophie Kinsella adult novel, but when I heard that she wrote a young adult novel I was excited. This book was surprisingly funny and wonderful!

8. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

I really did not like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but this second book was amazing! It was fast paced and exciting throughout.

7. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

This book was incredible! I was just in shock the entire time. Even though this book was massive, I finished it relatively quickly.

6. Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

I read books 1-4 of the Percy Jackson and I think this one was my favorite. I am loving this series and I can't wait to continue.

5. 172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad

I have never been more terrified by a book before. I really want to read it now that I know everything that happens!

4. The Martian by Andy Weir

I listened to this one which was just a lot of fun. This book was surprisingly amazing and so is the movie!

3. Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

This was the best graphic novel I've ever read! It brought up so many complex issues which was so unusual for a graphic novel.

2. Divergent by Veronica Roth

I finally read it! I wasn't going to, but then my mom and my friends loved it and convinced me to give it a try. I read it really quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the constant action.

1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitgerald

Yes, this is my favorite book of the year. It was a school book, but an amazing school book. Fitgerald is amazing and so is this book.
