Thank goodness school is finally out - I've had lots more time to read in the past couple weeks. My top 5 favorite books:
1. Dark Triumph by R. L. LaFevers. My word, this woman can write. I think this is even better than her first book, Grave Mercy. All the historical detail...it's just amazing. Not to mention the wonderful characters. Like Beast. *dreamy sigh*
2. The Diviners by Libba Bray. After going through post-Downton Abbey depression, I decided to read this and totally loved it. I'm just in awe at how brilliant it is. I felt like I was in the 1920's - that's how good her writing is.
3. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard. This book has it all. It's an awesome historical/steampunk mash-up that I thoroughly enjoyed. I mean, zombies + parasols = perfection. Charming and delightful. Can't wait for the sequel!
4. When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle. I wasn't expecting to love this modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet so much, but it was amazing! A great twist on the classic tale, and all the characters were so real and well-developed. Amazing contemporary book.
5. The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller. Yay for books that are unashamedly, wholeheartedly, wonderfully nerdy. I was grinning and nodding my head the whole time while reading this. Nerdfighters for the win!
