We’re closing in on the last few days of the countdown. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve tried to include a traditional and a self published book every day. Onward!
DUST OF A HUNDRED DOGS by A.S. King
This is one of my top top top books. It included everything I love. A unique story, pirates, curses, surprising twists, a flip flop between the past and the present. I will be rereading this one. Definitely for upper teen!
UNTRACEABLE by S.R. Johannes
This is a more recent one too. I love thrillers that also include a moving inner journey of the character. I couldn’t put the last half of this book down.
A different question for today. What kinds of books are your favorites? What is the common element in books you love?
Great choices, Laura!! A common element in the books I read are horror, suspense, and sometimes dystopian. That said, a few books that stick out in my mind this year are Jay Asher’s 13 Reasons Why, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy, and Kendare Blakes’ Anna Dressed in Blood.
Absolutely loved Dust! I loved Vera Dietz too. Amazing author! Great choices here.
Some books that stayed with me this year:
Between Shades of Gray
Anna Dressed in Blood
The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Wither
The Dark and Hollow Places
Prized and Birthmarked
Ship Breaker
Hex Hall
Supernaturally
Entice
Delirious
Warped
OyMG
oh, so many!!!!
I really love a variety of genres now.
15 yrs ago I only read Stephen King.
Now I read MG, YA, and adult. Vampires have crept in many a read. But I love books that make me laugh. But then again, the Hunger GAmes series were my faves of the year, and they made me think and cringe and turn the pages as fast as I could.
Loved Untraceable too!
