Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year

1. Anna and the French Kiss: I shy away from contemporaries and I'm really not sure why. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next one! [5 stars]
2. The Iron Traitor: Oh, Kierran. *sigh* I just love that Grimalkin and Puck joined in the adventure. Also the ending slayed me. [5 stars]
3. Impostor: A girl with a morphing ability morphs into a girl to uncover a serial killer. It was an amazing read. [4 stars]
4. The Mark of Athena: Another flawless book from Rick Riordan. Here was one of my updates: "Sometimes I think to myself...self, why do you have to sleep? Hoping to finish this one today. It's at a really intense part!" [4.5 stars]
5. Beta: Clones. Clones that are soulless and become slaves for rich people on an island. I didn't expect the book to be as good as it was. [4.5 stars]
6. Shadow Kiss: Oh.My.Glob. This book...just ahhhh! [5 stars]
7. Shades of Earth: I've tried to read a few finales of trilogies recently...this was one of them. The other two received 5 stars, this one did too. One of the best endings of a trilogy I've read to date. [5 stars]
8. Ignite Me: And this would be another one of the best endings to a trilogy ever. [5 stars]
9. Take Me On: Katie McGarry is just so good at writing books. Loved this installment in the Pushing the Limits series. [5 stars]
10. Diners, Dives, & Dead Ends: I was drawn in by the names of these ones. I really like the adult mystery books like Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swenson series and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (which is probably more crime, but it does have the who dun it element and therefore I'm saying it's mystery) - and this Rose Strickland series is definitely starting off on the right foot for me :) [5 stars]

June TBR List + Upcoming Releases

I don't know why I'm still posting these...I've gone rogue and not stuck to my TBR at all. Well, maybe not too rogue. Last month I managed to read Frostbite which was on my list and I'm also working on Uganda Be Kidding Me...and the Shatter Me novellas so that I can finish that series up. I'm actually hoping to read a ton in June because I finished my term's worth of work early and don't start back up until July. *fingers crossed*
