The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
These four books were definitely my favorite reading material from 2015. My reviews for the first three books can be found here, here and here. I haven't had time to write a review for Winter yet, but I'll tell you it's just as good (if not better) than the first three. These books center around different fairy tails that have been re-imagined. I know that's popular now, but no one does it as well as Marissa Meyer. Trust me, you'll be hooked after the first few pages of Cinder.
The Ruby Red Series by Kerstin Gier
Another YA fantasy trilogy. I read these at the start of the year I think,
but they were great from what I remember. Read my reviews here.
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
I don't normally like Nonfiction books, but I enjoyed this one. My review is here.
If you have a Netflix account, you've probably seen the show advertised a couple times. After watching the show (which is great by the way) and having a friend who loved the books, I asked for this for Christmas. My review?
It wasn't as good as the show, sadly, but it had it's own appeal. It's only on this list because I never wrote a full review for it...
Positives: The characters were well written and each had their own motives and goals. The plot was thought out and full of twists that weren't in the show.
Negatives: The sense of time was awkward, switching constantly between present and random points in the past. Every chapter switched to a new point of view, alternating between four characters which I found choppy and confusing.
I hope you'll look into these books and love them as much as I did. They've got very special places on my bookshelf. I hope I'll find some more awesome books in 2016. Thanks for following my blog!
