Most memorable books of 2013

Book that made me smile, laugh, 

cry, die, reborn and die again

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

I don't know what more to say, the title pretty
 much explains it all I think, best book I've ever read,
 hands down.

Best dystopian book

Legend by Marie Lu

I really did not expect much from this book, but I absolutely loved it! 

The movie is in production and I'm actually pretty positive about!

This book showed me that there is still hope out there for the dystopian

genre.

Book I thought I thought I would love 

but did not

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

I didn't hate it, but I just did not like it, I'm not a fan of instant love which there 

was in this book and the whole concept of this story did not make the cut in 

my opinion. It was weak.

Book with the most unexpected plot twist

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

This book started of kind of slow but when I came to the middle of the book I 

could not put it down and that plot was sooooo unexpected! The book took a 

big turn that I did not foresee

Best romance book

The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher

This is not your typical love story. This one is so raw and full of emotions that 

it HURTS. 

Excerpt from my review

"I am speechless.

My insides turned into something mushy, my heart ache, and my existence stopped making 

sense. Time slowed down. Why I asked myself. Why can't I just rotten, vanish, disappear? 

Why am I forced to live when all I wan't to do is die?

I realized what I was feeling.
There was a name for this.
I was heart broken"

This years most disappointing book

Allegiant by Veronica Roth

All that death was uneccesary, she did not master the duo POV thing and 

everything was just average. Not impressed. 

Best fantasy book

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

This was also one of those books that I didn't even think I would enjoy, but since it was an arc I kind of 

had to read it, and I'm glad I had to because this book is truly hilarious! I love it to bits, it's so funny

and the story is truly magnificent. If you need a feel good book this is the book, like I said before, I 

loved it <3

Favorite contemporary book

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

The reason why I love this book so much is because of the characters. Lola is so 

much like me only 

better, everything I do she does better etc. she is such a unique girl and doesn't care

 what anyone 

really thinks of her outer appearance, and I love it! The whole plot is just sunny 

California, it's a sweet

and easy book but it will still leave a mark on you.
