Each week, The Broke and Bookish host a Top Ten Tuesday based on a certain bookish topic. Other bloggers are able to participate and post their own top ten list based on the topic.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far In 2013.
So here’s my list in no particular order:
1. Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
Oh my goodness, if you haven’t read Scarlet yet, then what are you waiting for?! I mean, who can resist Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, and Sailor Moon all in one?
2. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
I only have to say this: The hype is well-deserved. Poison Study is fantastic.
3. Dare You To by Katie McGarry
I love everything about Dare You To: the gorgeous cover, the story, Beth, and Ryan. I can hug this book all day long.
4. Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor
If you haven’t read any of Laini Taylor’s books yet, then what are you waiting for? Her writing is beautiful and the story in Days of Blood & Starlight is so bittersweet.
5. Altered by Jennifer Rush
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much of Altered. Imagine my surprise when I actually read it – and loved it. I can’t wait for the sequel!
6. Stolen by Lucy Christopher
Ugh, this book completely twisted my perception of kidnappers and broke my heart. If you haven’t read Stolen, I strongly suggest you start it.
7. Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris
I loved, loved, loved Unraveling. Unbreakable is just as good.
8. Revel by Maurissa Guibord
I did’t expect to love Revel this much. It’s an amazing book guys.
9. Ten by Gretchen McNeil
I have very high expectations when it comes to books with horror and mystery in it. Ten exceeded my expectations.
10. Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
At first glance, Wallbanger appears to be a book only about sex. I mean, the title hints at that right? But I was wrong, Wallbanger is not about sex. In fact, only 10% of the book is about sex – Wallbanger has tons of chemistry and sexual tension that kept me reading. In fact, I re-read Wallbanger three times this week already. It is that good.
And now, I want to know, what are your top ten books that you’ve read so far in 2013?
Ooh, I definitely can’t wait to read Altered – going to read it for the debut-a-thon and I’ve only heard great things :) I really want to read the Unraveling series too since Amber loves it so freaking much xD Agreed on Scarlet! That book is awesome! And Days of Blood and Starlight… yeah, still need to get around to that. Nice list!

Seriously, I’m with Amber, read Unraveling asap. It is so good and will blow your mind. ;D
OMG, check out Days of Blood & Starlight asap Debby! It’s even better than Daughter of Smoke & Bone!

I just finished Scarlet and really enjoyed it too! I love how it continued CINDER but added new characters whose stories all weave together :) I haven’t read any others on your list yet though :)
Yeah, that definitely made Scarlet a lot more unique than other books! ;D
You should definitely check out the other books on my list; they are all amazing! (:
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far In 2013

YAY, Laini Taylor! I seriously love that woman. Days of Blood & Starlight is one of my all-time favorite books ever. Just…FEELS, you know?
Renae @ Respiring Thoughts recently posted…Top 10 Tuesday: Favorite Books Read In 2013 (So Far)
Yes, HUGE feels for that book! I’m eagerly waiting for the next and last book, wishing for a happy ending.
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far In 2013
I haven’t read a single one of these books…I do have Dare You To on my TBR pile, and I just got a copy of Unraveling so hopefully I can get to Unbreakable soon too. I also read Wallbanger ages ago when it was first posted online. I remember enjoying it, so I’ll definitely be getting a copy of this one and reading it very soon. Great list!
Hollie @ Music, Books and Tea recently posted…Top Ten Books of 2013 So Far
You definitely have to check out Dare You To and Unraveling asap Hollie! :D
And ahh, Wallbanger! I wish I have a paperback copy of that book instead of an ebook.

If I had read Poison Study this year and not like three years ago, I also would have put it on this list! Loved that book. I also really enjoyed Ten, and I’m excited for Altered and Dare You To! Wallbanger looks pretty cute – the first few chapters made me laugh. Excellent list!
Rebecca recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: 2013 Favorites
Yes, isn’t Poison Study just perfect? <3
You should definitely check out Altered and Dare You To as soon as possible. Both of them are really great reads.
The beginning of Wallbanger is so amazing; I love the whole "thump thump thump" thing. ;D!
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far In 2013
Great list! More than half of these are on my TBR pail. I need to get reading!
I really want to read Stolen. It looks really good & I’ve heard from so many people that it is outstanding and heartbreaking. But that just it, I don’t want to read a book that will break my heart. Even though the book looks good.
I really need to get to Scarlet. I really enjoyed Cinder and I can’t wait to meat Wolf. :D
Kimberly recently posted…Top ten Tuesday (23)
Stolen is definitely heartbreaking. At the end of it, I was just like whaa? How could this had happened?! I knew I shouldn’t have felt that way, but at the same time, I just couldn’t help it.
Get your hands on Scarlet asap! You’ll love Wolf. ;D
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Books I’ve Read So Far In 2013
I have Dare You To on my list also and have Stolen on my TBR! I’ve heard so many great things about it so I can’t wait to get to it! Great list!

I completely agree with Scarlet and Poison Study. I’m reading Magic study at the moment and I really like it.

I’m glad you loved Altered too Stephanie! I can’t wait to get my hands on Erased! :D
Kelly recently posted…Debut-a-Thon: Goals + Updates
Wait, what? Your Scarlet description is absolutely intriguing. I have yet to read Cinders, but now, I think I should?
I love being able to reread a book over and over again and never be tired of it.
YES CEE, definitely check both Cinder & Scarlet! They are both AMAZING, and I don’t use that word lightly.
Yeah, and Wallbanger is that book for me. <3
Kelly recently posted…Debut-a-Thon: Goals + Updates
Poison Study is SO GOOD! I need to read Scarlet like yesterday! :)
Lola @ Reading by Lamplight recently posted…Lola’s Lounge: Tablet Talk
YES! -grabs your hands and jumps up and down with you-
I REALLY have to check out the rest of the books in the series, even though I’ve heard that it wasn’t as good as the first book.
Kelly recently posted…Debut-a-Thon: Goals + Updates
I haven’t read any of those so far, to be honest. I requested Dare to You for my birthday next month, so I hope to get that soon. I’m waiting with Scarlet until the pub. date of Cress is closer because I hate the torture of waiting for the next installment, I won Unbreakable in a giveaway, but first I have to read Unraveling, and Ten is one of these books I’ve seen everywhere and really want to read, but also kind of scared out of my mind to xD
Anyways, great list! I may not have read any of those, but you sure made me want to!
Nitzan Schwarz recently posted…Review: Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren
Ohh, I can’t wait to see your thoughts on Dare You To Nitzan! I liked it more than I liked Pushing the Limits.
And I can understand that, but the wait to read Scarlet will KILL me. I would wonder how the story of Cinderella and Scarlet will look together.
Definitely read Unraveling asap, it’s even better than Unbreakable in my opinion. ;D
Ten is not scary at all. It’s mostly a mystery novel in my opinion.
Thanks! :D
And yay, that’s my goal!
