Top Ten Favorite Books from the Past 3 years

This is where I'm really glad I keep good records about what I've read.  It was a bit hard to narrow it down, so I decided to limit it to books that were also PUBLISHED in the last three + years.  So January 1, 2012 - March 3, 2015.  These are NOT in order.

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

I absolutely adore this book, even years later I have such a fondness for it.  I can't really think of anything I didn't love.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

So beautiful both the writing and the story.  This one has stuck with me in the years since I read it. At the time, I don't think I appreciated it as much as I do now.

The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen

I had to include a Sarah Dessen book on this list. Granted it wasn't my absolute favorite by her, but it still was excellent.

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

This one took me by surprise.  I knew it was my favorite type of book, but I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. 

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

I love Maggie Stiefvater, and this book was so interesting.  I love the characters and the surprises in this one.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

This was actually the first Jennifer E. Smith book I read, and I loved it.  It was the start of me consuming almost everything she's written.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

Even though I kind of ruined the book for myself by reading the end, I still absolutely loved this book.  It was so beautifully written and completely unexpected.

When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds

I have talked a lot about how much I adore this book, so it absolutely had to go on this list.  It just really hit close to home for me, and I try to push it on everyone I know.

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

I understand why it won the Printz, and it deserved it.  Jandy Nelson's first book The Sky is Everywhere is one of my all time favorite books, so I was totally looking forward to this one.  It was worth the wait.

Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin #1) by Robin LaFevers

Another book that took me a bit by surprise.  I don't normally love historical fiction, but this one had enough other stuff going on that I absolutely loved it.
