Today we are supposed to list 5 Popular Books Worth the Hype. So, looking back at my reading list from this year, the number one through four spots go to ...
I didn't start the Raven Cycle series until this year because somehow I didn't believe all of my lovely bookish friends that were raving about them. Now, even though I only read them all between the end of May and the end of September, I'm about to start a series reread. I miss the characters and world so much that I need to go back already!
And the fifth spot is going to ...
What book did you read this year that deserves the hype it has gotten?
Reminiscing about great reads,

Yay for the Raven cycle!! Did you hear she's starting a Ronan-centered trilogy????
ReplyDeleteI need to try that Cain series again sometime when my brain is working a little better. I couldn't focus enough to really pay attention the first time I tried it.
I did hear about the Ronan trilogy and I'm dying. Ronan ended up being one of my favorite people in the series!
DeleteAnd I hope the Caine series works for you next time. It's fast-moving and lush so you definitely do need/want to pay attention. :)
I need to get to the Rachel Caine books!
ReplyDeleteThey're so fun! I need my own copies.
DeleteThe Raven Cycle is definitely worth the hype. I'd say one of the hyped books I suuuuper loved this year was The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.
ReplyDeleteAlways a relief when the hyped book doesn't suck. ;)
DeleteI haven't caught up with The Raven Cycle series, but so agree - love the books!

They are fantastic!
DeleteOoh, good question! I would say Brit Bennett's The Mothers is probably the one for me that fully lived up to the hype. The writing was heartbreakingly beautiful, and it just made me so excited for whatever she's going to write next.
ReplyDeleteI've heard nothing but good things about this book so I totally believe you! I need to get a hold on it at the library in January.
