Listopia 2014

I always love listopia. It symbolizes the end of the year and the beginning of another year. This time I'm excited and terrified at the same time. Next year is going to be really tough. I guess that might actually make the whole reading experience better. Rare things are priceless, especially when it comes to books.

Anyway, here's my top ten list of... a lot of things. First up is my favorite ten covers of the year:


(Not in order)

  • Ruin and Rising (The Grisha #3) by Leigh Bardugo
  • The Perilous Sea (The Elemental Trilogy #2) by Sherry Thomas
  • Trial by Fire (Worldwalker #3) by Josephine Angelini
  • Lark Rising (Guardians of Tarnec #1) by Sandra Waugh
  • City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare

  • After The End (After The End #1) by Amy Plum
