Top 10 of 2016: Best Couples of 2016

Day 3: Best ________ of 2016 -- Reader's choice of top 10 best villains, contemporaries, dual POV’s, novellas, adult titles, NA titles, love triangles, couples, bad boys or debuts (Reminder: this list is made up of books I have READ this 2016). And just like last year, I chose best COUPLES of 2016.

**I was just complaining about the nonexistence of emojis in blogger but then I remembered...I can actually use emojis now. HOW CAN I FORGET?? 😭😭😂

Top 10 of 2016: Best Book Covers of 2016

Day 2 is Best Book Covers of 2016 featuring my top 10 list of favorite covers of books that were released this 2016. There are SO MANY new releases with gorgeous covers to choose from -- the kind that makes me want to buy a physical copy (in HARDCOVER!) just because of it. This is actually harder than choosing my top 10 favorite reads this year.

Top 10 of 2016: Best Books I’ve Read in 2016

Merry Christmas!!! I hope you had a great one. It's that time of the year again! These last several days of 2016 will be full of yearly recaps and, of course, the Top 10 of 2016, which I now consider a tradition. Thanks to Rachel of Fiktshun, Jaime of Two Chicks on Books, Nancy of Tales of a Ravenous Reader and Bridget of Dark Faerie Tales for hosting this event.

First up is the Top 10 Best Books I've Read in 2016. This year is probably my lowest read count since 2010?? I usually read more than a hundred per year but I don't think I'd be able to read 80 by the time 2016 ends. Sad. At least it makes it easier to come up with this list. Only three 5-star reads this year! :(

November TBR

We only have less than two months left before 2016 ends and I am still far from reaching my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal. At this point it is safe to say that I am going to fail it. For the first time in 5 years I am going to fail my Goodreads Reading Challenge!!! *insert sad faced emoji* This sucks.

Even so, I am not losing hope. I may not be able to read 100 books this year but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop reading (never gonna happen). I am still trying my best to beat this annoying reading slump that's taken hold of me since May (seriously, longest reading slump EVER). It wasn't really that I am not in the mood to read AT ALL. It's just that I can't seem to finish the books I am reading. I have started SO many books this year that I wasn't able to finish for some reason. Not officially a DNF (did-not-finish) that I don't plan to finish ever, more like a I-lost-interest-so-maybe-next-time. So this month's goal is to finally pick up and FINISH all those books that I have left... well, unfinished.

October 2016 TBR

Another month, another attempt at a TBR. Eternally hoping I follow through THIS TIME.

Without further ado, here are the books I plan to read this month:

 

September 2016 TBR

So I haven't been reading that much lately. Well, actually, I read A LOT. I just can't seem to finish an entire book. It's very frustrating.

ANYWAY.

Books I'm Currently Reading

I am currently reading SIX books. It's not something to worry about. I'm used to this - I once had 8 books in my currently reading pile.. But this instance is a little bit surprising because lately I've been pretty one-track in my reading and then suddenly, I started picking up all these book and read them on the spot. Is this a telltale sign of a reading slump? I really hope not.

Girls of YA

Belated happy International Women's Day! Girls, ladies, women.. it's our time of the month, no pun intended >.< But really, March is our month and I'd like to celebrate it by recognizing my favorite heroines in YA fiction. I'm not putting them in any rank since I believe they are special and remarkable in different ways. And don't feel bad if your favorite fictional female is not included in the list - I can't remember every girl character I've met since ever. But feel free to mention it in the comments! I'd love to know.

Hermione Granger? Katniss Everdeen? Princess Leia? No. I’m not including them here because, come on, a lot of people already know them that they don’t need another mention (which I just did, by the way) to make people notice how awesome they are.
