This week’s Top 5 Wednesday topic is your top 5 favorite books that you read this year. While I didn’t read nearly as many books as I had hoped that I would, this year was pretty fantastic in terms of quality of books read. It was difficult to narrow this list down to just five, but there were definitely a few novels that particularly stuck out this year. These have not only become some of my top favorite novels of all time, but all of these authors were new to me and are now on my favorite authors list as well!
5. Jackaby by William Ritter
This was pitched as “Doctor Who meets Sherlock”, so of course I had to read this immediately—and thankfully, it did not disappoint!

4. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
This was my first read of 2015 and an absolutely brilliant way to start off my reading for the year.

This was my first Gillian Flynn book, and by far one of the most intriguing and captivating novels that I read all year.
