Another year is almost over. That means it's time to share what books I read in 2015 were my favorite.
10. Emily books by L.M. Montgomery
If you have followed my blog for a long you know I'm kinda obsessed with all things Anne of Green Gables. It's not a surprise then that I really enjoyed L.M. Montgomery's other popular series, the Emily books.
L.M. Montgomery had a way with words that make her books posses a special quality.
9. Across a Star-Swept Sea by Dian Peterfreund
This Scarlet Pimpernel inspired dystopian is unlike other YA sci-fi. If your looking for a unique and fun read I highly recommend you give this book a try.

8. First Date by Krista McGee
This is by far the best contemporary YA book I read this year. It's inspired by the life of Esther and her faith in God. A must read for fans of Jenny B. Jones and Kiera Cass.

7. Entwined by Heather Dixon
This retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses is just beautiful. The author is fantastic at writing detailed descriptions, making this a lovely read.

6. Homecoming by Kate Hasbrouck
I really enjoyed this Christian fantasy. Not only is it unique and adorable, it also portrays a wonderful example of a personal relationship with God.

5. Dreamtreader by Wayne Thomas Batson
Dreamtreaders is a contemporary - fantasty crossover. It features a fantastical dream world unlike any other. It also has a great message about temptation and persecution.

4. Shadow Hand by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
What can I say? Anne Elisabeth Stengl is a master of writing Fantasy. This book wraps up some plot points found in the previous books in the Tales of Goldstone Wood series nicely.
3. Cress by Marissa Meyer
This is my favorite book (so far) of Lunar Chronicles. It's full a great characters and funny humor. Can't wait to see how Winter picks up were this book left off.

2. Golden Daughter by Anne Elisabeth Stengl
This book features a set characters and setting not previously found in the other books in this series. I hope the author will write more books featuring these characters in the future.

1. Safely Home by Randy Alcorn
This book really changed my perspective of the global church and persecution. It both convicted me and encouraged me in so many ways. I highly recommend this to people of all ages and walks in life.

What about you?
Have you read any of these books?
What are some of your favorite books you read in 2015?
Awesome list! I've read some of these, and others are on my TBR list. Like "First Date." I've been eyeing that one for awhile, but just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe 2016 will be the year.
ReplyDeleteI've also been interested in the "Emily" series. I actually have two of them, but need the first one. Again, maybe 2016...
Happy New Year, Ella! :-D
Happy New Year to you, too! 'First Date' is a fun read. The 'Emily' books are different fro! the 'Anne' books, but are special in their own way.
ReplyDeleteGoodness! How DID I miss this!? (And here we are already three months into 2016... yikes!) Anyway, First Date looks fun and I adore Krista's writing, so I'm sure I'll enjoy that. Also, someday I should read L.M. Montgomery novels because CLASSIC! :)
ReplyDeleteThis year is already going by sooo fast.
DeleteI haven't read any other books by Krista McGee besides 'First date'. I 've heard her other books are great, though.
L.M.Montgomery's books are the perfect type of classic books.
