Top Ten Tuesday

This week's topic is:

Top Ten Books I read in 2013

Divergent - Veronica Roth !!

Insurgent - Veronica Roth !!!

Allegiant - Veronica Roth !!!!! Seriously. I'm so glad I got to binge read these all at once. This was just such a fantastic series. I hope the movies do the books justice!

Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell  I fangirled hard over this one. I did a matching manicure and I wrote my first piece of fanfiction for this book. It's soooo amazing!

If He Had Been With Me - Laura Nowlin So much love for this novel. I had not heard anything about it and wasn't expecting much. This book will give you so many feelings. I love it so.

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green Yeah, I waited awhile before reading this. Someone spoiled it for me almost immediately, so I had to wait until I forgot the spoiler. Then, I waited because I knew I would be devastated afterwards. It was soooo good though. 

Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta This is another one where I'm a bit late to the game with. Another heartbreaking but beautiful read. 

Maggot Moon - Sally Gardner A strange little book that was just so powerful. I want more people to read this because I feel like no one has. It deserves to be read!

Winger - Andrew Smith Such a punch in the gut. When I started this, I never would have believed it would have been a top ten pick, but it is! So amazing!

Unravel Me - Tahereh Mafi Warner <3

The Broke and the Bookish is a group of college aged and twenty somethings that have an unhealthy obsession with reading and would spend every last penny on books even if it meant skipping a few meals. We are the people  who lurk in the library, buy handbags based on how many books can be stashed in them, and who refer to characters in books as if they are personal friends.

We sought after other bookish college students to share in our love for reading and were brought together by the College Students group on Goodreads that was created in September 2008. Our desire to share great books with each other in and our tendency to be opinionated and passionate about all things book related naturally led to the birth of The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010.
