Top 10 of 2015: Best Book Boyfriends of 2015!!


 Once again I'm very happy to join one more year in the Top 10 of 2015 week hosted by Rachel from Reading YA Rocks, Jamie from Two Chicks On Books, Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads and Nancy of Tales of A Ravenous Reader.

Today we're gonna be talking about all those swoon-worthy guys we love! To make it slightly easier to pick and choose the guys must be from book published in 2015 that we've read in 2015!



Best Book Boyfriends of 2015




SmallvilleGuy from Lois Lane: Fall Out by Gwenda Bond - We only get to meet him through is IM conversations with Lois, but I simply loved what we saw of him and how much he cared for Lois.

Kaz from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - Oh dear Kaz... broken in many guys and quite the opposite of a nice guy, but I totally fell head over heels for him!!


Jason Moros from Fated by Sarah Fine - Oh boy, Jason Moros! A dangerous foe and dangerously sexy not-exactly-a-man... He wouldn't allow himself attachments, but when he does... when he does he doesn't give up and would go to hell for you!


Aedion from Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas - We finally get to meet Aedion properly and with his wit, sarcasm, Fae tendencies and cocky attitude, I was swooning even as I wanted to smack him in the head now and then!



Odysseus from Ungodly by Kendare Blake - I love this quick-witted, Goddess-loving rogue! He knew when to push and when to give Athena space, and I simply loved him!


Elias from An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir - Elias is trying to be true to himself, run away from the cruelty and bloodthirst of an Empire he never wanted part of and he can still kick arse in the process. A good guy in a bad situation for sure!


Reyes Alexander Farrow from Eighth Grave After Dark by Darynda Jones - Reyes is the son of Satan (like he really is, not a figure of speech) and he is the damned sexiest alpha male ever, even if he sometimes goes to the arsepha side...


Tobiah Pierce from The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows - I was undecided about Tobiah for a good part of the book, but then he really proved himself as a very much worthy book boyfriend!


Simon Wolfgard from Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop - This is one of those book boyfriends that you know are not a good idea, but you cannot help it! Simon is one of the others, a wolf that can take human shape and is learning to also be a mix of wolf and human that is simply fantastic!


James Mycroft from Every Word by Ellie Marney - Oh boy, Mycroft is the kind of brilliant and passionate and broken that always manages to draw me in! All the swoons!



Aaaaand one special mention as an extra for Kaidan Rowe! He's always been a big book boyfriend candidate but getting his POV in the last book of the series: Sweet Temptation has been just swoontastic! Thank you Wendy Higgins for that!

Top 10 of 2015: Best Book Covers of 2015!!


This year I'm very happy to once again join in the Top 10 of 2015 week hosted by Rachel from Reading YA Rocks, Jamie from Two Chicks On Books, Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads and Nancy of Tales of A Ravenous Reader.

Today I'm gonna try my best to actually limit myself to just 10 book covers from all the gorgeous books released on 2015. Once again it's gonna be very hard work, but I hope to do better than I did yesterday trying to choose my 10 Best Books (I failed miserably at that!). This time I'm gonna allow for books that I haven't read yet or books that I read early, because there are some covers that need to be in this top 10 for sure!!

Top 10 of 2015: Best Books I've Read on 2015!!


This year I'm very happy to once again join in the Top 10 of 2015 week hosted by Rachel from Reading YA Rocks, Jamie from Two Chicks On Books, Mindy from Magical Urban Fantasy Reads and Nancy of Tales of A Ravenous Reader.

We're gonna start the week right, with our Top 10 Best Books we've read this year. They don't have to have been published this year, but they must have been read this year.

Since there have been so many books and choosing just 10 is gonna be tough, I decided to list here only those that weren't debuts, and then on Wednesday I'll share my Top 10 Debuts of 2015, so I'll have another 10 awesome books that I loved this year. Not only that, I'm only choosing those that were published on 2015 that I've read on 2015! And it will still be a struggle...




Best Books I've Read on 2015


For this top 10 I've decided to stick only to YA books and at the end I'll be adding some honorable mentions of adult books I've loved! All the books in this list were 5 stars for me! (yes, I have indeed cheated, it is a top 15, but I couldn't take any of these from the list!).

And now for some honorary mentions that do deserve as much praise and love and these 15 previous ones!

- Every Word  & Every Move by Ellie Marney - This whole trilogy is one of my fave recent reads, and as a comtemporary retelling of Sherlock Holmes, I have ALL THE LOVE FOR IT! Release days are different for AUS & UK than for US, so many of my friends are still waiting for the final book. That's mainly the reason why I had these two here together instead of in the main list, confusing release dates!

- Written in Red, Murder of Crows & Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop - I read the whole series when I was approved for Vision in Silver via NG and holy crow, had I been missing out!! I'm already planning a re-read before Marked in Flesh next year!! Adult paranormal books and one of my new absolute fave series!

- The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev - Adult romance set in India and US, absolutely loved it to bits! Which is quite saying something given that I am not a big romance reader.

- When A Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare - This year I started reading a lil bit more of historical romance on my friend Alyssa from The Eater of Books recommendation, and I absolutely adored this one!

There are many other amazing books I've read that were published this year but I was lucky enough to read early, so I didn't include them in this list. And I always feel awful having to pick and choose, even when I cheat!
