This week’s prompt for Top Ten Tuesday is “Top Ten Books You Would Classify As ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS from the past 3 years”. Which is a cruel one, I think, because argh, there are so many, and how can I remember when I read them all? But here’s a rough guess. These are, of course, books I’ve read in the last three years, not books published in the last three years, because I say so.
- The Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison. C’mon, you called it.
- Among Others, Jo Walton. This might be a bit out of the range now, but I’ve reread it in the last three years!
- Cuckoo Song, Frances Hardinge. I might shut up about this, someday.
- Behind the Shock Machine, Gina Perry. So much research went into this, and it’s a fascinating view on a very famous experiment.
- The Universe Versus Alex Woods, Gavin Extence. Lots of issues that fascinate me, wrapped up in an emotional book.
- The Dragon Waiting, John M. Ford. Man, this took so much digging through layers of stuff. I loved it.
- Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened, Allie Brosh. Because <3.
- The Grand Sophy, Georgette Heyer. Heyer is awesome, okay.
- The Carpet Makers, Andreas Eschbach. I remember this blowing my mind!
- The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern. Gorgeous. <3
Tahdah! Now I daren’t look at other people’s lists, you’ll make me want stuff…
I’d already completed ten books PUBLISHED in the last 3-5 years which was a struggle, then I realised everyone else seemed to be going for READ in the last 3-5 years so I went back and changed a couple of books! Still not 100% happy but blogger is playing up today and I don’t have the energy to fight it to change another on the list!
I thought about doing that, but I’m hopeless at even keeping track, soooooo I went for what was a bit easier!
The Night Circus is definitely one of my favorites, even though it didn’t quite make my list this week.
Yeaaah, it’s a gorgeous book.
The Night Circus was absolutely gorgeous!
Check out my TTT.
It really is!
I just lent The Night Circus from the library! I’ve heard such incredible things, I’m really excited to read it. And I saw The Universe Versus Alex Woods there as well so I’ll probably check that one out next time.
Great list!
It’s really lovely. And I do love The Universe Versus Alex Woods.
Hyperbole and a Half just tickled me silly. Such a great read, and with surprising depth too. I loved Among Others as well, and am mad at myself for buying My Real Children by Jo Walton about a year ago and still not getting around to it! I do need to read more by her. Great list!
It iiiiis. And oh, you need to read My Real Children! It’s really good.
