Happy New Years Everyone!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Today I am happy to have one of my favorite bloggers I met this year, Hilda from Catch the Lune, present her top books of 2012 on my blog! Hilda is a friendly blogger and I always enjoy visiting her blog. I want to first compliment Hilda's amazing graphics that she designed for this post! They are all gorgeous!
Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone!
My name is Hilda and you can always find me on my blog, Catch the Lune. First of all, I
have to tell you how excited I am to have a chance to do guest post in Rachel’s
blog! Rachel’s blog has always been one of my favorites, so it’s so great to be
here! :) *look around in awe in Rachel’s wonderblog*
Today, I will share about my top seven books read
in 2012! Without further ado, here is the (much shortened) list:
1. Mockingjay by
Suzanne Collins – read in January
2012
I know! It’s
terrible that it took me two years to read this book. I know that some people
don’t like the ending, but I personally think it’s beautiful and perfectly
flawed. Team Peeta forever! ;)
2. Wanderlove by
Kirsten Hubbard – read in February
2012
I really like
the main character of this story, Bria. She reminds me of myself with her
wanderlust and spontaneous side LOL! ;) Plus, the illustrations inside are
really lovely! This book makes me want to be backpacker and travel around the
world. :)
3. Divergent by
Veronica Roth – read in May 2012
This.is.AWESOMENESS.
My feelings, aaaah. Tris and Four. ♥ Oh –em-gee, I think I could even
write thousands reviews on this book. ;) Anyway, I’m an Abnegation! Who else is
in the selfless faction? ;)
4. Arranged by
Catherine McKenzie – read in May 2012
Such a lovely
story! I weirdly like the idea of arranged marriage (No, seriously. Strange I
know), and I’m in love with references to Anne of Green Gables in this book. Must
read for fans of fluffy romance. :)
5. The Night
Circus by Erin Morgenstern – read in
October 2012
Enchanting,
magical, and beautiful – I run out of adjectives to describe this book. This
book is practically dripping with awesomeness. ♥ Recommended to everyone who
has ability to read. ;)
6. The
Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky – read in October 2012
Charlie! It’s
impossible to hate this guy. He’s just lovable. I also love the writing, it’s
very easy to follow. Charlie felt like a dear friend of mine when I finished
it. The way he makes mixtape for Christmas gift is such a lovely idea as well!
:’)
7. The
Fault in Our Stars by John Green – read
in December 2012
*sheds tears*
John Green is a GENIUS. It’s very romantic, and I couldn’t function well for
few days after reading it. I’m still having heartache every time I think about
it. It’s strange that love seems like the easiest and the hardest thing that
comes to our lives. :’)
The
books above are highly recommended. I also have a very long list of books published
in 2013 I can’t wait to read. (Thankfully 21st of December is not the end of
the world :P)
2013
wish: I hope that J.K. Rowling would magically publish a children book in 2013,
that heroines in YA would be more like Katniss and Tris and Hermione, that Gayle
Forman’s new book would pluck my heartstrings and make me cry all over again. Oh,
and finger crossed that Finnick Odair in the movie would be as breathtakingly-amazing-omg-someone-hold-me as
the book. ;)
Thank
you for reading this, everyone! What is
your favorite book read in 2012? :)
OMG I SO AGREE ABOUT DIVERGENT <333 AND THE FAULT IN OUR STARS!
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read the other books, but I've heard such amazing things of them! ESPECIALLY Perks! I'm reading the book and then watching the movie later on and I have really high expectations and I hope I love it as much as you, Hilda!
Love the gifs! :D
Divergent! Loved that one. I have but I'm afraid to read The Fault of Our Stars. Don't want to cry. Love all the graphics and guest post, Hilda and Rachel! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely guest post by Hilda! I totally agree with TFiOS - wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I have read most of these books last year too. Divergent, Perk of Being A Wallflower, The Fault In Our Stars...These books are really just fantastic. Great post Hilda and Rachel. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's Hilda! We missed you, dearest!
ReplyDeleteI was WRECKED, an absolute emotional mess after reading Mockingjay. gosh, the characters broke my heart. :( Wanderlove was easily one of my favourite books of 2012, and so lovely!
Fabulous post ladies, and happy New Year to both of you!
P.S. FINNICK ODAIR <3
Wanderlove, Divergent, and TFiOS were all some of my faves too! Amazing list, Rachel! :) Unfortunately, Mockingjay was a disappointment for me, but I do need to read Perks and The Night Circus, so I'm thrilled that you adored those! Happy New Year! :D
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely love this post Hilda! The gif's are so awesome! I especially love the one of the cute kid! I agree I absolutely loved Divergent too, it's a definite favourite of this year along with Shadows by Paula Weston and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful post, HAPPY NEW YEAR! First off, the graphics and GIFs are so so awesome ^.^ I still need to read Catching Fire, then I can move on to Mockingjay and decide if I like the finale :D DIVERGENT - I am most definitely reading that this year... I absolutely MUST! And Wanderlove seems so sweet - must check it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful post, Hilda and Rachel <3
I really, really need to read The Fault in Our Stars - I've heard nothing but AMAZING Things about it, and I can't believe I haven't given it a try already. Or anything by John Green. I fail. This is a fantastic list Hilda, thanks to you and Rachel for sharing!
