BookishThoughts' Top 13 Books of 2013

it's not my favorite of the five ancient Greek novels however I did thoroughly enjoy it and my two favorites I read in 2012 so there was a little bit more suspense in this one for me than I felt were in the other ones

I really like that about John W's wring style I know some people don't enjoy that I think it's good I really enjoy it and I think this book is great and really worth checking out even if you're not really into science fiction

I have never really been this hooked by a piece of ancient non-fiction it was really fascinating the introduction was so accessible and so well written

I just thought for what that book was a children's book for probably under 10 I was really impressed I thought it was absolutely perfect it was perfect for what it was and I really enjoyed reading it

I just think it's a phenomenal manga series I think it's a great place to start with manga. it's also a little bit of a mixture between contemporary real life and magic realism

Philip Pullman's imagination blew me away and the world he created was so interesting and intricate and the charact the main character Liza was really engaging and endearing

I did actually cry in this book it really tugged in my heartstrings it was very emotional. but it is well worth a read it is absolutely fantastic book and I flew through it despite it being of a reasonable size

although it was a very slow start up until about page 100 I was not enamored I was like this is this is kind of mediocre but after that it made up for it was fantastic and I really enjoyed it

because of The Hobbit release and rewatching the Lord of the Rings films I was inspired to finally read the books and if you haven't read them but really enjoy the films then they are well worth a read

I read two John Windam books this year and started a third couldn't really pick between this and the midw cooko but I decided to go for chalky

this graphic novel in particular I just think is perfect for Book Lovers I haven't gotten very far in this series yet but I'm really excited to because there's a lot of threads in the story

it is one that gave me a real book hangover I finished it and just didn't even know what to do with myself. it's one of those books that's really given me faith in the ya genre

it is very disturbing and very gripping and not very long so a really enjoyable fast paced read that will keep you gripped and again Shirley Jackson's Pros are just incredibly elegent and beautiful
