BEST BOOKS OF 2013

January 2, 2014 by Aestas · 75 Comments

Dammit.

I totally was going for a quick, short list of my favorite reads of the year so far. HA!!!! I swear this started out as a Top 10 list… But just like with last year, a Top 10, Top 15, Top 20, Top 50 etc just wasn’t enough. I just kept adding more and more books that I loved from this year and pretty soon I lost count and honestly didn’t want to take any off the list. I loved them all for different reasons — some of them made me feel so strongly that even just thinking back on them brings a lump to my throat, some of them made me laugh (or cry) so much that I could barely see the page through my tears, some were just so refreshingly different and unique that they stood out to me, some were beautifully written, some were off-the-charts HOT, and some were a blend of all of the above.

Bottom line, all of these books rocked my world this year and I feel like they all deserve to be showcased. So I just gave up on the idea of a short list and decided to feature them all. So here they are… my favorite books read since Jan 2013 🙂

SIGNED GIVEAWAY — ONE TINY LIE by KA TUCKER

Ten Tiny Breaths series fans!!

We’re celebrating today’s paperback release of book #2 in the series, ONE TINY LIE, with a special signed giveaway from Atria!! If you are new to the series, I’ve listed all the series below for you. And then be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to enter!!

Good luck everyone!!!

❤ ABOUT THE BOOK ❤

In this follow-up novel to the top-selling Ten Tiny Breaths, Livie Cleary faces a new set of challenges as she navigates freshman year at Princeton, wild parties, and the gorgeous rowing team captain who is everything she doesn’t want in a guy, or so she thinks…

“Make me proud.” These were the last words Livie’s father ever spoke to her. In the seven years since her parents’ tragic death, Livie has done her best to keep this promise through her every choice, word, and action, while looking after her sister with strength and maturity. But with college right around the corner, unexpected challenges will test her resilience—and her heart.

Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy to marry someday. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots; a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say “no” to; and Ashton, the arrogant—and extremely attractive—captain of the men’s rowing team who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?

As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.
