Sunita’s Best of 2013

SunitaNeed A Rec! / Top Ten ListsBest of 2013 / best of list11 Comments

I want to echo what Jane said in her Best of 2013 post: “Reading is such a subjective thing so no doubt these lists have a number of books readers won’t agree with. The lists are not only flawed by the bias of the people creating the lists, but also ... more >

Jayne’s Best of 2013

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / B+ Reviews / Need A Rec! / Reading Lists / Top Ten ListsBest of 2013 / best of list21 Comments

The last few years I’ve done these year end lists, I’ve come up short of 10. I’ve realized either I’m not reading the right books for me, I’m too picky a reader or I’m totally out of touch with what’s popular right now. So when my list kept growing all ... more >

JiaReading Lists / Top Ten ListsBest of 2013 / best of list11 Comments

Sadly, the fantasy novel drought continues. I still read fantasy novels, of course, but they’re usually by my tried and true favorites. It’s been a long time since I last got excited about a debut author or a new series. (N.K. Jemisin and Kate Elliott’s Spiritwalker books, in case you’re ... more >

Willaful’s Best of 2013

WillafulReading Lists / Top Ten ListsBest of 2013 / best of list12 Comments

My best of list surprises me, because I’m not generally a huge fan of contemporaries. But I’m all about angst, and we had some intense contemporary drama in 2013. Also, I haven’t enjoyed the direction my first love, historicals, has been going of late, although I did find four titles ... more >
