30 of my favorite books that I've read in the last 2 years - picspam for fandomverse

I shamelessly stole the idea for this entry from some people who entered before me, except these books aren't my all-time favorites, they're just my recent favorites. Though of course some of them are also my all-time favorites, especially those in the top rows. The books are listed roughly in order of how much I loved them, but it was super hard to decide, so in many cases the order could be different and it would still be right.

You're more than welcome to use this post as a rec post. :D The titles are Goodreads links!

♥ It was a bit of a guilty pleasure, hee, but I'm not ashamed at all, I adored it. :D

You have just given me some fabulous books to add to my TBR list!!

I loved Vanishing Acts and The Virgin Suicides too.

[facethestrange]

YAY, mission accomplished! ;) You need to post about them when/if you read them! :D

The Hours is a fantastic book, along with The Green Mile <3

I'll have to check out a few of the others :)

I read both of these books because of the movies, and I'm glad I did. ♥ I wanted to rate The Hours higher than I did, but I couldn't rate the other books any lower, lol.

I hope you enjoy them if you do check them out! :)

I love Jodi Picoult! I've read most of her books, but I don't think I've read Second Glance. My friend's even met her a few times & gotten me autographs! :)

[facethestrange]

That's so awesome! :D I've only read 7 Jodi Picoult books (it's weird to say "only 7", but she wrote so many more... I think I own 5 more and it's still not everything), but so far Second Glance and Nineteen Minutes are my favorites. They're not similar to each other at all, though. :)

That Ash cover is very pretty! <3
