Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly theme hosted by the Broke & the Bookish.
This week's theme is the top ten books I've read in 2015. I could do a variety of lists, but I know myself well enough to know that I can't just pick 10! So here's what I came up with.
2. Accept This Dandelion by Brooke Williams - This was so much fun to read. I giggled my way through it.
3. Dandelion Field by Kathryn Springer - The story in this one kept me turning the pages. The way that there were two stories really being told at the same time.
4. How to Catch a Prince by Rachel Hauck - My favorite of the Royal Wedding Series. I loved this one.
5. From the Start by Melissa Tagg - Her books have captivated me from the first, and this one wasn't any exception.
6. Hearts Made Whole by Jody Hedlund - I loved Ryan in this book. He gave a whole new meaning to the "wounded" hero.
7. Not By Sight by Kate Breslin - I loved her debut last year. This one was a great second novel.
8. The Gifting Series by K. E. Ganshert - I read all three of these in one weekend I believe.
9. Fire and Ice by Mary Connealy - I'd been wanting Bailey's story since book 1. Was so glad to get it in this one.
10. Through Waters Deep by Sarah Sundin - I love the cover on this book. I love her writing.
11. Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar - It's been a while since I read one of his books. This one was a surprise delight.
12. One More Wish by Robin Jones Gunn - Robin's books are like old friends. Even when it's a new book. They are truly a breath of fresh air.
13. Mistress of Tall Acre by Laura Frantz - Laura's books make me long to be in the period of history. They truly are amazing.
14. The Wedding Chapel by Rachel Hauck - If I wasn't already a fan of Rachel's, then this book would have made me one. It's that good.
15. The Isle of Hope by Julie Lessman - Julie's first contemporary novel. There are enough fun characters in it to make me not sad that she's writing contemporary instead of historical. Though I still love her historicals.
16. Wings of Glory Series by Sarah Sundin - These have been on my list for a while. I'm so glad that I got to them, finally. Book 3 is my favorite.
17. Noble Masquerade by Kristi Ann Hunter - I kept hearing about this book. I was glad to finally read it.
18. The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan - I'd forgotten how funny his books are until I started this one. I love his sense of humor.
19. Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George - I love fairytale retellings. This one retells the Twelve Dancing Princesses.
20. Sabotaged by Dani Pettrey - I kept waiting for Reef's story. I was not disappointed in it at all.
Now for some that are mostly rereads:
21. Short Straw Bride & Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer - These are my two favorites by Karen.
22. Juliet by Anne Fortier - I loved this one from the first time that I read it. This time through, I was buddy reading it, and I loved it even more.
23. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling - One of my friends is reading this series for the first time, and I said I'd buddy with her on these. No matter how many times I read them, Harry Potter never gets old.
DAWN!!! I am soooo very honored that you put Isle of Hope on your list, my friend -- THANK YOU!! What a great way to wake up, especially when I see the company I keep -- MANY of my favorite authors, so I am doubly blessed.
