Morning, readers!
I got sidetrack when The Hot Zone came on TV. So I’m not surprised I’ll have another late night. My body may hate me when I wake up though.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. The last topic of the month is books released in the last decade.
I knew not being thorough with my Goodreads account would bite me in the ass someday. And that day has arrived. I joined Goodreads in 2015, so I’m going off the books’ release dates, not the year I read them.
I hope you love the post!
2010 | The Reckoning
Even after all these years, I still love the Darkest Powers. My OTP not only happened but also thrived, and I still squee over them.
2011 | Angelfall
You don’t know how much I had to read the sequel after I finished Angelfall. I couldn’t rave about it enough. Angels coming down to Earth, experimenting on humans, and budding forbidden love? I was sold instantly.
2012 | Shadow and Bone
I hesitated starting the series. I had high expectations after I finished reading Six of Crows. And while I enjoyed most of it, I believe Shadow and Bone is my favourite.
2013 | Omens
I fell hard for Cainsville and all the intriguing characters with complex backstories.
2014 | Cress
I loved Cresswell before reading the Lunar Chronicles. You don’t know how much I adored reading this book.
2015 | Queen of Shadows
Other than Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows is on the top of my list. The worldbuilding and character development are superb. And this is when I championed hard for Rowaelin.
2016 | And I Darken
I can’t forget Lada, our stab-happy heroine who likes nothing more than to kill, maim, and destroy.
2017 | The Tiger’s Ambush
Af first, I hated Austin. Well, I strongly disliked him. But over time, I grew to like him. But I can’t deny that I fell in love with this cocky bastard after I read Tiger’s Ambush.
2018 | Sunshine and Bullets
The Bullets are the ultimate book boyfriends. I can’t stop thinking about the series. Reverse harem is tricky in some genres, but Coralee somehow makes it work in a dark romance and crime combo.
2019 | The Gilded Wolves
I’m glad this title is the first Roshani book I’ve ever read. Decadence and magic blend together in this enchanting new heist title.
I remember loving the Darkest Powers books back in middle school…ahh, memories ❤️

Cress was maybe my favorite Lunar Chronicles book too. Then again, I find myself saying that about all of them!

I really need to read The Gilded Wolves. I’ve heard so many people say they love it! I adored A Crown of Wishes by Chokshi, the hate-to-love was done so well!!

Yeah, Goodreads made putting my list together much easier, though once you go back into 2011 and 2010, my stats started getting really spotty as I wasn’t as good with keeping my profile up to date back then, haha! I loved Angelfall, and I still need to read that Kelley Armstrong series. Thus far I’ve only read her thrillers, but something tells me I’ll probably love her fantasy as well.

Great list! I found this one challenging because I don’t normally pay attention to the publication dates/years. But I looked at Goodreads’ top books released in those years and checked what I read 😅 I love the Lunar Chronicles and ToG series!
