Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Favorite Books Released In the Last Ten Years, highlighting one favorite books per year. What a great excuse for a trip back through my shelves!
It’s really hard to come up with just one favorite per year, so some of these are chosen somewhat arbitrarily from among all my five-star reads. If I’ve reviewed the book here on my blog, the link is provided — check it out if interested!

Bookshelf Fantasies 
Quite a few on my shelf!
Always nice to meet people who love the same books! 🙂
I love this list! You’ve inspired me to look through my own books to see what my favorites were for each year. What a fun idea. 🙂
It really was pretty fun to look back — although for some of these, the year I actually read them is quite different than the publication year. 🙂
You have a wonderful list here. The Martian was a great read!
My TTT.
It was so unique at the time! I really enjoyed the movie version as well.
I’m seeing a lot of Wayward Children picks, and for good reason! It’s such a fun series, and I just love seeing all the worlds come to life. I really need to pick up some Mira Grant books, too. Haven’t read that Stephen King yet, either. Great choices!
Here’s my TTT post.
Even though the Mira Grant book came out in 2010, I didn’t actually read it until last year — and then I couldn’t stop until I’d read the whole series. She’s so talented!
I grabbed a Kindle copy of Into the Drowning Deep this year, so that’ll probably end up being the first of her novels that I read. :3
Ooh, that’s a good one — but you have to read the novella (Rolling in the Deep) that comes before it first!
I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks. 😀
Great list! I adore Feed, and I’m really glad to see Girl Waits with Gun on your list – I have a copy and haven’t read it yet!
Girl Waits with Gun is so good! I’ve read all 4 books in the series so far, and can’t wait for #5! (If you like audiobooks, then maybe give it a try that way? The audio narrator is terrific.)
Such a great list! 🙂
Thanks!
Nice list! I keep meaning to pick up Feed, I’ve really enjoyed Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire’s other work that I’ve read! Midwinter Blood is one I’ve also been wanting to check out. 🙂
I’m so glad I finally read Feed! I’d been putting it off for years, but once I started, I read straight through the entire series and related stories. 🙂
I really should have read Every Heart a Doorway sooner. It’s such a great novella. Great list!
Thanks! Have you read the other Wayward Chlidren stories? They’re all so good!
I read Down Among the Sticks and Bones.
That’s such a good one!
Jack is my forever favorite.
Oh great list! I really need to read the martian and under the dome!

Both are terrific!
I’ve never read these!
Well, I can definitely recommend all of them!
Lovely list – I will check out that Gabaldon book.
Thanks
Lynn 😀
It’s #8 in the series — have you read the others?
Great list! The martian is so good!!
It really was such a fun read. 🙂
