Top Ten Books You Would Classify as All Time Favorite Books from the Past Three Years

3/3/2015

Time for another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! I wasn't sure if I could come up with ten favorite books from the past three years, but it turns out I've read more amazing books than I thought! In fact, I had a hard time narrowing the list down to just ten books. Here they are, in no particular order:

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig
A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman
The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain

I loved reading your list, I have read Wonder too and I really loved it. Also thought Ella Minnow Pea was very good and very cleverly done. Quiet is on my tbr pile as is Garden Spells.

Wonder was a special book. I loved the way it told the story from so many characters' perspectives. Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors. I hope you enjoy Garden Spells when you get a chance to read it!

Seeing The Night Circus on here made me happy, it is an all time favourite of mine.

You've got a couple of books on here that I hope to get round to at some point - Wonder and Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore.

I don't buy books at full price very often, but The Night Circus was one I had to own! Same thing with Mr. Penumbra. You should read it soon! ;)

I have Quiet coming up soon and I hope to read Ella Minnow Pea this year. It sounds like such fun!

Ella Minnow Pea was definitely fun - and a pretty impressive piece of writing! I hope you enjoy it!

I really enjoyed Quiet as well! It taught me so much about myself as a person and really changed how I look at the world, particularly how we define success and even ideas about what is "good." It's such a powerful and thought-provoking read!

It really was a powerful read - and one that everyone should read, introverts and extroverts alike! I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!

Mr Penumbra is also on my list. I loved Ella Minnow Pea, but read it many years ago, so didn't qualify. Here is my TTT: http://wordsandpeace.com/2015/03/03/my-top-10-all-time-favorite-books/
