Arctic Books’s Favorite Books of the Year!

As it’s nearing the end of the year (once again! how!!!), it seems fitting that I, Alice, should discuss a few of my favorite books that I’ve read this year. I find that this is always fun to do, since I love looking back at the books I’ve read in preparation for future reading! Without further ado, here are my top 8 books I’ve read this year!

1. HOW TO MAKE A WISH // I loved the bisexual representation in this novel, and I can’t wait to read more of Ashley’s words.

2. THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER // I can’t believe it took me this long to read this series, but when I started, I marathoned through all three. I loved it.

3. THE END OF OUR STORY // This novel deals with a lot of tough topics, but I really enjoyed the emotional impact. I didn’t know I enjoyed second chance romances this much.

4. FURTHERMORE // Of course I loved Tahereh’s middle grade. I’ll read WHICHWOOD eventually, I swear.

5. STARFISH // This is probably the most profound, artistic, beautiful book I’ve ever read. It follows a biracial artist as she figures out her family, friendship, and romance.

6. GODSGRAVE // An action-packed sequel to NEVERNIGHT, GODSGRAVE kicked my ass in the best way.

7. STRANGE THE DREAMER // This book contained dreamy, luscious writing, and I can’t wait to pick up THE MUSE OF NIGHTMARES.

8. GIRLS MADE OF SNOW AND GLASS // A feminist, more gay retelling of Snow White, this book is not one to miss.
