These 4 books are SO amazing, they're seriously interchangeable for my FAVORITE read of this year. They're all very different, but one thing that connects them is that they all deal with mature/hard subjects. They're emotional reads and they will grip your heart. They all hit my all-time favorites list, but to elaborate a little further...

#1: Vain: I can hardly use words to accurately describe how beautiful and pure genius this book truly is, but I managed to write something about it in my review of it so please check it out. If you haven't read Vain yet, you seriously need to make it a priority to do so. The second I flipped to the last page, I flipped to the beginning and reread it. I'm not even joking. You will not forget this story.

#2: Pushing the Limits: Echo and Noah do not have easy lives by any means and after they enter each other's lives, they're lives get complicated, but at the same time, they start to straighten and make sense because what they have together...is absolutely beautiful. My full review...

#3: The Sea of Tranquility: Nastya doesn't speak to anyone for two years...until him. Practically every person Josh has ever cared for has died...and then she enters his life. This story is heart-wrenching, breath-taking, makes-you-want-to-savor-every-word beautiful. Full review TO COME.

#4: Hopeless: The emotions in this one are CRAZY! Colleen Hoover is an absolutely brilliant writer and if you love NA romance and haven't read this, you are truly missing out! You can see my old review HERE while I'm in the process of editing/re-reviewing it on my blog.

#5: The Covenant series: Maybe this is a smidge of cheating, but I read this series (4 novels, 2 novellas, and the last installment is still to come in November) throughout the last few months and it's so amazeballs that I couldn't pick just one as my favorite for this list--so I chose the whole series! The writing is fantastic, lots of dialogue if you are a dialogue lover, the characters are so lovable and funny, the romance is fabulous, and the Greek mythology and action is wonderful! I have reviewed Daimon, Half-Blood, Pure, and Deity so far. Elixir and Apollyon reviews will be up within the next two weeks. :)

#6: My Life Next Door: Sweet, makes-you-feel-good, summer read! I totally recommend it! My full review...

#7: Running on Empty: So many wonderful components to it, but the thing I like most about this series is that the experiences are very realistic. My full review...

#8: Shatter Me: This was probably the best dystopian/romance YA novel I've ever read. Just saying. My full review...

#9: Callum & Harper: Such a guilty pleasure read for me! After falling in love with Fisher Amelie and her writing in Vain I had to check out her other books. My full review...

#10: Find Your in the Dark: I finished this last night so review is still to come, but I couldn't help but add it to this TTT list. The characters are lovable (except when you want to punch them) and it's funny (except when it's dark and sad...which it tends to be, especially towards the end). It's kind of a messed up read, the love is irrational and it leads to some not-so-good things, but I loved it all the same! I'm going to read the sequel soon, which seems like it won't be as dark of a read!!
