13. The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love by Sarvenaz Tash

As a girl whose favorite genre is contemporary, I'm pleasantly surprised that half the list is fantasy. I do love fantasy, don't get me wrong, but it's never been as near and dear to my heart as realistic fiction. 
Anyways, what books have you loved this year?

  10. BASICALLY this is the list of books I need to get to ASAP (save The Unexpected Everything, which is the only one I've read off this list)! I am excited to read the Winner's trilogy. I have the whole series so that I can binge it! Great list!
