I hope this helps add on to your 2012 list!

(!!!) Books I wish I had right NOW.

Top 5: Number 4

This year, I decided to do something a little bit different than last year. Since last year I did a WHOLE list of top 10 books that I read and loved. I decided that I wanted to do a countdown of the top 5 books that impacted me the most this year.

2011 has been a great year for books, some books I liked better than others.With the help of my friend, I have narrowed down my list of favorite books to five. It was a very hard thing to do, but after an hour of discussion I finally did it. These are all debut books, they came out 2011. I loved other books that weren't released 2011, but maybe I will create a separate list for that one.I will be counting down, on December 31 2011, my #1 debut novel will  be revealed.

In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.

This book, oh, this book, I just simply loved it. I recently had a dream that I had in my hands the ARC of Hallowed, the second book of the series, and one of my most anticipated books of 2012. Seriously, a dream, that is how much I loved this book.

If you love the paranormal, this one if for you. If you think angels are not your thing, think again.If you love hot cowboys, this book is for you.

*Jill MacSweeny just wishes everything could go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she's been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends--everyone who wants to support her. And when her mom decides to adopt a baby, it feels like she's somehow trying to replace a lost family member with a new one.
Mandy Kalinowski understands what it's like to grow up unwanted--to be raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes pregnant, one thing she's sure of is that she wants a better life for her baby. It's harder to be sure of herself. Will she ever find someone to care for her, too?
As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn to both let go and hold on, and that nothing is as easy--or as difficult--as it seems.
Critically acclaimed author and National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr delivers a heart-wrenching story, told from dual perspectives, about the many roads that can lead us home.

I loved this book! So so much, it was one of those books that really impacted me, I could really connect with the characters. Sara Zarr is such a talented writer, I am definitely looking forward to her books in the future, and I will be reading those that have already been released.

If you haven't read this book and you love contemporary, this book should be on your 2012 TBR list.

Today's Question:

Q: If you had to spend eternity inside the pages of a book which book would you choose and why?

 Tough one. I would love to spend eternity in a wonderful place, but that would be just plain boring. So I would love to spend my eternity inside the pages of The Hunger Games. Meeting Katniss, Haymitch, and Gale would be amazing! Also Peeta, my #1 book crush, would be there and I would totally want to bake some bread with him amongst other things. I would not like to be a tribute in THG, but I am curious about how life would be there after Mockingjay happens. In other words, I would spend my eternity in the HG world AFTER Mockingjay, where thing are not so bad anymore.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
