We asked some of our favorite authors what were some of their favorite reads of 2013. There are some on here that we loved, and more than a few to add to our to-be-read lists!! Enjoy...
Hm.. My favorite read this year was Drowning by Rachel Firasek. It's an epic book and her writing style gels so well with my reading style! Plus I loved Teresa Mummert's Damaged Series!
~ Debra Anastasia
Ummmm. Probably The 5th Wave and Out of Line were my two favorites of the year. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey just had such amazing storytelling that I adored it. And Out of Line by Jen McLaughlin was hella sexy. ;)
~Nazarea Andrews
One of my Fave reads of 2013 is Unteachable by Leah Raeder :)
~Lauren Blakely
I'd have to go with Theft by BK Loren.
~Catherine Ryan Hyde
It's hard to pick just one, but I'd have to say Beneath The Scars by Ottilie Weber really touched my heart. (click on the link for a chance to win a copy on Goodreads ~Wendy)
Ottilie writes in such a welcoming, down to earth style. Her characters tug at the heartstrings. She knows how to create a slow burn of a romance between two people that readers can't help falling in love with. She blends tragedy with redemption in such a seamless and powerful way. This is a book that resonates. It serves as a moving tribute to the many injured and returning vets from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a symbol of hope to the ones who love them.
~Faith Sullivan
Making Faces by Amy Harmon.
~R.L. Griffin
I would say The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. I loved how real and gritty it was. It totally consumed me. A real roller coaster ride of emotions! :)
~ Karli Perrin
Such a good question! I haven't had the opportunity to read very much this year, but one that sticks with me is Playing the Part by Robin Covington. ️
~Gina Maxwell
I loved the Consequences Series by Aleatha Romig!
~RS Grey
Keep Me Still by Caisey Quinn
The Best Laid Plans by Tamara Mataya
Beautiful Oblivion by Addison Moore
Unteachable by Leah Raeder
Quintessentially Q by Pepper Winters
~Layla Hagen
Thanks for inviting me to contribute. My top 5 for the year in no particular order are:
3. The Thrill of It by Lauren Blakely
~Jessie Evans
I know it's going to make me sound like a goober, but I only just read The Hunger Games and it was some kind of awesome! That would probably top the year for me right now:)
