Devils and Thieves seems like such a cool book. Reading your review, we also dislike love triangles (it gets so messy!) but the cover and your positive thoughts on it makes it seem a like nice read.
ReplyDeleteWe have haven't really read 2017 releases this year, but A Streetcar Named Desire is our favourite read this year. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful new Year!

Love triangles are the worst! But the book didn't have a terrible love triangle so it was okay. ;) Merry Christmas, ladies!
DeleteI love your top 10, I haven't read any of the books but there are a lot on my TBR!

They are really great book! ;) Merry Christmas!
DeleteYes! I loved Avenged, Letters to the Lost, and Duels and Deception too.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff indeed! All different genres too, which is cool. :D
DeleteFun to see what made your Best of list. Many are on my wish list still. I don't think I could get it down to just ten so way to go. I really want to read that Sophie Jordan series.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Alyssa!
It was super difficult to narrow it down to ten! I actually had about twenty for each (adult and YA) and had to cut both down in half. I'm not convinced I got all of my favorites in there!
DeleteGreat giveaways! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
DeleteLetters to the lost seems to be on alot of peoples lists and its one I really want to read.
ReplyDeleteAlso some of my faves is Inferno by Catherine Doyle and Royal Affair by Parker Swift
DeleteIt was an excellent book (Letters to the Lost)!
DeleteMy favorite this year was The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
ReplyDeleteAHHH! I still need to read this book! D:
DeleteTwo of my favorites were The Hate U Give and Turtles All the Way Down.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the YA prize and the mystery prize.
I need to read both of those! THUG is high on my list. ^_^
DeleteSome of my faves this year were Spellbook of The Lost & Found and Nyxia!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so interested in adult romance but the other two price packs sound awesome
Oooo, I want to read Spellbook! I liked the author's previous book.
DeleteGood luck!
I loved Made You Up which is YA, of course, and I'd love the 12 YA books! Merry Christmas 💕
ReplyDeleteI'm not totally familiar with that one - I will look it up!
DeleteINTO THE DROWNING DEEP By Mira Grant is at the top of my list followed by THE ALMOST SISTERS By Joshilyn Jackson and 13 MINUTES By Sarah Pinborough. The 12 YA books sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Into the Drowning Deep! I like its cover. :D Good luck, Lisa!
DeleteI'd be most interested in winning the YA pack prize. My YA favorites this year include When Dimple Met Rishi, Warcross, The Victoria in My Head, Caraval, Daughter of A Pirate King, and Long Way Down.
ReplyDeleteI loved WDMR as well! Ooo, I forgot about Caraval. I think I read it in 2016 but it was definitely one of the best of 2017!
DeleteI had to do more than one top 10 list as well, couldn't decide on just 10. Great picks!

It's a good one, Brooke!
DeleteI haven't read a single book on your list :( Guess I have some reading to do lol I feel like I just need to buy Devils & Thieves already! How much you enjoyed it has made me super curious. I also want to read Letters to the Lost since everyone seems to have enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAwww! More to read is never a bad thing. ;) I loved D&T! The chemistry in that book was off the charts. :D
DeleteThe Valiant was definitely a highlight of the year!

DeleteIsn't The Falconer trilogy amazing?! And I have only read the first book! LOL
ReplyDeleteAlso, Fury on Fire?! OMG! I love that the main characters didn't actually "meet" until about halfway through the book!
I hope you love the rest of the series! And for real, I loved that twist! Somehow it made things so much hotter. ;)
DeleteGreat picks Alyssa! Valiant was definitely a fave of mine too <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jaime!

DeleteI really enjoyed Love Letters of Abelard and Lily. It was a unique read about disorders and love. I also really loved Paradise Girl. It kept me reading at a frantic pace to see what would happen. I would love the mystery box.
