I didn’t have a great year in books. Most of my reads turned out to be duds or just so-so. But here are a few that really made an impression. These are books I read this year, but weren’t necessarily released this year.

1. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This was a re-read prior to watching the movie.
2. Secrets and Lies (Cassie Scot #2) by Christine Amsden.
3. Breakable (Contours of the Heart, #2) by Tammara Webber.
4. Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) and Demonglass (Hex Hall, #2) by Rachel Hawkins.
5. Uninvited by Sophie Jordan.
