My Mostest Favorite Reads of 2012 / Question
This year I thought I would take care of two posts with one. I am sharing with you my mostest favorite reads of the past year and I want to know what yours were too! No, this is not a top 10 list. There is no way in hell that I could ever streamline my list like that. And yes, I cheat. I bundle books from the same series because they were both equally awesome. And I didn’t separate my ‘published in a different year’ books this year as there is only one that was not published this year.
So let’s just get to it. In order, from my most most most favorite read to my most favorite read, I give you my list of the books that really impressed me in 2012.
Super über impressive debuts
My favorite covers this year (from the books that I read)
And finally, men. Let’s chat men. All of the men who were on my list last year are still on there. Atticus, Lon… But I am going to add the following yummies this year:
Shane 
Billy Kyle
VladAtticus
Aric
Trust me, I have TONS of other men who could be on my list, but to name them all… It would be too overwhelming to see all those yummy men in one post. 😉
So that’s it from me. My mostest favorites of 2012. Now you. What are some of your favorite reads, covers and/or characters of 2012?
I'm Julie and this blog is all about Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews, Author Interviews, Guest Posts, Slices of Life and Silly Stuff Too! 
Saw this over at 
And you said you’d have a hard time doing 5 days worth of top 10 posts! You practically just did except you posted them all at once! :p A lot of these books didn’t make my list but that’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy them! I really do need to give Kevin Hearne’s series a try and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed Sierra Dean’s newest novel!
What a great list…there are so many of these books that are sitting in my TBR…it makes me just want to go sit down in front of it and read. 😉 smiles….
Great lists Julie!
My favorite reads this year: Angelfall by Susan Ee, Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake, Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson, A Soldier’s Duty by Jean Johnson and Steel’s Edge by Ilona Andrews.
As for the characters, I’m not even hesitating: Reyes Farrow from the Charley Davidson series, Penryn from Angelfall, and Cas&Anna from Girl of Nightmares.
My favorite cover of all time is Angelfall’s. I also really like the cover of A Low Down Dirty Shane, so badass.
Gunmetal Magic also impressed me. Kudos to Andrea for being able to hold her own against a heroine as strong as Kate Daniels.
Gunmetal Magic and Deep Dark Secret made it to my lists as well. I have a few others of yours on my TBR pile for 2013.
I still have not thought about my choices 🙂
But I love your list
Just got Red by Kate SeRine as per your recommendation 😉
I had plenty of great read in 2012, here is my list: http://www.stella-exlibris.com/2012/12/best-books-of-2012.html
If I had to choose 2 I would pick Ruthie Knox’s Ride with Me and Heather Snow’s Sweet Enemy 🙂
it’s so fun to see how really have the same tastes sometimes. You also have some books I have but haven’t read yet, seeing them here, I really need to start them.
I’m determined to get back to reading more UF this year, thanks for the recommendations Julie!
Happy New year!
Happy New Year!
Great list! I am going to get to an Ilona Andrews book this year. I really mean it this time. lol
I remember reading your review of On the Island and I just may end up getting that one too.
Great list!
I noticed that Kim Harrison’s books are not on any of your list
please tell me that is because you have not read them and not because you
Don’t like them ?
Paige – I have yet to pick up her series. I have the first book though and it’s definitely on my to-read list. I’ve heard such great things about Kim’s Hallows series!
