Hey Guys! I thought it'd be neat if we all had a place to reflect upon the books we have read this year and note our favorites. We usually do this monthly...but which books really stood out for you for the whole year?

I looked back on all of my 5 stars for the year and these are the ones that I still vividly remember and stuck with me. My favorites for the year are:
The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland, #2) by Kristen Ashley (second in a series, but you don't need to read book 1) - read in May
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett - Read in May
What He Doesn't Know (What He Doesn't Know, #1) by Kandi Steiner What He Always Knew (What He Doesn't Know, #2) by Kandi Steiner (this is a duology and you need to read both books, but the second one was what made it make the list) - Read both in May
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren - Read in August
The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker - Read in September
All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover - read in August

Have you guys read any of my favorites? What made your list?
