Best Books Read in 2012

Ok, I've read a lot of books in 2012, and a few rereads. I'm only going to count books that I reviewed here, though, because I have links to those reviews, so I can remember what I was thinking of the books at the time. Yep.

I read books from January to December, and of those, were the ones that I absolutely loved, be it writing, thinking about it after, or the emotions it evoked, like "I hate that villain, they're so bad! HATEHATEHATE!!!! Yep.

So here's those books in alphabetical order so there's no strangeness among them!

So, first up is Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter! So cute, and fun, and great fighting, and I just can't wait for Through the Zombieglass! Zombies + Alice in Wonderland retelling + Gena Showalter's writing = Utterly Fantastic Book!!

Next is the Sookie Stackhouse series, Club Dead, Dead to the World, Dead as a Doornail, Definitely Dead, All Together Dead, From Dead to Worse, Dead and Gone, Dead in the Family, Dead Reckoning, and Deadlocked, I really got addicted to it this year, and can't wait for Dead Ever After, I just read through the last 3 books in 1 day, even though I'd been fairly good at pacing myself at 1 book a week, those last 3 books, I just had to read them then!

Next is the Legacy series by Cayla Kluver, Legacy, Allegiance, and Legacy, which were in my #1 slot this year, they were just so fantastic books, and I just loved reading them!

Next up is the Belador Series, by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love, and I read Blood Trinity, Alterant, and The Curse! Such great books, really enjoyed Evalle, she was a fantastic character, and this is a really complex series, and can't wait for book 4!

Next is Animal Instincts by Gena Showalter, a fantastic, funny book about a woman who felt trampled by life, and  found true love, and it was just really sweet, and really funny! Loved it!

Another series, the Trylle series by Amanda Hocking, Switched, Torn, and Ascend, are such great books, a very different and original take on trolls, and great romance, and just a great series! Loved it!

Next is the Shadow Falls series by C. C. Hunter, Born at Midnight, Awake at Dawn, Taken at Dusk, and Whispers at Moonrise. A great series with lots of different creatures, and very funny, and from  the outside, and not experiencing the love stories, they are both funny and a bit sad. I wouldn't want to go through them, but reading about them? Delicious!

Then the Alien Huntress Series by Gena Showalter, the adult, Awaken Me Darkly, Enslave Me Sweetly, Savor Me Slowly, Seduce the Darkness, Deep Kiss of Winter, Ecstasy in Darkness, and Dark Taste of Rapture, and the YA Series, Redhanded, and Blacklisted. Such a fantastic series of aliens and just so freaking great!

Next is 2 books from the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent, Before I Wake, and Never to Sleep! I love this series, because there's not very many books about bean sidhes, and yeah, it's just a fantastic series!

Next is Unbound series by Rachel Vincent, Blood Bound and Shadow Bound, which was just so good, excellent world building, and characters, and just plain great! Loved them, can't wait for Oath Bound!

Next is Bloodline by James Rollins, a great addition to his Sigma series, and while my copy had a run of pages printed twice, it was just a fantastic read, and we learned a lot about this family who's the bad guy!

Next is 2 books from The League series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Born of Shadows, and Born of Silence! Such a fantastic series, with such tortured characters, like, really, in Silence, after he's healed from his wounds, he kills a bunch of people (who'd been horrible) and piles their bodies in the courtyard. Yeah, he was really tortured. So yeah, excellent series!

Next is the Body Movers Series by Stephanie Bond, Body Movers, 2 Bodies for the Price of 1, 3 Men and a Body, 4 Bodies and a Funeral, 5 Bodies to Die For, and 6 Killer Bodies. Great murder mysteries that are hilarious, and I can't wait for book 7!

Next, the series A Song of Fire and Ice by George R. R. Martin, A Storm of Swords, A Feast of Crows, and A Dance of Dragons, which is just a fantastic series, very, very, very, very complex, a lot of plotting, and scheming, and I will wait for The Winds of Winter, hopefully it'll be out before I'm 25!

 Next is the Mediator series by Meg Cabot, Shadowland, Ninth Key, Reunion, Darkest Hour, Haunted, and Twilight. A fantastic "I see ghosts" story, Jesse is fantastic, and their romance so sweet! I'd love a short story set a little after Twilight, because that would be so amazing!
