I have read so many great books this year - it is so hard to choose! I have definitely been on a contemporary kick this year (which is showing no sign of abating!). So, after much deliberation, here are my Top Ten Reads of 2012:
10: If I Die by Rachel Vincent
I LOVE Rachel Vincent and I adore this series! I'm going to be gutted when this series finishes but I can't wait to read the final book.
9: Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
I loved Delirium and I loved this one even more! I love her writing and the world she has created.
8: Insurgent by Veronica Roth
One of my favourite dystopian series! Soooo good! Can't wait for the final book in the series.
7: This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers
Many of you will probably know by now that I have loved everything Courtney Summers has written but this one is just pure awesome sauce! I love zombies and Summers managed to make a horror story feel like a contemporary read. Plus is seriously creeped me out!
6: Raw Blue by Kirsty Eagar
Completely exceeded my expectations - the main character's voice is spot on.
5: Saving Daisy by Phil Earle
I was so looking forward to reading Daisy's story and it lived up to all my expectations. Brilliant!
4: Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
This almost destroyed me. Such a great story and I loved the relationship between the main character and her dad.
3: What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton
My surprise read of the year. I just loved everything about it but especially the friendship/romance that develops between the two main characters.
2: Wonder by R J Palacio
So different from anything else I've read this year - just loved it. And although it made me cry it's also such an uplifting story.
1: Pushing The Limits by Katie McGarry
I read this at the beginning of the year and I had the feeling it would be my favourite read of the year. Nothing else quite topped it - everything about it was spot on for me. Love Noah and Echo and I am now practically salivating for Beth's story Dare You To.
10: If I Die by Rachel Vincent

I am so behind on last year's books! Out of these, all I've read is Raw Blue, Pushing the Limits and Wonder. I liked them all though, so that's good eh?
I'm looking forward to finally reading Insurgent and Saving Daisy. Nice list!
