Random Thoughts #5: 2012 Year in Review

Well it's been a great year! A lot has changed and I'm so thankful to everyone who has followed, or even glanced at my blog once. I never thought I'd get so many books to review or even a single follower. So, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me and looked at my blog I really appreciate it. Without you  guys there is no me!
I've come across some great books this year, WAY too many to put in a single list, but I will do my Top 12 books of 2012! This was an extremely hard list to put together and it actually took a lot of deliberation and took me a few days to finally decide on which were my favorites. Some of these books were not released in 2012, but I still read them this year. So, here is my final list:

1. Over You by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus

Check out my review here!

2. Easy by Tammara Webber


3. Forbidden by Syrie James and Ryan James

4. (I'm sort of cheating on this one, it's actually a series of three books) Life As We Knew It, The Dead and the Gone, and This World We Live In by Susan Beth Pfeffer
