From Becca's Shelves... Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  The Broke & The Bookish .   
 This week's topic is TOP TEN BEST BOOKS I READ IN 2015! which I kind of went overboard with. As one does when chosen for the task of naming the best books of the year. That was the worst task ever! But also fun, remembering the books that took my breath away! Shutter by Courtney Alameda   - Ghost Hunters meets Vampire Academy with Wicked Smart Sass!!! Definite new fave & DYING for another book in this series!! PLEASE COURTNEY!!! Hello? by Liza Wiemer   - I think everyone knows how much I love this book by now, but for real, this book is a life changer. Love it and the author oh, so much! A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab   - The first high fantasy book I've truly loved. Is it Feb yet? Need the sequel like yesterday. The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows  -  MY FEELS STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED FROM THIS ONE, JODI. Yet my head is telling m...

The Holidays are right upon us, and if you're anything like me, you're totes procrastinating on even thinking about what to get anybody. People are hard to shop for, okay? Which is why I'm here to maybe make your gift-giving a little easier during this wonderful season! Actually I'm probably not the best person to do this hence my procrastination. But I only procrastinate on the buying part. I like to window-shop 25/8, or interwebz-shop, because crowds? No, thank you.  But, be warned: This is a Gift Guide for the Lover of ALL THINGS BOOKISH . I mean, come on, this is a book blog. :P What better thing to get the reader in your life, than BOOKS ?! Totally blew your mind, didn't I? I'm a genius when it comes to giving books as gifts ( because I'm a book pusher ). What better way to book push than to give those exact books to EVERYONE. Forget whether or not they're a reader, these books will MAKE them a reader. Let's just kill two birds w...

Becca Speaks... Oh, hey, look. It's my very first Top Ten Tuesday post!  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke & The Bookish .  This week's topic is Top Ten Books I've Read So Far in 2015 , and you wouldn't believe how terribly difficult  it was to narrow my choices down to TEN ( cough, I mean, eleven, because I'm a rule-breaker ). The following books are listed in no particular order, because I already had a hard enough time just picking them. There's no possible way for me to number them from most fave to least! A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas  - I mean, this is SJM we're talking about so OF COURSE I LOVED ACOTAR! *le sigh* The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan   - I just finished reading The Royal We, which is basically fan fiction of William & Kate. It's not a typical "Becca Book", (which is funny considering the main character's name is Rebecca/Becca/Bex) but oh dear, I am so g...
