Unfortunately, I was busier than anticipated this fall and didn’t have the time to do as much reading as I’d hoped, but I plan on catching up over winter break!
These are the books I finished this autumn, from my most to least favorite:
- P.S. I Like You by Kasie West
- A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
- Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
- Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven
- When We Collided by Emery Lord
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
These are the books I hope to finish this winter (in no particular order):
- Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
- Heartless by Marissa Meyer
- The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
- The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
- What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
- Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
- Replica by Lauren Oliver
- A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
- What Light by Jay Asher
Have you read any of these books, or are you planning on reading some of them? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Happy holidays! x

Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them 
The only one of these books I’ve read is Holding up the Universe, which was AMAZING. I am planning on reading some of the other books on your list such as Heartless, Replica, P.S. I Like You, and The Sun is Also a Star. I have really enjoyed books in the past from those books’ authors, thus I have high expectations for them!☺️

Holding Up the Universe was lovely, but I couldn’t help but compare it to All the Bright Places, which was my favorite read of this year. I hope you enjoy P.S. I Like You as much as I did – I’ve fallen in love with Kasie West’s writing! Happy reading! x

I’ve only read The Raven Boys so far and didn’t like it as much as I hoped, but I’ve heard the series gets better as it progresses so I’m quite excited. 🙂 I’m halfway through Crooked Kingdom, and I’m really nervous to see where the duology ends! Thanks for commenting❤

Ohh, The Dream Thieves and ADSOM! I loved both so much. And I agree with everything you’ve heard, for now the series just gets better and better. I only read the first two books so far, and I loved The Dream Thieves so much, I hope you’ll feel the same way! 🙂
Happy Holidays Niraja, and happy reading! 😀

I can’t wait to start it! Hopefully we’ll both enjoy the rest of the series, too, if/when we choose to continue it. 🙂 Thank you so much Marie, and happy holidays to you too!❤

Thanks so much! I’m halfway through Crooked Kingdom and nowhere near ready for the duology to end. What better time to start the TOG series than now, when the wait for ACOWAR seems endless? 🙂 Have you read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Maas?

Yes I’ve read that series and I actually like it more than the ToG series. The main character gets really annoying in the ToG series though the plot is gold. I enjoyed the ACOTAR books far more though 🙂

I’ve read all of the books you finished this autumn, with the exception of When We Collided, and I really enjoyed them all as well. I’m thrilled to see P.S. I Like You at the top of your favourites list, and kinda sad to see The Raven Boys at the bottom.
You’ve got some great books for winter on your list though, some of these are my all-time favourites (A Darker Shade of Magic and Crooked Kingdom) so I really really hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Happy reading, and happy holidays as well! 😀

Personally, I don’t think When We Collided is really worth your time when there are way better contemporaries out there. The Raven Boys was a 3.5 star read, so definitely not bad; I have a feeling I’ll enjoy The Dream Thieves more, which I’m starting today! 🙂
Thanks so much Beth, and you too!

Oh that’s a shame, but at the same time I know there are some amazing contemporaries out there. Just a matter of finding them I guess.
Also in that case I really do hope you enjoy The Dream Thieves more! 😀

I can’t wait for you to read A Darker Shade of Magic! I love that book to bits and pieces and would probably recommend it to anyone and everyone. The Sun is Also a Star and Replica are also good picks. I hope you have a good winter, Niraja! 💗

I can’t wait to see your thoughts on Crooked Kingdom, Throne of Glass, and A Darker Shade of Magic. I’ve only read Crooked Kingdom out of the three but it was so good and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Also, I read P.S. I Like You back September (I think) and completely loved it too. That book is probably my top contemporary this year and I so need to read the rest of the author’s books. 😊
