My Top 10 Reads of 2011

These may not have necessarily been published in 2011, but that's when I read then and fell in love with them. Some of them I fell hard, head over heels in love with them! 
Some induced squeals and giddyness and laughing. Some made me cry like a baby. Some made me have to fan myself or smile from the sweetness. These are the ones I would recommend above all the books I read.
Without further ado....

Reckless Magic series by 
Rachel Higginson

  16. Thank you for this list! As an educator, it is so nice to step away from reality and get swept up in the romance and action. The Star-Crossed Series was definitely my favorite!!!! Oh Karin!
    Callum and Harper was amazing! My heart broke for Harper when John tormented her.
    Sophie and Carter...*sigh*
    Existence...so hot!
    I read these book while waiting for your next books. Super excited for Defiance (thanks for the teaser!), dying to find out about Merrick's survival, and can't wait to see what's next for Clara and Eli!
    Thank you, thank you for your books and your reading list!!! The list has been keeping me busy until you crank out more of your books!
