Best YA: Fangirl – so heartwarming and relatable.
Best Romance: Juliette and Warner from ignite me – love the support in the relationship.
Here’s mine! http://hawkeye19.tumblr.com/post/117399090633/hour-18
Best YA Book of Your Reading Year: Mosquitoland by David Arnold is probably going to stand as one of my all time favorites! Amazing characters, plot, and writing. *swoons* This could also be my best book of the year, best cover, best main character…I could go on.
Best Fantasy Book of Your Reading Year: I’ll have to go with the Saga series by Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples. I’m a sucker for comics and graphic novels and I looove the art!
Best Children’s Book of Your Reading Year: Probably a little old for children’s books now…But I read And Tango Makes Three by Richardson, Parnell, Cole. Ahh Such a cute book! I need to read this one to my little cousins!

I loved this challenge! Mine is here on my blog: https://bookstacksamber.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/deweys-24-hour-readathon-updates/
Best Main Character: Lola from Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins because Lola is girl a who loves dressing up and being loud, complete opposite of me. But still I get her!
Best YA Novel: Zombicorns by John Green (it’s a novella but still). Obviously anything by John Green is genius. But this price of writing is so unlike any of his other works and still its just as fascinating and gripping as anything else he has written.
Best Author of the year: Rainbow Rowell. I’m read all of her books this last year and there’s nothing bad I can say about any single one of them. She has firmly fixed her place in my list of favourite authors.

Best Children’s Book: Awake and Dreaming by Kit Pearson. I enjoyed this book so much even though I didn’t expect to. It’s a mix of realistic + fantasy and it had me engaged the whole time.
Best Book: I haven’t read very much this year, but from what I have, it has to be Atonement by Ian McEwan. This book was devastatingly lovely and the story has stayed with me.
Best Main Character: Jo from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I loved the way she was – a tomboy, confident, and strong.

Best Sci-Fi of my reading year is an aberration because I almost never read Sci-Fi – but I’m so glad I did – Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel was breathtaking. Giving it to my sister for her birthday and she’s not a Sci-Fi reader either – stunning writing, universal themes…
Best Main Character of my reading year – Etta in Etta & Russell & Otto & James by Emma Hooper. A beautiful, inspirational “road novel” with a little magical realism thrown in
Best Character You Love to Hate – Gotta be that hot mess Rachel from The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins…
