Book Shimmy Results Show

The Book Shimmy Awards results have been announced!. Here is the link.

And HERE are my opinions:

Well, I wanted Clockwork Princess to win best of shelf, but I love Allegiant too. I also wanted Cassandra to win best author but of course it was Veronica. No one competes with Veronica. Allegiant won for most badass hero too. I was rooting for Champion. As for best friendship, I really wanted Ronan and Gansey to win. Of course it had to be America and Marlee. Will and Tessa won for couple of the year. I knew they would. I'm glad Scarlet won for best fantasy (though I would have been happy if The Dream Thieves had won). Divergent won world series champion which is awesome. I don't think anyone is surprised that Allegiant won most crippling ending. I'm very glad the Potterheads won best fandom. Other than Lord of the Rings, it's my favourite. And, finally, I was not surprised to see Catching Fire win best adaption. I agree. It was the second best movie I saw this year (after the Hobbit).

Best YA Books of 2013

I found a  "Best YA Books of 2013" List. Click here to see it.

I've only read four of the books on that list. Allegiant, Clockwork Princess, Scarlet and The Elite. However, I am planning on reading Eleanor and Park, The 5th Wave and Fangirl pretty soon. I like seeing other people's opinions of the best books published in a certain year. Then I can see how many I've read, and if I've read and liked a lot of them, it indicates that I might like some of the others on the list.
