2. Frostblood by Elly Blake: So good, I haven't heard that many people talking about this book and they should because it is such an amazing book.

27827203

3. The Giver by Lois Lowry: Everybody knows this book and it's such a short read but sooo good.

3636

4. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini: I don't know why it took me so long to read this, I cried and cried and rooted for these characters so much.

77203

5. Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson: Another book with another life lesson and that everybody needs to read, and it's written in verse, it doesn't get better than that :)

Have you read any of these books yet?  If you haven't then I totally, totally recommend them, especially my top 5 because those are so, so amazing.

What were your top 5 reads this winter?
