Nick's Random Gibberish (23) : 2015 Half Year Favorites + Exciting Blog Milestones + Giveaway

Nick's Random Gibberish is a weekly post here at Nick's Book Blog where I, Nick, will talk about random topics from personal posts to discussion posts.

Hi everyone!

Can you believe it's already the end of June? I feel like time has flown by so fast this year. I was thinking about what to write in this week's Random Gibberish and well, I was out of ideas. So I figured since half the year is already gone I might as well just share some of my favorite books of 2015 so far. 

2015 has been the best year in terms of books. Honestly, there have been so many fantastic novels released and I couldn't be happier. I'm hoping this trend continues throughout the year. I've read a total of 150 books this year and I've marked 25+ as "2015 Favorites" on GR. I think that's pretty awesome because I'd rather be reading fabulous books than meh books.

Anyways, I couldn't feature all of the titles in my post today (because I'm lazy like that), but you can check out all my favorites on Goodreads here. I thought I'd arrange my picks into categories so that it would be easier to pick and choose the books I wanted to feature. So, here they are:


In other news, I was randomly checking my stats the other day to update my EW and NG profiles and I found out that I had hit some very exciting milestones - 1700 Bloglovin followers & 1000 FB Likes! I seriously can't get over the fact that so many of you actually like to read my blog. When I started four years ago, I didn't think I would ever grow beyond a certain stage, because my writing sucks, but I'm so appreciative of all of you followers! It still makes me giddy with excitement when I get a new comment on a post. Seriously, thank you guys for being such wonderful followers! :) To celebrate, I have a giveaway for you.

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren . Touch (Denazen #1) by Jus Accorda Summary (from Goodreads) When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking dow
