My Favorite Reads of 2013

My Favorite YA Reads of 2013  
(a few of them anyway)  
My awkward is showing with this, but enjoy...

To tune of "My Favorite Things" 

Raindrops in bottles from boys who play baseball
Tattoos on biceps and cars that go vroom
Best case sce-nar-ios keep me from doom 
These are a few of my favorite reads

Guys with pet turtles who bake all the cookies
Blood Lords, Collectors, and Seers on Harleys  
Boys who're named Finn who think there's always hope
These are a few of my favorite reads

Girls in bright dresses who try to win Maxon,
Boys that get migraines from crazy time trave-lin'
Sponge divers, Warner and hot chocolate sips
Guys dressed like Batman even The Darkling's tricks 

When the Branch strikes when the Sylph burn
When Tris makes me sad
I simply remember my favorite reads 
and then I don't feel so bad

Girls who race horses and boys that like green beans 
Luxen and Ancients and Roses and Stoneys
Girls who fly spaceships or swim in the sea
 These are a few of my favorite reads

Son of a Preacher in love with a vampire 
Tough guys named Jamie you just want to snuggle 
Dugouts and cabins and s'mores by campfire
 These are a few of my favorite reads

Guys with high foreheads who wait in the hallway
 Boys who can play with the earth, wind and fire 
Children of angels who eat burned brow-nies   
These are a few of my favorite reads

When the Branch strikes when the Sylph burn
When Tris makes me sad
I simply remember my favorite reads 
and then I don't feel so bad.

For the record, this is just a small sample of the books I read and thoroughly enjoyed this year. Even the ones in the chorus are my favorites, except maybe the one that made me sad. 

Can you guess what the books are? If so, leave them in the comments. Whoever gets the most correct between now and Christmas will win one of the titles mentioned (winner's choice). Contest is now over

Meet Abbie Wu! She’s about to start middle school and she’s totally in crisis.
