Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. For more information and a list of past and future topics, go here.

Favorite Beginnings:
1.     Losing It by: Cora Carmack – This is just about the funniest beginning of a book I have ever read. Two words: Made-up Cats.
2.     Wallbanger by: Alice Clayton – This book certainly starts off with a bang! Or about three…
3.     Obsidian by: Jennifer L. Armentrout – I love the first initial conversation between Kitten and Daemon.
4.     Hex Hall by: Rachel Hawkins – There are just so many things I love about the beginning of this book. Hot guy, clumsy girl, angry shapeshifter.
5.     City of Bones by: Cassandra Clare – Pandemonium Club is the beginning of one of my favorite series everrrrr.


Favorite Endings:
1.     Clockwork Princess by: Cassandra Clare – OHMYGOD this epilogue is just freakin’ epic and totally amazing. I cried some serious ugly tears during it.
2.     The Liberator by: Victoria Scott – This ending is a perfect set up for book 3, which I am SO EXCITED FOR.
3.     Unravel Me by: Tahereh Mafi – This may be a weird one but I just adore the ending. It gives me much hope for book 3!
4.     The Edge of Never by: J.A. Redmerski – After bawling for a couple minutes, I recollected myself to finish the book and I just loved it. I can’t wait for book 2.
5.     The Iron Knight by: Julie Kagawa – One of my favorite endings for my one of my favorite series ever. It doesn’t get much better than this.

    Dang it I forgot about Clockwork Princess' epilogue. I just remember I was crying ugly tears when I read it too!

    Great list!

    The ending of The Iron Knight was so sweet! I loved it. I was frustrated about where Unravel Me ended, but I am also very hopeful for the third one. The beginning of Losing It was funny; I need to read the whole thing still. Nice list!

    A little jealous that you've read the Liberator and I haven't! :D
    But agree with Daemon and Katy's first interaction! Oh my... such tension! :P Great list.

    Oh yeah, that first conversation between Katy and Daemonis hilarious! I'm giggling just thinking about it.

    I still haven't read Clockwork Princess. I'm terrified, and I've heard a lot about that epilgoue.

    The beginning of Losing It was absolutely hilarious. I can't believe I left Clockwork Princess of my list of best endings. It was epic. It made me totally ugly-cry on a PLANE of all places. The Edge of Never also ruined me... and then made me smile.

    Great choices!

    Oooh, yes, Hex Hall's beginning was sooo good. That book is such a light, quick and fun read! And out of everything in City of Bones, I remember the beginning the most!

    I've got The Iron Knight checked out from the library. I love the rest of the series, so I'm curious about the ending!

    I came so close to putting Losing It too because how hilarious Bliss is! And I thought about Obsidian too! AH! I'm getting close to the end of the Liberator and now I'm freaking out after seeing you put it. I haven't read Unravel Me yet, because I'm afraid to be honest (I love Adam...) and I still need to read The Edge of Never! (Which I also am afraid of because I know what is up with him...) SIGH. Great choices Annie!

    Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

    Really love Obsidian and Losing It's beginnings as well! :) I almost put Obsidian on my list. Good to know that Wallbanger and Edge of Never are so worth it, they're on my to-read list!

    The last book I read that caused ugly tears was I am David by Anne Holm.
