Top Ten Tuesday (1)

       20 comments


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish.  Each week a new Top Ten list topic is posted and book bloggers fill in their own choices.  

I know normally I don't do this meme, its just that most of the time I can't find 10 books to fit the question! And I'm not a big list-maker :P. However, this time, I have a lot more than 10. 

This Week:

Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List
(March 21st-June 20th)

These are in no particular order!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Do I even need to give y'all a reason?! Divergent was fantastic! I devoured it in one sitting! How can I not want the sequel after such a great debut! I'm so excited to see where this story line is going and I can't wait to see some more of Tris and Four ( ;D )

Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
I really liked Graceling and absolutely loved Fire so I can't wait for this next installment. I've heard some fantastic and not-so-fantastic things about it, but this is pretty much a guaranteed buy for me. I really look forward to delving back into the world Kristin Cashore has created. 

The Selection by Kiera Cass
I know how much flak this book got because of the author's response to a bad review, but I'm still gonna give it a chance. While she never should have acted like that, I'm not going to hold that against the possibility of reading a good book. And besides, look at that dress?!?! My.....preeeeecccious.  

The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze
Tagline: Happily ever after is a thing of the past.
After that tagline, how could you not want to read it? This sounds amazing! Princess in disguise? Ruthless revolutionary? Yes please! And it was also featured in one of my Waiting on Wednesday memes.

Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
First off, that cover?! LOVE! Also, another awesome tagline: Desire is contagious. I'm really diggin the dark, gothic feel to this book. I'm definitely gonna check this one out once it comes out! 

Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan. 'nuff said.

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund
Just read the synopsis and I guarantee y'all will want this just as badly as I do!! ♥

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
The Grisha sounds fascinating! And the mysterious Darkling? I have to know who that is! And mysterious powers? Sign me up!!

Gilt by Katherine Longshore 
I'm a huge fan of historical fiction so this is an automatic must read! And I've always been fascinated by the Tudor line so I know I'll enjoy this. Not to mention a monarchy always entails court intrigue and scandals! Woot!

The Wicked and the Just by J. Anderson Coats 
Another historical fiction that sounds amazing! I actually have it via Netgalley so I hope to get round to is ASAP! 

Believe me, these are not the only books I'm looking forward to this spring. There are many, many, more (Ex. Grave Mercy! I just didn't add it because I've already read it! Review coming soon). I just tried to shake it up a bit and put different genre's on the list. Fantasy, dystopian, historical fiction? Gotta love em! 

So what books are y'all waiting on this spring?

All the best ♥

      I know!! Have you never read Divergent o_O?! You must! I'm actually going to re-read it before I rush out to go get Insurgent :D I actually was able to read the first 5 chapters, and although America did kinda annoy me, I feel as if the Bachelor like premise will be my guilty pleasure :P Thanks!! You too!

      Yay! I know, I'm so excited for all of these! But most of them I picked don't come out till May and June :/ Is there any way I can speed it up? And yes, Insurgent is definitely at the top of my list. I'm so excited!

    Insurgent is one of those books I want to get to soon as well. A few others on your list look tempting too.

    Can't decide which book on your list seems more interesting/is more awesome. :)

    I'm way excited about Bitterblue, as well as The Serpent's Shadow. Riordan wrote some pretty good adult fiction novels too, back in the 90s. You should check it out, if you like his writing.

    Fabulous list!
