Top Ten Books on my Winter TBR
These seasonal TBRs are honestly some of my favorite Top Ten Tuesdays. You know why? No matter how hard I try, and no matter how awesome the Broke and Bookish girls are at keeping the topics coming after sooooo many Top Ten Tuesdays, I feel like I repeat myself. And that bugs me just on a personal level. I like to keep it fresh! Enter these awesome lists that HAVE to change, and Amy is a super happy girl. I’m SO EXCITED FOR THESE BOOKS! Obvs I have more than ten. I didn’t even try to rein myself in.
Save Me | Jenny Elliott • January 6, 2015 (Swoon Reads)
Oooh, guys. So much going on in this debut. Witchcraft, forbidden love, whales. Also, I kind of can’t stop looking at the cover, with the girl floating in midair. It’s mysterious and magical and beautiful.
All the Bright Places | Jennifer Niven • January 6, 2015 (Knopf)
I have to say, I’m not really a fan of all these “THE FAULT IN OUR STARS meets whatever” descriptions just because a book has death in it. But a debut (another one! Yay!) about two sad, broken kids learning how to not be so sad anymore together is something I will ALWAYS enjoy.
The Darkest Part of the Forest | Holly Black • January 13, 2015 (Little Brown BFYR)
Holly Black is a new-to-me author, friends. I only really started reading her books this year, and I really enjoyed them. This story about siblings and faeries and a horned boy in the woods in a glass casket sounds FAB.
Fairest: The Lunar Chronicles #3.5 | Marissa Meyer • January 27, 2015 (Feiwel & Friends)
DUH.
In Some Other World, Maybe | Shari Goldhagen • January 13, 2015 (St. Martin’s Press)
Really looking forward to this one. Sure, it’s kind of adult-ish because it follows a group of young people into adulthood, but hey. Sometimes you have to see what the fictional people you own age are up to.
I Was Here | Gayle Forman • January 27, 2015 (Viking Juvenile)
DUH 2.0
I’ll Meet You There | Heather Demetrios • February 3, 2015 (Henry Holt & Co.)
No but stop. Wounded veteran? Literally, you don’t have to say anything else. Nothing. I’m in.
Better When He’s Bold: Welcome to the Point #2 | Jay Crownover • February 3, 2015 (William Morrow)
Guys, Jay Crownover is so legit. Her Marked Men series is one of my favorites, and I enjoyed the first book in her Welcome to the Point series, too. BRING IT, GIRL.
Red Queen: Red Queen Trilogy #1 | Victoria Aveyard • February 10, 2015 (Harper Teen)
First of all, THIS COVER. So provocative. But I like the sound of the story too, obviously, with it’s blood divisions and secrets.
Seeker: Seeker #1 | Arwen Elys Dayton • February 10, 2015 (Delacorte BFYR)
So, a Game of Thrones meets Hunger Games comparison. Ok, I can dig it. Although seekers remind me of nothing ever aside from Harry Potter. Also, I’m very interested in this whole “her best friend and the boy she loves isn’t who she thinks” business.
A Wicked Thing | Rhiannon Thomas • February 24, 2015 (Harper Teen)
WHOA WHOA WHOA. A Sleeping Beauty retelling about what happens AFTER the marriage? STAHPPPPP.
The Winner’s Crime: The Winner’s Trilogy #2 | Marie Rutkoski • March 3, 2015 (Farrar Straus Giroux)
DUH 3.0
The Storyspinner: The Keeper’s Chronicles #1 | Becky Wallace • March 3, 2015 (Margaret K. McElderry)
Ooh, so this story kind of has shades of Kvothe for me somehow: a fantasy about a performer with no troupe…actually that’s kind of where it stops. But there’s murder and a missing princess and magical beings and scheming dukes. *nods head*
The Orphan Queen: The Orphan Queen #1 | Jodi Meadows • March 10, 2015 (Katherine Tegen Books)
I’ve never read anything by Jodi Meadows. I KNOW. This sounds like a more Amy place to start than her previous series, so I’m really looking forward to it. There’s lots of fantasies on this list! YAY!
What books are you guys looking forward to this winter?
So excited for Fairest! The Darkest Part of the Forest and The Winner’s Crime are two of my favorite reads of the year. Hope you love them!!
I’m actually kind of nervous to read Fairest. I’ve loved The Lunar Chronicles, and I do find Levana interesting, but I don’t know if I want to read her book. But I probably will. I’m just not super excited about it.
So many books I need to get my hands on listed here! I included The Darkest Part of the Forest and Fairest on my TTT. I’m also hoping to read Red Queen, The Storyspinner, Seeker, and A Wicked Thing! Great list!
You’ve got quite a few good books listed here. Good luck with your winter reading!
I totally couldn’t stick to ten books either for today’s post, there were honestly so many great books to look forward too and now after reading yours I can see that I’ve already missed a few gems such as The Winner’s Crime and I Was Here! I hope you’re able to read a lot of these over Winter!
So excited for Fairest, I Was Here, A Wicked Thing, The Storyspinner and I’ll Meet You There! Those are all books that I’ve got on my own TBR too. I’ve been fortunate enough to read The Winner’s Crime and The Orphan Queen already, and really, really, really enjoyed them both!
