Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish. The flowers are out, there is more sunny weather ahead, and I have all these books to look forward to!
1. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
OF COURSE this is at the top of my list! It has to be my most anticipated release of the year.

2. A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston
Though I've seen some mixed reviews of this one, I have an ARC and am looking forward to starting it soon.

3. Blood and Salt by Kim Ligget
A weird, creepy horror/romance? I'm definitely intrigued by this one.

4. Asking for It by Louise O'Neill
I've been wanting to read one of this author's books for a long time, and along with Only Ever Yours, I hope to read this soon as well.
5.The White Rose by Amy Ewing
I actually ended up enjoying The Jewel and can't wait to see what happens in this sequel!
6. Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray
A Thousand Pieces of You was A-MAZING, so bring on the sequel I say! I'll be rewarding myself with this one after my final exams are over.
7. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin
Confession: No I haven't read the original A Song of Ice and Fire series *yet* BUT since this is set beforehand it might be a good place to start?
8. The Next Together by Lauren James
This one sounds like a romantic, captivating read - I'm looking forward to starting my ARC soon since I've heard good things already!
9. The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory
I've been in another historical mood reading-wise, so this looks quite interesting.
10. Restless by William Boyd
I recently watched the TV adaptation of this book on Netflix which was quite good, but am curious as to how different it is from the book.

What books are you looking forward to this spring/fall?
ILLUMINAE was such an interesting read - especially the format and structure of the book is one I will remember for a while. I read it as an eARC and I am dying to get my hands on a finished copy because I have a feeling the ecopy did not do justice to the design of the book.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy these all :)
I've heard so many great things about it! I love how it sounds like the form and layout is really unique. Thanks for stopping by Milka :)
DeleteYes to Illuminae - of course, isn't everyone dying to read this book? Yes to A Thousand Nights. I hadn't heard of Blood and Salt but it looks interesting. Yes to asking for it. I loved The Jewel and can't wait to read The White Rose. I really need to read my copy of A Thousand Pieces of You. I hate when sequels sneak up at you and you haven't gotten around to the first one.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, thanks for sharing.
It seems to be the book everyone's talking about - that's for sure! I hope you enjoy A Thousand Pieces of You as much as I did Rochelle! I totally know what you mean when it comes to sequels sneaking up - there are some books where I've been meaning to read the first book, and then suddenly the next one is out and it's like 'when did this happen!?'. So many great reads to be excited for though :)
DeleteAHHHH these all look so amazing :) YES to Illuminae and The White Rose (OMG, didn't realise that was even coming out!) and Ten Thousand Skies Above You. I'll have lots to reward myself with once HSC is over :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until I remember I saw it in a Walker Books catalogue. I know - I can't wait to get my hands on all of these after all the exams are o-ver!
DeleteOMG. You are going to absolutely LOVE Illuminae Eugenia! It is absolutely fantastic. And I'm really curious to see what you think about Ten Thousand Skies Above You. I was a bit meh about A Thousand Pieces of You so I'm curious to see how the sequel compares. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices! ♥
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I will too Zoe! I've been hearing the sequel is even better, so fingers crossed :)
DeleteAsking for It looks so good. I absolutely loved Only Ever Yours and can't wait to read her next one. Here is my top ten list: http://www.bookbinges.blogspot.it/2015/09/top-ten-tuesday-fall-tbr.html
ReplyDeleteThat's good news Cynthia - I'm really excited to read both of her novels!
DeleteOMG I love your choices! I am really looking forward to A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms as well! I love the ASOIAF series, so I adore these novellas he's been publishing.
ReplyDeleteThe Next Together has a fascinating premise, I love the time or dimension travel trend that's been happening. I have heard so many good things about Blood + Salt and I am suitably pumped, I will buy it today if it is available for Kindle.
Aentee at Read at Midnight.
ONE DAY I will read the ASOIAF novels, perhaps post-HSC would be a good time to start! Blood and Salt is especially intriguing - I'm looking forward to buying it on release as well. Thanks for stopping by Aentee :)
DeleteLove this list! And oh my Ten Thousand Skies Above You is so on my TBR! I have been waiting for ages for that to come out and now that it is soon going to be in my hands just makes me so eager :D I want it!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to start it after I've finished my current read, it looks fabulous!
DeleteI'm so curious about quite a few of these... especially Blood and Salt!! It sounds so CREEPY and perfect for this time of year. I hope you get your hands on these asap and really enjoy them! :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks like a creepy read - and I'm looking forward to all of these for sure :)
DeleteI can't wait to read Blood and Salt! The library is holding my request and I'll be picking it up tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you'll be able to read it soon Jenna, hope you enjoy it :)
