Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by
The Broke and the Bookish, because top ten lists are fun. Stop by the blog to check it out, to participate, and to see what everyone has put on their top ten this week.
There is an infinite amount of books that I want to read. My to-read piles are growing faster than I can keep up with them! But here are the ten that I may want to read the most this year and that I resolve to read no matter freaking what (in no particular order):
- The Wise Man's Fear
by Patrick Rothfuss - Because The Name of the Wind
is one of the best fantasies I've read. Ever. I lied earlier. I want to read this one the most.
- Wither
by Lauren DeStefano - How can you resist this cover? And the plot sounds amazing, too.
- Divergent
by Veronica Roth - I'm savagely curious about this one. It could potentially be a fave.
- City of Fallen Angels
by Cassandra Clare - Can't wait to see what is next for Clary and Jace
- Crossed
by Ally Condie - Really interested in where the Matched
storyline is headed in this sequel
- The Emperor of Nihon-Ja
by John Flanagan - Love this little fantasy series about Rangers
- Steel
by Carrie Vaughn - Pirates, 'nuff said. No, wait. Arrrr! Now enough was said.
- Luminous
by Dawn Metcalf - This chick can take her skin off. How freaking awesome and creepy is that?
- Bumped
by Megan McCafferty - Okay, so I have a thing for dystopias, regardless of how abundant they're becoming. This one particularly piques my interest because the theme reminds me a bit of The Handmaid's Tale
.
- The Belgariad
series by David Eddings - Because my brother has been harassing me to read it for a while, it's his favorite, and I really should've read it by now.
What books do you
really want to read or feel like you
should read this year?
There's some books you put up that I want to really read this year too. :)
ReplyDeleteAll new titles to me. Interesting that I've not even heard of one!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list of ten books to read this year.
Oh, yes! The Belgariad series is humorous, action packed series. It's a favourite with my sister, mom and me. Have fun reading it!

ReplyDeleteWither looks tempting to me as well. My daughter received Matched for Christmas so I hope to get my hands on that one soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Belgariad! I've read that at least a dozen times, hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read Wither and Bumped this year...and I haven't read Matched yet so I'm so keen to finally get that one too!
You've got some awesome books on your list that I want to read as well! (Namely Wither, Luminous, Divergent, Crossed, and Steel :D)
ReplyDeleteWither and Divergent both made my list as well! And I'm looking forward to Crossed. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously thinking about joining this challenge and going with those pesky classics everyone is always talking about.....Lord of the Flies, Farwell to Arms, A Prayer for Owen Meany.....
ReplyDeleteyay, more love for The Wise Man's Fear! I really need to squeeze in a re-read of The Name of the Wind before March. I hope I can manage!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for Divergent too, all the early buzz makes it sound absolutely brilliant.
I really want to read Crossed! I didn't consider putting it on my list because I didn't think about it coming out this year, yay!
