  1. Clariel (Garth Nix) - I LOVED the Abhorsen series when I was younger, and when I found out there was another book in the series with new covers emerging I was ecstatic!  I cannot wait to marathon all the books in the series and read this (highly likely) amazing book!
  2. In The Afterlight (Alexandra Bracken) - OMG...I cannot even deal with this book.  I want it now, or yesterday preferably!  Oh Liam... Again, Cannot wait to reread all of the books leading up to the final installment. (P.S....There's another novella to also read before this book comes out!)
  3. Never Judge A Lady By Her Cover (Sarah MacLean) - So I do enjoy my cheesy romance books every once in a while, and I am IN LOVE with this series and Sarah MacLean.  She can do not wrong in this genre.
  4. Talon (Julie Kagawa) - So, it's Julie Kagawa and dragons.  Need I say more?
  5. The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Michelle Hodkin) - I have yet to read any of the books in this series.  However, I do have them ready for reading on my Kindle to (you guessed it) marathon the series!  I just know I am going to love this book series.  So intriguing!
  6. Blue Lily, Lily Blue (Maggie Stiefvater) - Surprise, surprise.  Another book series that I have yet to read but heard amazing things about.  Let the marathons continue! 
  7. Catch Me When I Fall (Vicky Leigh) - A really random one, but a book I am looking forward to coming out nonetheless.  I first heard about this book at BEA when a fellow blogger was handing out information about her book being published.  I put the card description in my bag for later and re-read the premise in July.  Really interesting stuff, and I cannot wait to see this book written by another book nerd like us. ;)
  8. Stone Cold Touch (Jennifer L. Armentrout) - Sadly, I have never read any books by Ms. Armentrout.  I have Obsidian on my Kindle and so many other books in my TBR, but this sounds the most intriguing to me.  Who writes about gargoyles!?  It sounds amazing!
  9. Mortal Heart (Robin LaFevers) - First saw this book and it's cover while at BEA.  I personally think that the covers are gorgeous, and this is originally what drew my attention.  Yet another book series to marathon!
  10. Rooms (Lauren Oliver) - This book came out today!  I cannot wait to sink my teeth into this.  I love anything paranormal and think it is really interesting, so I hope this book lives up to the hype in my mind. 
Let me know the books you are looking forward to coming out this fall!  Also...I'm realizing that I have a LOT of books to read.  Typical...

  1. Isaac Marion - So you might or might not know that I read Warm Bodies a couple of months ago and loved it!  I really need to see what other books he has written and read them.  I love the voice he gives his characters and is able to make a zombie relatable and human.  The dry and sarcastic humor is great too!
  2. Scott Westerfeld - Recently just finishing Afterworlds which is not released until later this month, I seriously need to get my hands on his other works.  While maybe not my favourite author ever, his writing style seemed like a breath of fresh air.
  3. Megan Abbott - I have no idea what other books Abbott might or might not have written, but this book opened me up to a whole new genre I would like to try - psychological thrillers!
  4. Amy Tintera - I read Reboot at lightning fast speed.  It was such a great book with perfect pacing for a fast read.  However, I have not yet gotten my hands on the second book to the duology since SO many other wonderful books have been coming out.  When there is a bit of down time in my reading TBR, this will be the first book I pick up.
  5. Rachel Hawkins - Rebel Belle was a great book that tied contemporary, fantasy, and humor wonderfully together.  I laughed out loud throughout this book, and it definitely makes me want to read other books by Hawkins.
  6. John Green - Yes...I have only read TFIOS.  I know...I need to read more.  The end.
  7. Dawn Metcalf - I enjoyed her debut book last year entitled Indelible, and cannot wait to re-read it and delve into the next book in this series.
  8. Rick Yancy - Similar to Metcalf, I read this book last year and loved it.  Recently, I re-read The 5th Wave and downloaded The Infinite Sea onto my Kindle (It came out today!!!)
  9. J.R.R. Tolkien - I have only read The Hobbit, and I honestly didn't care for it.  However, I LOVE LOTR movies and want to get into the books!
  10. Adi Alsaid - Let's Get Lost is the first book by this author.  I found it so unique that I will definitely pick up the next book Alsaid writes.

Top Ten Books People Have Been Telling You That You MUST Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

I don't get a lot of people saying, "You need to read this book".  So, this is going to be a mix of books people tell me that I need to read as well as books that everyone raves about that I have not read yet.

  
 


  1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - I read the first two books of the Harry Potter series when I was younger ad did not like them.  Everyone says to pick up the series again, so perhaps in the future.
  2. The Lightning Thief - I am told so many great things about the Percy Jackson series, but have always felt like I was too old.  However, the more I hear about it the more appealing it becomes.
  3. The Lord of the Rings - I LOVE the movies, but have yet to read the books.  I tried reading The Hobbit (twice) but couldn't get into the writing style which makes me nervous to read this series.
  4. Outlander - Since I am going to Scotland and Stars is creating a series out of this book, I have been told that I should read it. I have started it, but am not too far yet.
  5. Wicked - One of my best friends loves this series and I have bought her quite a few of these books for birthdays and Christmas, but have yet  to read them myself.
  6. Coraline - Or anything Neil Gaiman really.  You see, I have reservations, though.  I read Coraline back in elementary school and was scarred for life when it got to the button for eyes scene.  I'm not sure if I ever will read this book again.
  7. Daughter of Smoke and Bone - I have heard great things about this series by a lot of people and have been told that I would like it.  It is definitely something that appeals to me and would love to read sometime in the near future!
  8. Looking for Alaska - So, I was late coming into the John Green scene with just reading The Fault In Our Stars not even a year ago.  I keep getting pestered to read his other books.  Believe me people, I will get there eventually!  So many books, so little time.
  9. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Okay, so I kind of threw this one in there.  Either people really enjoy this book, or they did not.  Mostly I hear people saying that they love it, and the  premise seems very intriguing to me.
  10. Obsidian - Everyone seems to enjoy these books and their reminiscence of Twilight, and since I liked Twilight that I should read these too.  Again, so many books and so little time...
