Top Ten Books on My Winter 2013/2014 TBR
I also had The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine and Roomies by Tara Altebrando & Sara Zarr on my list, buuuuut...I kinda already read them. So I guess it's a good thing that I'm already ahead! That's a nice change!
1. Being Sloane Jacobs by Lauren Morrill. I met Lauren in February. I immediately read Meant to Be and really enjoyed it. I love the unique premise of her newest novel, and I can't wait to get into it!
2. Cold Spell by Jackson Pearce. I didn't realize just how connected the events of this series were until I read Fathomless. Basically, crap is gonna go down in this novel, and I'm glad my library has finally ordered its copies! About time, y'all!
3. The F-It List by Julie Halpern. I'm loving all the bucket list books coming out right now because it's so cool to see what tasks are important to different people and how they goes about completing those tasks. This one caught my attention on Netgalley. I wasn't approved for it, but that just made me want it more!
4. Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd. I find it absolutely fascinating that Megan is continuing the story but drawing inspiration from different gothic classics for each installment. Brilliant! HDC is going to be a sort of Jekyll & Hyde so that's going to be interesting. Also, I need some more Montgomery. You don't just end a novel like that, Megan. Sheesh!
5. Infinite by Jodi Meadows. The Newsoul trilogy is so incredibly unique, and Jodi's writing is full of feels. I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. *grabby hands for Sam* *thinks for a second* *slaps Maura's hands away* No, Maura. You had your turn! :P
6. Let the Storm Break by Shannon Messenger. Vale and Audra's romance is really sweet, but with the ending of Let the Sky Fall, things are going to be drastically different in this sequel. I hope everything is okay for them!
7. Perfect Lies by Kiersten White. Mind Games is pretty different from Kiersten's other work, but it was really cool. I just got the novella "Annie & Fia" and that's tiding me over until I can read the full book.
8. Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy. You can read my full reasons why in my WoW post for SEMV, but I love the bucket-list-haha-not-really premise. Can't wait for this one!
9. The Treatment by Suzanne Young. There's no way I can wait until closer to pub time to find out what's going to happen to Sloane and James!
10. Waterfell by Amalie Howard. Whimsical Mama Maura talked this one up so much that I can't wait to read it!
What books (and book boyfriends!) are going to keep you warm this winter? Let me know & feel free to share your TTT links!
Being Slane Jacob is so freaking awesome. I don't know how I feel about it in comparison to Meant To Be. I like the characters and the story more but L. Morrill had more memorable lines in MTB. I need Infinite too. What happens? How does it end? These are answers that I *NEED* to know but currently do not. This is a big problem. Someone rec'd the F-It to me and I added it my tbr. I have no idea what it's about but I was promised awesome (and I'm pretty sure tears). Love those kinds of books though :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... My problem with MTB was that I didn't buy the two MCs so hopefully that'll be good. I'm going to start it later today so I'll let you know what I think!
DeleteLots of good books on your list...many are sitting on my shelf waiting to be read as well. Side Effects May Vary sounds really good and I'm looking forward to that one.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT is here.
I hope I can get that soon. I've wanted it desperately for months. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteI'm so glad to see Side Effects May Vary on your list! It is an amazing book!
ReplyDeleteKate @ Ex Libris
SO jealous you've already gotten to read it, Kate!
DeleteThe Treatment is for sure high up on my list. I absolutely loved The Program. I can't wait to read Unhinged either! Also, Her Dark Curiosity, EEP!
ReplyDeleteI want to be excited for Unhinged, but I haven't even read Splintered yet! So behind!
DeleteA lot of interesting books on your list. And you remind me how many great series I have to catch up/read first book yet. :o)
ReplyDeleteI am catching up on a lot of series via audiobook, which has been nice.
DeleteCOLD SPELL was interesting in my opinion. I'm super excited for HER DARK CURIOSITY and I feel like I've been seeing SEEING SLOANE JACOBS on a lot of lists.
ReplyDeleteJackson's books aren't my super top favorite, but they are different and, yes, interesting. I just want to see what the big mystery is, you know?
DeleteGreat list!! I have seen Side Effects May Vary on several top 10 lists today. I will have to check that one out.
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/12/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-winter-to.html
I hope you will. Julie is fantastic and I love her! Thanks for visiting, Jacque!
DeleteGreat list -- so many gorgeous covers! I also want to read Being Sloane Jacobs and Side Effects May Vary!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I just realized these covers all do kind of coordinate. :)
DeleteOoh very nice list! Curious to read Perfect Lies. While I didn't love Mind Games, I am still intrigued enough to read this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Mind Games was not my favorite either, but it is pretty unique. The novella, "Annie & Fia" was pretty good!
DeleteI was really excited for Waterfell but all the negative reviews kind of lessened my enthusiasm. I'll go check out the review you linked up and see if that can boost my spirits on it! I agree about Infinite, I need to know what happens!
ReplyDeleteBoo! Maura and I have very similar tastes in books so her recommendation sold me.
DeleteI really wanted Her Dark Curiosity.
ReplyDeleteMe too! TMD ended so abruptly. Must. know. what. happens... Need. more. Montgomery!
DeleteGreat list! I read Incarnate earlier this year and it was so beautiful and I really enjoyed it. I've already pre-ordered the other books in the Newsoul series and those covers are gorgeous! Some great books here, enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Becca @ Lost in Thought :)
My pleasure, Becca. I hope you enjoy the rest of Newsoul!!
DeleteAwesome list! I can't wait to read Her Dark Curiosity and Cold Spell. I actually have both and will crack them open once winter vacation begins! I love reading during the winter and when work is over! Yay!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I no longer have winter breaks and vacations, but I do have lots of time off from work right now so I have plenty of reading time! Enjoy your vacation!
DeleteWow, yours is the second list to include COLD SPELL... I think I need to read that series! HER DARK CURIOSITY is my review stack as we speak. I really enjoyed the first in that series so I'm looking forward to it as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's really cool! I'm not positive, but I think Cold Spell might be the last one... HDC is in my stack as well. I need to get to it asap!
DeleteYou have a lot of goods ones on your TBR. I hope you enjoy them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier. It's very much appreciated.
Thank you; I hope so too. And it was absolutely my pleasure!
DeleteDefinitely read Asunder asap. It's even better than Incarnate!
ReplyDeleteRead the F-it List, was a cute book. I'll have to add some of the others from your list onto my TBR list. :)

ReplyDeleteBeing Sloane Jacobs looks cute. I'm hoping it's like Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler type of book. I wasn't the biggest fan of Meant to Be. I mean I liked it okay, but it just wasn't a must-read for me. I really want to read The Madman's Daughter before HDC comes out. They both look really good... and creepy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My TTT
The Jackson Pearce series looks very interesting! Your list reminds me that I still need to read Asunder before Infinite comes out...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Top Ten!
SO MANY PEOPLE have mentioned BEING SLOANE JACOBS today. That's it, I need to read it! Especially since skating is involved! COLD SPELL is on my list, too...I'm getting it for Christmas! <3 Did you sign up for the INFINITE Read-A-Thon I'm co-hosting yet? I really hope you'll take part!! Oh, Harper just sent me PERFECT LIES to review. I'm going to need to get MIND GAMES!
ReplyDelete...hmmm, I think I have an e-arc of WATERFELL that I forgot? Eep!
Oh, I'm hoping to start BEING SLOANE JACOBS tonight! And INFINITE needs to just get in my hands, like, yesterday. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
I have to start reading Pearce and Meadows, everyone loves their books. I need to open White's novel too. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Wow, great list of books. i'm dying to read Her Dark Curiosity too. Lots of new books for me. I've to check out Cold Spell and The Treatment.
ReplyDeleteI really like your picks. I can't wait to read Being Sloane Jacobs, Infinite, Perfect Lies and The Treatment. And I need to read The Madman's Daughter asap, the cover for Her Dark Curiosity is just beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT! :)
I have heard of all of these and they all sound amazing. I'd love to read them, but who knows when will I be able to. Being Sloane Jacobs sounds so good. Great list. Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteFinally a chance to read! (: I totally finished Pawn hours before my post went up and I forgot to pull it and add a new book. *sigh* Oh well. At least now I can have one marked off! (:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're FINALLY going to read Waterfell. Hands off Lo. He's MINE. Just sayin'.
I miss Infinite already. *cries*
There are some great books that you have to look forward to Mary! I also can't wait for Being Sloane and Side Effects May Vary, but I forgot to add it to my list! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I hope you'll enjoy them all :) I actually got approved for Being Sloane Jacobs today, so I'm really excited about reading it :)
ReplyDeleteHer Dark Curiosity!! Yes, loved the first book. This one is on my to-read list as well. Hope the action is as good as the last one. Thanks for stopping by my TTT.
ReplyDeleteI wanna read The Treatment!!!
