Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme run by The Broke and the Bookish. I'm going to do a slight spin on the topic this week, and I'm going to split the Top Ten into two lists of five. It will be: Five Books I Own that I Plan on Reading this Spring, and Top Five New Releases that Need to Hurry Up and Get Released Already Lists.

**Neither of these lists are in any particular order.**

Top Five Books I Own that I Plan on Reading this Spring


The Maze Runner by James Dashner

1. The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I've heard lots of good things about this series, and I have high hopes for it. I should have read it eons ago, but better late than never, right!?





Nevermore by Kelly Creagh

2. Nevermore by Kelly Creagh

I've been looking forward to getting my hands on this book for what seems like forever, so now that I finally have a copy, I'll be starting it as soon as I finish the books I'm currently reading.




Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

3. Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

This is more of a "have to" read rather than a desperately needing to read. I need it for a challenge I'm taking part in on Goodreads, so might as well get it completed soon. High fantasy isn't my usual choice, urban fantasy is more my thing, but hey, I'll be open minded.



Die for Me by Amy Plum

4. Die for Me by Amy Plum

This cover is so beautiful! I'm trying not to pre-judge it based on the this, but I'm really hoping the story matches up.





Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

5. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

With the amount of horror and ghost stories I'm reading lately, you'd think Halloween was around the corner, not the time of fluffy bunnies and chocolate eggs. But, this book should be terrifyingly awesome!





Top Five New Releases that Need to Hurry Up and Get Released Already



Love, In English by Karina Halle

1. Love, In English by Karina Halle
Expected Release: 22nd April 2014

Karina Halle is one of my favourite authors, and if she writes it, I'll happily read it.





Free to Fall, by Lauren Miller

2. Free to Fall, by Lauren Miller
Expected Release: 13th May 2014

The concept behind this book sounds amazing and terrifying all at once. An app that helps you make the correct choices all the time to ensure your constant happiness? Sounds like it could be a really good dystopia. *fingers crossed*


The Road by Jay McLean

3. The Road by Jay McLean
Expected Release: 8th April 2014

The New Adult genre can be a mine-field to read through in order to find a really good book. I have high hopes for this one, the blurb sounds really interesting.




The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorensen

4. The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorensen
Expected Release: 27th March 2014

I chose this book for my Waiting on Wednesday post last week, and the more I see of it the more I can't wait to read it.




Red at Night by Katie McGarry

5. Red at Night by Katie McGarry
Expected Release: 1st April 2014

I have a slight pet peeve: If a model is on the cover of a book, their hair/eye colour better match the descriptions in the book. It's safe to assume the female MC's hair will be purple as it's mentioned in the blurb, so, the male MC's hair better be blond... But other that that, this books sounds really good.

  5. Great picks! I am looking forward to reading a few of these myself, especially The Maze Runner as I want to get to it before the movie comes out. I hope you find the time to get to them all :) My TTT.

    1. Ever since I saw the trailer for the Maze Runner, I've been tempted to drop the books I'm reading for a bit and read it! It looks so good. I'm trying not to let my expectations get out of hand, but I think it's going to be a really good read. Hope you get a chance to read it soon too. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. I'm a little apprehensive with Seraphina, I'm not sure if it's my thing, but I'll give it a go. Hopefully it turns out to be a good read. I'm trying to keep my expectations on the Maze Runner in check, but I'm really looking forward to it!
