Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme run by The Broke and the Bookish.
I’d love to be able to get my hands on every new bookish release – actually, I think we all would! – but alas, my bank balance isn’t infinite and the local library isn’t the most reliable, so my must-read list keeps growing with only the occasional trim here and there. Truthfully, this list is a LOT longer than 10 books, but these are the tip of a huge iceberg of 2014 releases that I wanted to read last year, but I’d love to read at some stage in 2015!

Which books should I read ASAP?? Maybe Cress? But! I also want to get my hands on Red Rising…
Lots of these made my longlist today too, but not so many made the shortlist, there was too many to choose between! I recommend getting stuck in to We Were Liars, it was quite a short read, so shouldn't take long to get through!

It's so hard to decide between books, isn't it! I could easily have added another five or six =) I really do need to read We Were Liars - it's been sitting on my Kindle App for months! I need to check those Kindles from time to time. I always overlook them in favour of the physical books right in full-view on the bookshelves. Definitely need to change this!
Deletecress has been getting good reviews so might try that one, I am waiting in line for my turn in the library

All the awesome reviews for Cress makes it even more tempting! I read Scarlet a few months back, and I kept putting off getting Cress to cut down on the wait time until Winter is released... this will have to change soon! I have to get my hand on it =) I need to know what happens! Thanks for stopping by, Ailyn!
Deleteso so many good ones. I want to read Talon too and Since youve been gone. We Were liars was pretty awesome. Loved that book. Right now I am listening to Thousand Pieces of you and I am loving it. Cress Rocked. And Snow and Ashes was on my list too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm so glad you're enjoying A Thousand Pieces of You! I saw a couple of review that made me question if I wanted to read it... but I'm still really curious about it. I really will have to try it, I think! Thanks for stopping by, Jenn!
DeleteTrust Me I'm Lying is also on my list. So many of these are on my TBR. I hope I get to read them this year, and you too! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about Trust Me I'm Lying! The cover was so striking, and I'm really glad the synopsis was just as good. Hopefully we get around to reading all the books on our lists soon =) Thanks for stopping by, Jazmen!
DeleteAlmost all of these are on my TBR as well! I literally just added Red Rising last night! The Merciless was awesome, by the way. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
Ooooh I really want to read The Merciless! I was looking at a hardback not too long ago, but the finances don't really stretch that far right now, aaarrggh! I'm praying for a sale soon, teehee!
DeleteSnow Like Ashes seems to be on everyone's list. I forgot it on mine but it totally should've been there lol...... I'm excited to see what you'll think of Since You've Been Gone! I really enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I did notice this! So many people want to read Snow Like Ashes, I really hope we all love it :D
DeleteI bought Since You've Been Gone late last year, but I kinda need to get in a contemporary mood! I really want to love it, and since I loved Amy and Roger's Epic Detour, I have pretty high expectations for this one.
Ohhhh nice! I still need to read the Merciless as well! Heard good things and I love me a creepy read!
ReplyDeleteTalon, A Thousand Pieces of You, Snow Like Ashes and Cress were all amazing! Hope you get to read and love all these this year!
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Oh and love the new design by the way! Think this is my first time stopping by this year! It's beautiful!
DeleteAwww, thanks Jessica! Glad you like the design :D
DeleteI'm really looking forward to The Merciless, I'd love a really creepy read right about now! And Cress, I NEED to get my hands on it ASAP!
I'm glad I read We Were Liars and the blogging community has been awesome when keeping mum about it. If you get a chance, I would recommend reading it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard something about a twist... but that's about it! I've kept miles away from reviews, so I'll be going in completely clueless :D Hopefully I love it!
DeleteI recently read We Were Liars and it was so amazing; it's definitely one of my new favorites. Since You've Been Gone is one that I've been meaning to read as well because it's been getting so many 5 star reviews. I've heard that the Merciless is really creepy if you read it at night which makes me really want to read it! Hopefully you'll get around to reading all of these this year. :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Hahahaha! I love a good creepy read, and yep, I always end up reading them at night! I think it makes them even scarier *mwahahaha* :D The Merciless sounds so fabulous, and I really hope it's terrifying!
DeleteYour new design is lovely, Alma! Very easy on the eyes :)
ReplyDeleteRed Rising!! I hope you'll love it, I am in awe and in love with that series. Have a great rest of the week and happy reading.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Thanks, Lexxie! Glad you like it! I was a little worried about the fonts, I wanted to choose something that was easy to read, yet looked pretty =)
DeleteOoh, now I'm looking forward to reading Red Rising even more! It sounds like such a fab book, and I really hope I love it, too!
Cress and Since You've Been Gone are both wonderful! I truly loved them.
ReplyDeleteMost of the others are on my to-read list as well. I want to read Red Rising, Snow Like Ashes, The Merciless, Talon and A Thousand Pieces of You soon though.
Happy reading! :D
Yay, ooh I can't wait to read both of them! Both Cress and Since You've Been Gone have so many fabulous reviews and I can't wait to share in all the awesomeness :D Hopefully we both get to catch up with our to-read lists this year! They get out of control so easily :D
DeleteYOU CHANGED IT YOU CHANGED ITTTTTT YOUR BLOG LAYOUT! It looks really good Alma! Ok back to the TTT. YES read Red Rising! Oooo and also Cress too! There were so many books I wanted to read in 2014 too but I just didn't end up getting to them :P
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thanks Val! So glad you like it :)
DeleteIt's impossible to get around to read them all! I wish I had more reading time but silly reality gets in the way - oh, and sleep! LOL! I really have to get my hands on Red Rising ASAP!
