Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme run by The Broke and the Bookish. The topic this week is "Top Ten Books I Can't Believe I Haven't/Want To Read From X Genre." Young Adult Fantasy has become my obsession over the past couple of years, and it still amazes me how many books I haven’t read yet!

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor – I know I’ll love it, yet I haven’t read it! I've been haunting The Book Depository lately, and this has crossed my path more than once - I think I should give in a get it…
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman – This is sitting on my bookshelf… unread. I guess I should read it soon!
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta – Why haven’t I read you?!
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge – I simply NEED this book in my life! Plus, it's a retelling - even more reason to NEED!

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead – This is another on sitting on my bookshelves. Well, on a positive note: it won’t be on this list much longer! :)
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke – A.G. Howard loves it… I love the Splintered series… so by default, I should love this one?? Let’s hope that logic works! I’ve heard some mixed things about it, but hopefully I’ll love it!
Half Bad by Sally Green – I feel this will get repetitive, but I NEED IT!
The Falconer by Elizabeth May – This is the trouble with ‘Need to Read’ lists – I’m finding so many reasons to raid The Book Depository! But… why am I thinking of Celaena when I see the name Aileana?? (*Sigh* I’m obsessed with the Throne of Glass books… it’s official!)

The Lost Sun by Tessa Gratton - Asgard + Odin + Norse myths = I NEED!
Antigoddess by Kendare Blake – Greek mythology is a little less appealing to me – I much prefer Norse and Egyptian – but … it’s mythology! I’ll read it, and probably love it :D
Have you read any of the books on my list? Which one should I try to read first??
I still have to read all of these as well, except for Vampire Academy -which I highly enjoyed. I adore fantasy, but there are so many that I haven't read yet! Daughter of Smoke and Bone has been on my to-read shelf on Goodreads since I started using it in May of 2013...
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
It's so hard to keep up with all the new fantasy books coming out, isn't it! I really need to read Vampire Academy, it's one of those books I should have read so long ago, and I still haven't read it! (oops!) Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteSeaphina and Vampire Academy made my list as well. I so NEED to read Cruel Beauty as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I have to get my hands on Cruel Beauty ASAP! I've heard so much praise for it, it's about time I read it :D Thanks for stopping by, Amanda, and I hope we love these books when we read them!
DeleteI'm totally with you on a lot of these. Finnikin and the Rock made my list but Seraphina, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Antigoddess, and Cruel Beauty are all on my TBR. I did love The Falconer though. That was the book that made me realize that I like steampunk and stories about faeries. Great list!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Oohh, yay! So glad you loved The Falconer! Steampunk fairies?! Ok, I really should have read that book a long time ago! Thanks for stopping by, Cassi :)
DeleteCruel Beauty is SO amazing! You should definitely pick up a copy really soon. I hope you love it! I've been wanting to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone too, but haven't gotten around to it. Great list :)
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
I can't wait to read Cruel Beauty! I've see so much praise, I'm dying to get my hands on it :D Thanks for stopping by, Tracy :)
DeleteOh my gosh, The Falconer!!!!! I chose The Falconer as my favourite book of 2015, it is that good :D I also haven't read quite a few of the others but I'm hoping to read Half Bad sometime soon. Great list :)
ReplyDeleteZareena @ The Slanted Bookshelf
Oooh!! YAY! I'm so glad you loved it :D I really have to get my hands on The Falconer ASAP! I hope we both love Half Bad, I've heard lots of amazing things about it, so *fingers crossed* we'll love it :D Thanks for stopping by, Zareena!
DeleteFinnikin and DoSaB are on my list too! I really want to read those so hopefully this year! I forgot Cruel Beauty but that's one I've been meaning to pick up for a long time!
ReplyDeleteYes! I've been intending to get Cruel Beauty for ages, and I never managed to get it. I really hope we love Finikin and DoSaB! There's so much praise for both books, I really hope they're amazing :D Thanks, Eileen!
DeleteI haven't read anything but Vampire Academy but is was AWESOME! Hope you enjoy it! Good reading!

Old Follower :)
Ooh, I'm really looking forward to reading Antigoddess! So glad you enjoyed it :D Thanks, Jessica!
DeleteI also really need to read Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Cruel Beauty was awesome. Hope you like it when you get to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope we both love Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea :D
DeleteLOVE DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE, LOVED THE FALCONER (except that ending), and I'm currently reading Finnikin. I wanted to so badly loved Seraphina, but I think my choice of audiobook was a bad choice :P
ReplyDeleteI read your review of Seraphina! And I have the same issues as you with audiobooks... they just don't work for me, unfortunately. Hope you love Finnikin!
DeleteI really need to read The Falconer and Cruel Beauty. I hope that you enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by my blog :-)
ReplyDeleteHope we both love them, and thanks for stopping by, Chrissi!
DeleteI've heard that Finnikin on the rock is a great fantasy!! *-*
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: http://frannieinthepages.blogspot.it/2015/02/top-ten-tuesday-ten-books-i-cant.html
I hope it is! I've been looking forward to reading it for quite a while :)
DeleteI agree with most of these as ones i also need to read. I would definitely recommend Vampire Academy, i absolutely loved it when i read the series. I also hope you enjoy Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea more than i did, i just couldn't finish that one. Good luck and hope you get through them soon!
ReplyDeleteSanna @ Fanciful Fictions
Ooh, I really need to move VA up my TBR list it seems! I bought it late last year, as it's been sitting on my shelves since then. Thanks for stopping by, Sanna!
DeleteI have read Half Bad and The Winner's Curse, and I would definitely recommend both. I absolutely MUST read Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Cruel Beauty! They both sound amazing, and also, I own them. Great list, I hope you get to read these very soon :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, yay, glad you liked Half Bad and The Winner's Curse! Hopefully I'll love them, too! Thanks for stopping by, Shannon :)
DeleteHope we like them! Thanks for stopping by :)
