Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List

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

Here we are. Another week, another Top Ten Tuesday. This week's theme is Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List. This is a little easier than some of the other TTT's in my opinion. I have tons of books that I can't wait to read this season and it's almost hard to narrow it down to just 10 (that's scary.) But, I've managed to do it and I really hope you enjoy checking out my TTT this week. If you participated, make sure to link me in the comments so I can make my TBR pile even more unhealthy by adding more and more books to it. #bookbloggerprobs In no particular order, here's the TBR books I'm most excited to bust out this season!

  1. Hollow City by Ransom Riggs - If you know anything about me, you know that I am severly obsessed with Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. (And, talk about it all the time) So, naturally I'm dying to read the sequel. In fact, it's a wonder I haven't read this yet. I've been so occupied with other books that I just haven't had the chance to pick it up! But, I know I'll be getting to it this season and I can't wait until that day.
  2. Cress by Marissa Meyer - Another series I adore is all of my being is The Lunar Chronicles. I finished Scarlet a little less than a week ago and if I don't read Cress soon, I think I might explode. There's a BookTube hosted read-a-long going on with a liveshow on April 12. I'm hoping to finish this book before then so that I can watch the liveshow and take part in the fangirl festivities.
  3. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness - Let me start by saying, if you've never seen the hardback version of this you're seriously missing out. This is honestly one of the most beautiful books on my shelf (especially without the dust jacket), but that's not the only reason this is one of my most anticipated TBR books of the Spring. I really think I'm just going to adore this book and I've heard nothing but great things. I can't wait to read it!
  4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell - If you haven't heard of Fangirl, please let me know what rock you've been living under. This book is hyped and praised everywhere you look and I'm sure it's all with good reason. I own this book (in all it's beautiful covered glory) and it gnaws at me to read it each and every day. I know (at least I hope) I'll get around to reading it this season.
  5. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - I received this book as a gift from my awesome book blogger best friend, Becca at Pivot Book Reviews, a week or two ago and still haven't had the chance to delve into it. I really want to since she loved it so much and I'm sure it'll be enjoyable, but the time just has yet to present itself. It's sort of upsetting that I can't read non-stop. I just want to read ALL THE BOOKS!
  6. The Diviners by Libba Bray - Since purchasing this book from Barnes and Noble I've found out that it's actually supposed to be a lot scarier than I originally thought. Learning that made me more excited to read it and also.. more weary of reading it. However, I can't shake the excitement and need to read it that's been welling up inside of me. I really hope I can get to this in the next few months because I'm immensely excited to read it.
  7. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - I've had this book on my shelf for over a month, calling my name. And, yet.. I haven't read it yet. Like I've said numerous times about this book, I just have this feeling that I would really love it. I love books and movies that involve people going crazy and the cover is just so insanely pretty. (See what I did there? Insanely pretty.) I want to read it now!
  8. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers - I got this book in paperback for, like, only a couple buck on Book Outlet the other day. Hollaaaaa! I had heard about it a little, but didn't really know what it was about until about a week before I purchased it. Assassian good girls working for death? Count me in. This book is definitely way up there on my Spring TBR.
  9. Across The Universe by Beth Revis - Ever since I started reading The Lunar Chronicles I've been interested in this book simply because they're book sci-fi. This is a genre I wasn't even aware I liked before reading Cinder. But, now that I know, I cannot wait to read this series. I'm sure I'll love them just as much based on all the raving and praise I've heard.
  10. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner - I'm not quite sure why but I am, like.. spiritually drawn to this book or something. Maybe it's the gorgeous cover. I'm not quite sure. But, regardless, I'm DYING to read this book. Hell, it's in my TBR and on my top ten list... and I don't even own it yet. Do you see the major problem there? Because I definitely do.
Are you planning on reading some of the same books that I am? Or, have you already read any of these books? Were they any good? Am I in for a roller coaster of emotions this Spring? Let me know in the comments!

Only two more days until the first ever Thursday Thoughts! Check out my introduction post right HERE and consider joining us on March 20. It's going to be tons of fun! Don't miss out!

  1. Okay so, here we go.
    2. READ CRESS READ CRESS READ CRESS. I thought it was the best of the series so far.

    4. I adore Fangirl. It's so fabulous. As is everything Rainbow Rowell writes.

    5. I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN'T READ ANNA. It's wonderful. Get on it.

    6. The Diviners freaked me out. It was good, just not my personal cup of tea. I'm not a fan of books that scare me. I'm a wimp.

    8. I love the first two books in this series. But I love historical/fantasy books.

    9. I have this entire series sitting on my bookshelf. I should read it soon.

    10. I LOVED this book so much. But fantasy/sci-fi is my favorite genre. It's basically Titanic in space.

    I think that's all. :)

  2. I am also hiding under your "Haven't Read Cress" rock of shame. ;) I need to get on that ASAP.

    I really REALLY love Grave Mercy and highly recommend it. And the These Broken Stars cover is absolutely gorgeous. GORGEOUS.

  3. You MUST read The Diviners. It was exceptional. Creepy, mysterious, and fun!

  4. So many of these are on my list too, just a little more in the future. Actually, ALL of these are on my eventual TBR list! Except A Monster Calls, which was quite enjoyable. I do wish I had the physical book though. I hadn't actually even heard of The Diviners until I read your list, but upon looking it up, yeah, I need to read it!

  15. Fangirl is one of my all-time favorites, I don't think it will disappoint! Great list, enjoy!

  16. I still need to try out Random Riggs books, they looks so different. I need to pick up a copy of Cress too. I've read Across the Universe and Grave Mercy both of which I really enjoyed, though Grave Mercy is one of my favorite YA books out there. Great list!

  17. Hollow City and Fangirl are two I need to read as well.
    Check out my Top 10.

  18. GREAT list! I loved Grave Mercy. Hopefully you enjoy that one. All your other picks are quite high on my TBR list, though I don't know that I'll get to them just yet, so most didn't make my list. But I do want to read them ALL! :D Thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy Tuesday. :D

  19. This is a great list! Cress is one I just picked up this last week! I can't wait to read Scarlet and Cress now that have them both. And are you ever in for a treat! Grave Mercy is SO GOOD!!! Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today. Happy reading.

  20. Oh my gosh, Fangirl is so awesome! I hope you love it! :) I really liked The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, too. I haven't read the other book yet though. And I agree with you about the scary factor in The Diviners! I read the first chapter last summer and put the book down because I was too creeped out to continue reading it before going to bed...and haven't picked it up since.

  21. I'm in love with The Lunar Chronicles and Cress was no exception! I hope you enjoy it. It has become one of my favorite series of this year. These Broken Stars was a great read for me too =)

  22. Gah! I cannot believe I haven't picked up Hollow City yet either. -_- I loved Miss Peregrine!! And I also have to read A Monster Calls - I've adored everything else I've read by Ness, and I just know A Monster Calls is going to break me... which makes me really excited to read it, but also terrified, lol. You've got a bunch of other fantastic books on your TBR, too! These Broken Stars, Anna and the French Kiss, Fangirl, Cress... all absolute favorites of mine. I hope you enjoy them all!! :D

  23. I have to admit, I am a bit jealous that you get to experience some great books for the first time. Mara Dyer, Cress, Anna, Fangirl- all great books. I hope you enjoy them.

  24. I need to read everything on your list! The only one I've read is Across the Universe, and I still have to read the third book. Great list and thanks for stopping by my TTT post.

  26. Nice! Across the Universe, These Broken Stars, along with a couple others are on my TBR list to one day read. Fangirl is a cute read for the most part. Hope you read some great books this spring!
