This Week's Topic:
Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree This Year

1.

Complete The Darkest Minds trilogy, signed from ApollyCon (even if I won't get it until February)

2.

I'm only about 25% in, but it's really interesting and I loved Vengeance Road (I'd also want this one signed from ApollyCon)

3.

I tried this one a year or so ago and it didn't click, but I'm willing to try it again since I've heard positive things!

4.

I REALLY liked this one, and I need to add to my JLA collection!

5.

I have the first two, and all I need is this one!

6.

I loved this one and just need to add it to my shelves!

7.

I need to read the last book, Boundless, but I'd love to have the full trilogy!

8.

This one sounds really good, and maybe I'll finally get around to reading it!

9.

I keep meaning to read this book because I've only heard positive things! Can't wait to read it!

10.

 I loved the Splintered trilogy, and can't wait to read the epilogue and other short stories!

So there are the books I'd love to wake up on Christmas morning and find under my tree! Some I've read and some I haven't, but either way it'd be adding to my bookshelves!

Top Ten Tuesday #5

I'm so-so when it comes to reading new releases. I've been known to drop what I'm reading or planning on reading and grabbing something that was just released. I did that quite often this year, but there were a few 2014 releases that I just didn't get to.

10.

The Young Elites by Marie Lu

Even though I haven't finished her Legend trilogy, I have loved every bit of it. I can't wait to see what her new dystopian trilogy will be like!

9.

Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I've loved all of Ms. Armentrout's books, and I can't wait to see what her contemporary book will be like.

8.

Deliverance by C.J. Redwine

I wanted to get to this book to find out what happens with Rachel and Logan. I read the first two so quickly!

7.

Rise of the Arcane Fire by Kristin Bailey

The first book is what really got me into steampunk, so of course I want to continue the series that got me hooked!

6.

Renegade by Debra Driza

I really want to know how Mila deals with finding out that she is an android and finding the only person who can help her.

5.

Vitro by Jessica Khoury

I thought that the first book was so interesting with how it incorporated genetics, it will be interesting to see how genetics is shown in this book.

4.

Uninvited by Sophie Jordan

A girl finds out that she will likely become a murderer due to a gene she has. Fascinating!

3.

Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor

I loved the first two books, and I can't wait to see how everything ends!

2.

Winterspell by Claire Legrand

A dark retelling of The Nutcracker. Enough said.

1.

Talon by Julie Kagawa

I've loved pretty much everything else that she has written, so this shouldn't be any different!

So these are the top ten books that I wanted to read last year, that were also published last year. I hope to get to them this year, but I have a TON of books that I also want to get to. So many books, so little time. What books did you plan to read in 2014, but didn't get to?

"Winter's Passage (The Iron Fey, #1.5)" by Julie Kagawa

Another novella, another short review. This short story takes place when Meghan is going to the Unseelie Court with Ash. It fills the gap that happens between book one and two.

"The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)" by Julie Kagawa

I was so excited to read a book with fairies and other creatures. I guess I just can't accept reality or something. Oh well. Fantasy is much better. I loved how the fey weren't all cutesy and sparkly like Tinkerbell. They were more bad-ass.
