Okay, this week the problem wasn't coming up with enough picks for the Top Ten list...it was narrowing them down! I tried to include books from a variety of genres but as usual it is skewed towards fantasy and dystopian :D
1.) Delirium by Lauren Oliver — after all the glowing ratings of this one, I simply have to get my hands on it.
2.) Divergent by Veronica Roth — ditto!
3.) The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab — I've been intrigued by the sound of this one from the beginning, can't wait to read it!
4.) Abandon by Meg Cabot — We all know Meg Cabot is amazing, and I really want to see what she does with the myth of Persephone. And I don't even have words for the beauty of that cover.
5.) Shadows on the Moon by Zoe Marriott — I love the idea of a retelling of Cinderella set in feudal Japan!
6.) Supernaturally by Kiersten White — I really enjoyed Paranormalcy, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how Evie's story continues. Plus, I want more Reth :D
7.) Dark Mirror by M. J. Putney — I love fantasy and I love the Regency period, so a book combining the two? Oh yeah.
8.) Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis (aka. A Most Improper Magick) — Ditto! Also this one's been recommended quite a bit, and it just sounds so fun.
9.) Choker by Elizabeth Woods — I thought I should include at least one contemporary novel on here, and this one has an intriguingly vague description. But apparently it is a psychological thriller, and I am always up for one of those...
10.) Wither by Lauren DeStefano — again, heard great things about this one and I'm interested to see how the scientific/genetic angle is handled. Plus the cover is amazing.
Wither looks like it will be a good book. I look forward to it, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have a lot of those on my to-read list. I can't believe I left Abandon off! That cover really is beautiful.
