Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This first week's topic back from hiatus is Books On My Spring TBR. In order to narrow my focus a little bit, I'm sharing some 2016 YA releases that I hope to read this spring since I missed them last year. The titles I've listed below are all books that I either own or that I'm on hold for at the library. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
The Diablolic by S.J. Kincaid - I'm really excited to get to this one, especially since I've heard so many great things about it and the sampler I got to try was very intriguing.
Half Lost by Sally Green - This series has been one of my favorites and I need to know how it all ends. I'll be listening to this on audio, and hopefully my hold will be arriving soon.
Iron Cast by Destiny Soria - I purchased this when it was released, and somehow I've left it on my shelf. I will have to remedy that soon.
The Midnight Star by Marie Lu - I've been on hold for this on audiobook for ages and I'm finally getting closer to having the opportunity to hear the conclusion to what has been a fantastically dark series.
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco - I've heard so many wonderful things about this novel that I need to try it sooner rather than later.
Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare - I can't resist the Shadowhunter world, and plus it will help fill in some gaps between the end of The Mortal Instruments series and Lady Midnight.
This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab - I simply need more Schwab in my life!
Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake - I'm also on hold for the audiobook here and have been on hold for it for many months, so I hoping it will arrive soon. I'll be interested to see what Blake does.
A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir - I still can't believe I haven't read this sequel yet based on how much I loved An Ember in the Ashes. Must be the nerves - I'm hoping it lives up to the hype!
Are you planning on reading any of these books this spring, or have you already read them? Do you have any recommendations for which I should try first? As always, thanks for visiting and perhaps even commenting on my blog.
I can't wait to read Heartless but at the same time, I'm nervous. I hope you enjoy these books when you get around to them!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling! :)
DeleteThanks for visiting, Chrissi!
I love seeing all the different reactions to Three Dark Crowns- definitely an interesting book! Stalking Jack the Ripper looks great too, and I love that cover of The Midnight star!
ReplyDeleteI've seen all sorts of reviews of it, too, but I'm definitely interested in seeing how I like it. :)
DeleteI need to read Half Wild and Heartless! I probably won't get to them anytime soon though. I liked Iron Cast a lot. I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
Thanks, Lori!
DeleteIt's hard to keep up, isn't it? Most of my books are books I added last year.
ReplyDeleteMy list this week is up for comment. I can't decide what to read next: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2017/03/my-spring-tbr.html
I know right!
DeleteThanks for sharing, Deb!
Looking forward to reading Heartless. She's one of my fave authors! Here is My TTT.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll both love it!
DeleteThanks for sharing!
I really need to finish Sally Green's series too! I can't believe I still haven't got round to it.
ReplyDeleteI think all of your books are on my long TBR. I hope you have more success with getting round to them than I have!
Happy Reading
Rachel @ Paein-and-Ms4Tune
I know! I hope we'll enjoy it!
DeleteThe Diabolic is DARK. I'm still trying to figure out how it'll have a sequel....
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good to me! :)
DeleteGreat list! I read Three Dark Crowns last month and found it to be a great start to the series. There is a surprise ending to leave you hanging :) Heartless is another one on my desk that I should get to soon. I hope you enjoy all of your spring reads!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2017/03/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-spring-tbr.html
Glad you liked it! I hope you'll enjoy yours as well.
DeleteThanks for sharing, Jacque!
Gosh, I am behind. I haven't read any of the books on your list either, though I have been eyeing a few of them like the Tahir series. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI sped through Tahir's first book! I hope you love it and get to all the books on your list!
DeleteGreat list, I see some I want to read in there. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Stormi!
DeleteI really need to get Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: Marie @ Pages to Explore
Hopefully we'll both like it!
DeleteSince I have this weird obsession with Jack the Ripper, Stalking Jack the Ripper looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I'm hoping it will live up to our expectations. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing!
*flails* I want to This Savage Song so much! I see it everywhere and get book envy all the time. XD But in a good way. And I've wanted to read Heartless also. I've heard mixed reviews of it, so now I'm really curious. And everyone tells me I need to read Sally Green.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list!
I know! Yes, I bet you'd love the Half Bad series! :) Happy reading to the both of us!
DeleteGosh, I didn't enjoy Iron Cast much, but many do. There was just something about the unrealistic twists that bothered me. Great TTT!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what I think of it! Thanks for coming over, Lonna. :)
DeleteI totally missed Heartless and stalking Jack the Ripper as well. I find serial killers extremely intriguing, and I love the premise that was given for this one! Also, it's fiction. Like um YES COUNT ME IN
ReplyDeleteSame for me! :)
DeleteI really liked Three Dark Crowns, and cannot wait for the sequel. I have The Diabolic and This Savage Song, but I keep bumping them every time I get a new book (I will read them soon. I swear!). I have been waiting for Heartless from the library for over 3 months, but I have heard really good things. Great list.
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB
Good to hear! I'm hoping we'll both be able to read them soon! Thanks for visiting, Sam!
DeleteGreat list! I really want to read The Diabolic and Heartless as well! Personally, I was a bit disappointed in Stalking the Ripper, but I hope you'll enjoy it more! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn! I'll see what I make of it!
DeleteA lot of my TBR is here, lol. I really enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper and the sequel looks like it's going to be good too.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you there! :)
DeleteTorch, Three Dark Crowns and The Diabolic weren't on my list but they are on my TBR for the year. My main focus in spring is finishing series I've started so I'm trying to be patient and hold off on those ones. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on them!
ReplyDeleteIt was so difficult to narrow my list down to just ten... :)
DeleteThanks for visiting!
I read Heartless and Stalking Jack and both were really really good. Highly recommend. I was nervous about Heartless because I didn't know what Marissa Meyer would be like outside of The Lunar Chronicles world-- but she is still the same really addicting writer!!
ReplyDeleteI have SO many 2016 books I need to read-- I wish I was one of those people that could read 150-200 books per year. Then maybe I wouldn't be so behind :(
Good to know, Michelle! :)
DeleteGreat list. I've heard of about half of them. I want to read Heartless, but need to finish The Lunar Chronicles first. Three Dark Crowns is on my list to read this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the conclusion to The Lunar Chronicles, Sarah!
DeleteI've heard great things about so many of these books, I hope you get the ones you've been on hold for soon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lenore!
DeleteI was surprised by how much I enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper. I hope you do as well! Iron Cast was one of my favorite debuts last year. Read it, Lauren!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get to it!
DeleteGreat list! It reminds me too that I have two of Schwab's books sitting on my TBR pile that I have yet to read :3 (oops). Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Thanks! I hope you pick them up soon!! :)
DeleteI loved Heartless and Three Dark Crowns, and I really want to read This Savage Song. Happy reading! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue!
DeleteThe Midnight Star!!! I love all of Marie Lu's books. She is a great writer. Heartless was good too!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! :D
DeleteAlmost all of these are on my TBR, but I'm waiting on the Victoria Schwab series in finished to so I can binge it! HAPPY READING!
ReplyDeleteI bet that'll be amazing! :)
DeleteThanks, Kayla!
I spy many on your list that piqued my interest when they released. These include The Diabolic (the hype for this one was strong); 'Jack Ripper' (sounds interesting!); and I've also eyed Sally's series for a while now. Alas, I haven't read them. Another series to add to my someday TBR. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Finding Wonderland, Lauren.
You should definitely bump them up your tbr! :)
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog as well, Rissi!
Hope you enjoy all your reads :)
ReplyDeleteThis Savage Song sounds great, and the Sally Green books are on my TBR but I've not read any of them yet.
Thanks! I hope you can try them out soon - Green is wonderful!
DeleteI'm currently reading Heartless and enjoying it so far. I hope you will too! And beware of the plot twist in Three Dark Crowns. It's mind-blowing!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
Good to know! I can't wait to get to that twist!
DeleteThanks for visiting!
Oh man, you're in for a lot of good reading! I've read six of these and most are so, so good. Especially This Savage and The Diabolic. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yay!!
DeleteI forgot all about The Diabolic and Stalking Jack the Ripper. I need to get to those ones as well. Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteSoon! Thanks for visiting, Barb!
DeleteStalking Jack the Ripper looks really promising. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
ReplyDeleteIt really does!
DeleteThanks for doing the same, Brenda. :)
Almost all of these are still sitting on my TBR, too, but I haven't read any of them. It's so hard to keep up with all of the lovelies that get released every single week. Hope you love them all!
ReplyDeleteI know, right! Good luck. :)
DeleteLoved Three Dark Crowns and am hoping to read Iron Cast as some point too!
ReplyDeleteCool! I hope you'll enjoy Iron Cast!
DeleteThis Savage Song was on my list this week too. I really liked Heartless when I read it, I hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2017/03/15/top-ten-tuesday-98/
Thanks! Fingers crossed!
DeleteOh, Iron Cross is one I have wanted since hearing about it. I read the first book of Sally Green's series and like it but never got around to continuing on.
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll both get to Iron Cast soon! And finishing up Sally Green's series as well. :)
DeleteI hope you love these! I still need to read The Midnight Star too!
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
Thanks for sharing, Tracy!
DeleteAwesome list! I'm also excited for Heartless!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my TTT!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
It's going to be great! :)
DeleteSO many good books on this list!!! I highly recommend The Diabolic, A Torch Against the Night and Three Dark Crowns :D Also I REALLY want to read Heartless.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recs! :)
DeleteI really need to read The Midnight Star asap. Stalking Jack the Ripper was one of my favorite books last year, and I was very pleasantly surprised by A Torch Against the Night (love, love, love Helene). I hope you enjoy your spring reads. Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my TTT earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that about Stalking Jack the Ripper! Thanks for visiting my blog as well Petra. :)
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these minus Half Lost, from one of my favourite series ever! I know you have good taste because of that alone lol. I absolutely adore Sally Green, and the first in the series (Half Bad right?) was so good that when I think back on it I remember scenes I kind of imagined in my mind whilst reading it, the writing was so good and vivid and everything. Have you read East of the Sun before? I read it recently thinking it would be a bit crap but ohmygod I adored everything in it! You might like it too?
ReplyDeleteAmy;
my latest post
Clearly great minds think alike! :)
DeleteI just happened to win a copy of Half Bad and I was so impressed with it.
I haven't tried East of the Sun, but I think I'll have to look into it.
Thanks for visiting, Amy!
