Top Ten Books on my Spring 2014 TBR | #TopTenTuesday

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is the books that are sitting at the top of our Spring TBR pile. It could be wishlist books that are coming out in Spring that you really want to get your hands on, or books that you've been meaning to tackle and are determined to read this Spring. I went with the books that are at the top of my pile to read, like, yeterday, so most of mine are coming out in Spring or Summer, and are on my TBR as review books or for Fairy Tale Fortnight.

Okay, so I cheated and gave you 10 physical TBR books and a bonus ebook, because more books is always better, right? I mean, I kinda had to, as that "bonus" book is my most highly anticipated book of Spring, and it's sitting pretty in my phone waiting for me to read it as we "speak"... Hot damn, I can't tell you how tempting it is to disregard everything else I'm supposed to be doing right now, and just dive into Dreams of Gods and Monsters...

So here are my Top Ten Books on my Spring 2014 TBR! Check it out, let me know what you think, and then tell me some of yours in the comments!



From the top (except DoGaM, which is on the top of the pile figuratively, if not literally)
  1. Dreams of Gods and Monsters | Laini Taylor
    Why: Because. Laini. Taylor.
  2. The Summer Invitation | Charlotte Silver
    Why: Nostalgic feel, has summer in the title. Might be wishfulness on my part, but SUMMMMMER.
  3. Titan Magic: Body & Soul | Jodi Lamm
    Why: Lurved Titan Magic (book 1) something fierce.
  4. One Man Guy | Michael Barakiva
    Why: It sounds so cute and romanciful! Sometimes my shriveled little heart craves that.
  5. Stolen Songbird | Danielle L. Jensen
    Why:  TROLLS, Y'ALL.
  6. Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy | Karen Foxlee
    Why:  It's a retelling of the Snow Queen, which I almost typed "Snot Queen," which is not a story I want to read, ever. Nobody write that.
  7. The Kiss of Deception | Mary E. Pearson
    Why:  I mean... the real question is, why not? This book sounds AWESOME.
  8. The Truth About Alice | Jennifer Mathieu
    Why: This topic pushes a button for me, and I think I'm going to be very engaged.
  9. My Last Kiss | Bethany Neal
    Why: I love after-death thrillers like this, plus Bethany is a Michigander!
  10. This One Summer | Mariko & Jillian Tamaki
    Why: Jillian Tamaki's art.
  11. Love Letters to the Dead | Ava Dellaira
    Why: Comparisons to The Perks of Being a Wallflower are enough to sell me.
Of course, there are many, many more books on my TBR, and new ones are always being added. But these are the books that I'm most excited to read, and will read the soonest.
Any of these calling your name, or in your Spring TBR pile?

  5. I am going to try Laini Taylor again this year. I didn't love her my first-go round and think I was in a bad reading mood! I considered adding STOLEN SONGBIRD, but I didn't want to add any FTF titles. Ooh, can I read about teh Snot Queen? AWESOME ;) THE KISS OF DECEPTION...oh, Misty, YES. It blew up my brain this weekend. I CAN'T EVEN!!! I have MY LAST KISS and LOVE LETTERS to read as well...LOVE LETTERS made it onto my list! <3

  6. Great picks! I am dying to read quite a few of these and have serious book envy right now! I am especially desperate to read Love Letters to the Dead, The Kiss of Deception and Stolen Songbird. I hope you find the time to get to them all :) My TTT.
