Top Ten Tuesday (123)

is a weekly feature created by The Broke and the Bookish.

This Tuesday's theme is...


This post has perfect timing, because next week I will be reading whatever the hell I want in a post-finals, pre-birthday celebration. But as I put this together, compiling a list of all the ARCs I have (seriously, expanding to books I don't have would make this list go on forever), I couldn't quite get it narrowed down to ten. I ended up going with ten books I plan on reading this spring--and I have them all, except for the last two, though the second to last one is on its way--and then doing a little bonus with the five books I hope to devour next week. But this spring is filled with a whole lot of books. A WHOLE LOT.


ARCS for Reviewing Pleasure

The Historical Binge
I read Code Name Verity last year and oh my gosh it was so good. This year, it's part of a reading challenge for one of my book clubs, so I need to reread it at some point, but I may try the audiobook. And since I have Black Dove, White Raven, and I need to read Rose Under the Fire, I may binge all three back to back. (I know, I know. THAT'S A VERY BAD IDEA.)

New Cotugno
I loved How to Love, and I am so excited to read a new book by Katie Cotugno.

Hearts, hearts, hearts!
I have an obsession with anatomical hearts so I am EXCITED for this one.

ROMEEE in a Book
I've heard pretty darn good things about this and I'm super intrigued by the setting.

Feather. Haired. People.
The people have feathered hair FEATHERED HAIR HOW COOL IS THAT?

A Sci-Fi Sequel
I'm a big Kimberly Derting fan and oh, dear gosh, what will happen after The Taking?

Farewell, Merry Characters
Scarlet was such a good book. And while Lady Thief wasn't my favorite it still packed on the feels this series has. So this will be a big, fat heart breaker.

The Character with No Hands
Oh, this sounds deliciously dark.


Books Not Yet in My Possession


Hello, Pretty Cover
PRETTY COVER, I believe an ARC is on its way to me and maybe I should just frame it.

WELCOME BACK, SERIES
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW.


Bonus: Next Week's TBR!

I Need to Read You
The Girl of Fire and Thorns was excellent and I am so, so excited to read this.

Assassins and Murder
Very much enjoyed Grave Mercy and am eager to see where the story goes.

Beauty, the Beast, and New Adult
No explanation necessary.

Eep, New Dessen!
Oops, I still need to read The Moon and More.

This-Should-Not-be-the-
Series-Finale Series Finale
Oh, how bittersweet this will be, especially when THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE LIKE FIVE BOOKS WHY ONLY THREE?

What are you reading this spring?

  1. We have the exact same outlook on Lion Heart! I hope this book is better than the second book in the series, because I really did like Scarlet and Rob.

  10. I have yet to read Code Name Verity. I have heard some great things about it.
    An Ember in Ashes sounds like it could be completely amazing as it is, after all, in ROME!!

    I also need to read Dark Triumph and hope to get to it soon. Its been too long since I've read about assassin nuns. I also need to finish Susan Ee's series...but I'm waiting for the 3rd book as I have issues with endings and so need to be able to dive right in. Lion Heart was break your heart amazing and I can't wait to see what Gaughen writes next.

  15. Rome in a book! I can't wait for An Ember in the Ashes. And Lion Heart! I loved both books so I'm scared/excited about the last one... The Water and the Wild, what a beautiful cover! Wow! The Selection is not my favorite series but oh my god is that dress cover gorgeous!!! CROWN OF EMBERS IS MY FAVORITE OF THAT SERIES. It's SO good Rachel! A Court of Thorns and Roses is my most anticipated title I'm excited to read this spring. Eep! Happy reading.

  21. We have a lot of books in common (because we both have excellent taste-lol). I cannot wait to read 99 Days, Saint Anything, Sacred Lies, and An Ember in the Ashes. I still need to read Code Verity and The Girl of Fire and Thorns although both are on my TBR lists somewhere. Fantastic list! I hope you love them all!
