Top Ten Books I HAD To Buy...
But Are Still Sitting On My Shelf Unread



As you can see, most of these books are the first in series -- and mostly dystopian or fantasy YA. It is so hard for me to start para, dystopian or fantasy series. I definitely gravitate toward contemporary. And yet, when I find a great series that is dystopian, fantasy or para, I get hooked. So I bought all of these, mostly as kindle deals, and have yet to read them! I haven't read The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden yet because I was so disappointed in Sorensen's other book The Secret of Ella and Micha.

  3. This is such a good list - I really need to read Mara Dyer, Grave Mercy, and Throne of Glass too. And I highly recommend Legend, The Diviners, and of course The Fault in our Stars - though bring tissues to that one!!

  4. Oooh, Jellicoe Road is amazing! It's one of my favorites now. I also want to read The Fault in Our Stars but I don't have a copy yet. Sucks, I know.

    Good luck with your list and happy reading!

  5. I have so many of these on my shelf, unread, too! Some of them not for very long though. The only one I've read is The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer which I read last year - I did buy the second book as a new release and I haven't read that yet! Would love to read Jellicoe Road - I keep buying Marchetta books (I must have at least five now!) but I still haven't read anything by her! Shameful I know. Legend and Throne of Glass are two more I just had to buy but haven't read yet. I recently got Grave Mercy, looking forward to reading it but when?? Same for The Diviners!

  6. Throne of Glass is amazing! I really recommend it. Legend is an ok dystopian novel but there are much better ones out there.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  14. The Fault in Our Stars was fabulous - the best possible introduction I could have had to John Green. He writes such wonderful characters!

  15. Grave Mercy was so good! And Maze Runner is action-packed fun. Plus it's going to be a movie. I want to read Legend, too. I'm a big fan of dystopian as well :)

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): ARC Greed

This discussion is inspired by my feelings lately when reading and reviewing ARCs versus the feelings I had when I requested those same ARCs: ARC GREED ARC greed -- have we all experienced this?  What I even mean by this term is that I sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at Netgalley and Edelweiss and  I sometimes over-request, if only because I can!  I get greedy when I see all the new and shiny ARCs available and I will sometimes request things that have even a hint of interest for me, not necessarily focusing only on those books that I really, really want.  The problem with this over-requesting and with getting greedy with requesting (and receiving) ARCs is when it comes time to read and review these ARCs.  Last month and this month, I have looked at my ARCs with a release date in each respective month and I just haven't wanted to read any of them.  I need to start asking myself -- If I was immediately approved for this ARC, would I read it right thi
