Top Ten Tuesday is hosted at The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic is Top Ten Books I Really Want To Read But Don't Own Yet. I wasn't sure I could come up with ten. I really shouldn't have come up with ten; my TBR pile is big enough to keep me going for ages, without adding more books that I want to read:
All Our Yesterdays
by Cristin Terrill - I actually do own this one... but as an audiobook. I think I'd prefer to read it, though. So that's why it made the list. 
A Dream of Lights
by Kerry Drewery - I can count the number of novels I've read with North Korea as a setting on one hand. This one looks really good.
The Here and Now
by Ann Brashares - Time travel... yay! I really enjoyed this author's novel about reincarnation, My Name Is Memory. I'm hoping this one will be just as good.
The Islands of Chaldea
by Diana Wynne Jones - The final novel from a master of storytelling,
completed by her sister, Ursula. I'm curious about this one...
The Kiss of Deception
by Mary E. Pearson - I really enjoyed The Adoration of Jenna Fox by the same author. This book looks like it has an interesting plot... and I've read some very positive reviews!
Liesl & Po
by Lauren Oliver - I've been wanting to read something else by Lauren Oliver ever since I read -- and loved -- Before I Fall.
A Snicker of Magic
by Natalie Lloyd - This one looks really cute. And I love the title!
A Thousand Pieces of You
by Claudia Gray - A love story that transcends universes. Sounds like a good one!
Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling
by Lucy Frank - Another verse novel! I love these things... but
they're not that easy to find. When I hear about one that looks
interesting, it goes on my to-read list.
Under the Light
by Laura Whitcomb - I've been wanting to read this one ever since I heard it was coming out. The first book, A Certain Slant of Light, is one of my favourite YA titles.
What are some books that you really want to read but don't own yet?
A few of these are on my TBR list already but most I haven't heard of yet. My tbr is never going to stop growing if I continue going through the posts today.
ReplyDeleteI know... I'm having the same problem! So many of the books on people's lists are new to me. I don't need any more books on my wish list!
DeleteI've never heard of most of these books :p I have The Kiss of Deception on my wishlist too :) And All Our Yesterdays is amazing!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI've heard those two books are particularly good. I can't wait to get a chance to read them!
DeleteTHE ISLANDS OF CHALDEA made my list today, too! And I can recommend LIESL & PO and THE HERE AND NOW - both solid reads. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear those two books are good. I haven't heard too much about Liesl & Po, but I love Lauren Oliver's writing, so I thought I might give that one a try.
DeleteI started listening to Liesl and Po but I wasn't in the mood for it so I put the audiobook on hold and haven't ever gotten back to it. I should should give it another try someday soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, one must be in the right mood for certain books. I started The Spindlers (also by Lauren Oliver) a few years ago, but never finished. There was nothing wrong with it; I just wasn't in the mood. One day I'll have to give it another shot.
DeleteI hadn't heard of A Dream of Lights before today but it sounds interesting. I like those kind of books. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Here and Now, The Kiss of Deception, A Thousand Pieces of You and Two Girls Staring At The Ceiling are all on my TBR list. I don't know if you already know but Ellen Hopkins has a book called "Rumble" out now.
Books besides my top ten, since you've already checked it out (<3), that I really want to read but don't own yet are:
Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill, On The Fence by Kasie West, What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick, My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson. I'll just stop there. Haha…
I hadn't heard of A Dream of Lights, either... until I saw it at the library. Its Goodreads rating seems really high! I hope that's not misleading.
DeleteJeez now I want to buy/read like every book on your list! =)
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! :)
DeleteThese look good! I especially like look of A Thousand Pieces of You, I hope it will be as good as Across the Universe by Beth Revis
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Across the Universe yet. I might have to look into that one...
