THIS TOPIC IS HARD. I mean, narrow this down to TEN? Fine. I will. But I will also mention the two 2015 books I’ve already read and gave 5 oranges each. So. Deal with it.With Covers
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Inspired by Beauty and the Beast, pretty much one of my favorite fairy tales, and just, it’s SARAH J. MAAS OKAY? That should be reason enough. I glare daggers at everyone with ARCs of this. Do not even mention it to me if you do. *cries*
2. The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West
FAKE RELATIONSHIP. KASIE WEST. THAT COVER. I NEEEEEEED IT.
3. The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
THIS COVER. ALSO YA DA VINCI CODE. I NEEEEEED IT.
4. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
Crossdressing thieves, pirates, parallel worlds, magic, London, Jack Harkness-esque character… To risk sounding incredibly repetitive, I neeeeeeed this.
5. The Vanishing Throne by Elizabeth May
asdfjkl; that freaking cliffhanger… I need to know. I need to. KIARANNNN.
No Covers Yet *cries*
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SERIES IS ENDING. It’s seriously so amazing, so if you haven’t started it yet, do ittttttt.
7. Throne of Glass #4 by Sarah J. Maas
Obviously.
8. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Jay Kristoff has been a cruel teasy tease about this new series for ages, and I’m SO INTRIGUED. It’s apparently going to be a revolutionary kind of storytelling and wellllllll knowing how much I loved Stormdancer and These Broken Stars, I have faith in these authors to deliver on that.
9. Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger
A COMPANION NOVEL TO The DUFF, Shut Out, AND A Midsummer’s Nightmare. ALSO IT’S FREAKING KODY KEPLINGER. DUHHHH.
10. The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Since I got into the Marvel universe this summer, I’ve been sooooo much more intrigued about Norse mythology. I see its links and influences in a bunch of things, but I have very little knowledge about it. Also, it’s UNCLE RICK. Duh. (God I sound so freaking repetitive in this list.)
+ Two Books That Should Be On YOUR List
The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon
This book was just plain amazinggggg, okay? I regret nothing about reading it three months in advance. Nothing. This series is turning out to be one of my absolute favorites – so read my review of The Bone Season and get in on this – knowing that The Mime Order is even freaking better.
When Joss Met Matt by Ellie Cahill
Liz Czukas’s new adult debut is absolutely AWESOME. It’s soooo banterfluff-y, with lots of sex – without being excessive (it’s not actually that graphic). It’s the best kind of friends-with-benefits story and TOTALLY ADDICTIVE. So yeah.
Yessssssssssssssssssss THE CONSPIRACY OF US yesssssssssssssssssssssss Maggie is my CP and that book is So. Good. <3
GOSH DAHLIA MAKE ME MORE JEALOUS WHY DON’T YOU.
(jk♥ilubai)
I can’t believe I forgot about A Court of Thorns and Roses *wails* (Dat cover tho)
I have Winter and Throne of Glass #4 on my list too! And now I’m thinking maybe I should give The Bone Season another try…
KODY KEPLINGER HAS A NEW BOOK?! WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS?! OMG! *hyperventilating* okay, okay, I’m calm. But now I need the book right now! Aaahh!!!
My Top 10^^
PS: LOVING your blog!!! I subscribed through Blogloving so looking forward to your posts! 😀
Awww, don’t feel too bad – it wasn’t announced until recently! Just a few months to go! 🙂
Thank you so much!
West and Maas are on my list too. Such great reads.
here’s my post
Thanks! I also have a $30 giveaway going on, so be sure to check that out.
I’M SO EXCITED FOR THE FILL-IN BOYFRIEND!!!! ANYTHING THAT IS KASIE WEST IS ON THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED LIST!! <33 I'm also curious of V. Schwab's new book! It sounds freakishly good!
Ooh I haven’t heard of The Conspiracy of Us but a YA Da Vinci Code has me sold.
A court of thorns and roses, I’m prepared to do almost everything to get this book in my hands, haha. Sarah Maas and my favorite fairytale combined? Hell yes. The conspiracy of us sounds really good too, I’m in love with the cover! And like you, I also like The DaVinci code, so I’m excited 😀 A darker shade of magic sounds so freaking good and I NEED The vanishing throne. The cliff-hanger was not okay.
Winter and TOG #4 are no-brainers, I think almost everyone is excited for those books <3 I also can't believe the Lunar Chronicles is almost ending, but at least we also have Fairest 😀
“FAKE RELATIONSHIP. KASIE WEST. THAT COVER. I NEEEEEEED IT.” – That was pretty much my reaction to hearing about The Fill-In Boyfriend. It just looks so freaking adorable.
I’m excited for The Sword of Summer, too, but sad because there will not be any Percy Jackson, and I just freaking love him.
So many great books!!! The Fill-In Boyfriend looks great!
I don’t think I paid enough attention to the synopsis of A Darker Shade of Magic, or else I’m sure it would have made my list as well. And of course the Sarah J Maas books are on my list as well!!
Here’s my TTT post.
Adding When Joss met Matt to my TBR! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂 I like when author’s don’t shy away from real life topics like FWB.
A Court of Thorns and Roses – DUH. Is that even a question anymore? I can’t even think about Winter – I’m so scared for it to end because what if it isn’t everything I’m hoping it to be?? On the other hand, I’m not concerned about The Sword of Summer at all. I know it’s going to be amazing 😉
Throne of Glass #4, Winter & A Court of Thorns & Roses are three books that I’m sooo excited for! I keep meaning to read the Bone Season but haven’t got around to it yet. I think I’m mostly daunted by the fact that it’s the first in a seven-book series & the second book will only just be released in a few weeks.
NOOOOO IT DELETED MY COMMENT 🙁 Let’s try again….
Basically your list is perfect and I definitely want 1-7 without a doubt. Fantasy, banter, and magic! Yes pleeeease! And I’m fascinated by Illuminae even though I haven’t read anything by those authors. Same with the Sword of Summer. Norse mythology sounds awesome!
awwwwwwwww 🙁 STUPID WEBSITE. NO MORE COMMENT EATING.
Heeeeeee glad we’re on the same page! YOU HAVEN’T READ RICK RIORDAN THOUGH??? You need to fix this, lady.
I know, I know! I read The Lightening Thief years ago and thought it was ok, a little young. But I hear the series really improves and I’ve been wanting to try it again! 😀
I’ve seen A Court of Thorns and Roses on quite a few lists today. I’m not familiar with the author’s writing (yet) but that story does look good.
I need some Kasie West in my life! It’s been so long since her last book. Although, I still need to read The Distance Between Us before her new book comes out. And more Sarah J. Maas! My life will be so great next year.
I know right! On the Fence feels like AGES ago, but that’s mostly because I majorly cheated and read it in MARCH. Hopefully that means The Fill-In Boyfriend will be up on Edelweiss soon though! And yessssssssssss The Distance Between Us. Read it. The feels. THE FEELS.
WINTER! WINTER!!! *dying dying dying*
I’m most excited about A Court of Thorns and Roses! Just look at that gorgeous cover! 😀
