Top Ten Books on My Spring TBR List

8a00a-toptentuesday

Another Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and the Bookish!  My TBR list is always growing and changing, and I have TONS on my list right now. These 10 really are just a sampling. I’d LOVE to hear some of the ones on your list right now.

1.  Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch #1), by Ann Leckie.  I’m actually already on this book and LOVING it. Gender identity? Sci-Fi? Complex social issues? Check, Check, and Check!

2.  Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2), by Brandon Sanderson.  I started this when it came out a year ago and just set it aside without finishing. It’s definitely time to catch up, especially since Sanderson just can’t go wrong.

3.  Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles #3.5), by Marissa Meyer.  Such a great YA series! I’ve been waiting for this book for over a year.

4.  The Glass Arrow, by Kristen Simmons.  Dystopian feminist fantasy? Yes. Also, the author owns greyhounds, so must…support (yes we’re a cult, so what!).

5.  Saga, Vol #4, by Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples.  I’ve been loving this series so far.  You can’t go wrong with Vaughn!

6.  Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1), by Susan Ee.  This series was just recommended to me by nettan-the road so far. I couldn’t resist the description…this will happen soon!

7.  While Beauty Slept, by Elizabeth Blackwell.  I’m a sucker for retelling fairytales, and this one sounds very well done. Plus, I have an autographed copy from ALA. WOOOOO!!!

8.  Silver in the Blood, by Jessica Day George. Another advanced reading copy from ALA. This one doesn’t come out until July, but it looks great!

9.  What is Remembered, by Alice B. Toklas.  A coworker who shares my love of reading, modernism, and the expats living in Paris, gave me this for Christmas. Toklas…Gertrude Stein..what’s not to love?

10.  The Secret Place (Dublin Murder Squad #5), by Tana French.  I’m not usually into murder mysteries, but Tana French has a way of creating wonderful stories with well developed characters. My dad and I have bounded over Tana French, and he gave me the newest in the series for Christmas.

    Fairest! Yes! I just read and reviewed this one like a month ago and I LOVED IT. It makes you *hate* Levana so much, but you see what’s going on inside her head…I’m very excited for you to read it! Great list!

    • I can’t WAIT to read Fairest! About the only reason I haven’t done so yet is because I took so long to go down to our neighborhood bookstore to buy it. I need to finish one for my book club and then Fairest is next!

    • Glad to hear it! To my extreme shame, I’ve had it for a few months without opening it. The Secret Place was a Christmas gift from my dad. I got him hooked on French, so now we’re constantly buying each other the books.

      • I know what you mean (except I have yet to convince anyone else to read her – people are crazy) I had to take a break before Faithful Place. And having picked it up now, I’m glad I did. I needed a break from how heavy her books can be.

      • Exactly! I always need a break in between her books. After Book #1, I wasn’t sure I could read her again. It was an intense reaction. To me, it just solidifies the quality of her writing.
