Top Ten Tuesday: The Very Top of my TBR Pile


This week's Top Ten Tuesday (hosted as always, by The Broke and the Bookish), we're talking our top ten books on the top of our TBR list for Spring 2013. 

I know for many bloggers this will be a lot of books that are coming out this spring. I'm a little OCD with my TBR list though; I almost always have to read things in the order that I added them to my list. The only exception of course, is that series must be read in order and don't have to be read back-to-back. You'll see a number of repeats on here from last week's series to read list. I didn't really get the series phenomenon until I started blogging, but I can't seem to stop now. 



      


1. Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruis Zafon - Shadow of the Wind is really holding me up at the moment. While it's a sweet, interesting story, I'm just not getting into it the way some people have. Although I have heard that it has a fantastic ending, so that might change yet!

2. Dark Lover by J.R. Ward -  I know, I knowwww. This is going to take me forever, the series is crazy long! I'm hoping I love it so it can last forever.

3. Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff

4. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

5. Graceling by Kristin Cashore


    
 

6. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

7. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

8. Requiem by Lauren Oliver - I know so many of you have already read this even though it was just released, but my OCD tendencies say it's gonna have to wait it's turn.

9. In the Woods Tana French - gotta mix it up with some adult contemporary fiction.

10. City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare - reading for the series challenge, since I started reading The Mortal Instruments last year as part of my read the books being turned into movies crusade.

What are your top reads this spring?
Anything you think I should break my rules for and bump up?

Share your TTT or a link in the comments so I can scope out new recs!

  4. I'm totally not going to even name the books from your list that I love as it's such a fantastic list and most if not all are books that I would want to add to my shelf :D

  7. Graceling is great - but Fire is so much better. :)

    And as for Shadow of the Wind? It's definitely a "thinking" read - I adored it because the prose was so beautiful and intentional. And it's totally worth the ending. Sigh. I loved that one. And it has a sequel now, so that's on my list soon!

  9. I really want to start the Delirium series. It sounds like a really great series. I still haven't seen the books in the bookstores, so I might have to order them. :)
    Anywhoo, enjoy the books you want to read.

  10. LOL. Mr. Darcy all the way! No one can compete with him. I think I saw that phrase on T-shrit or something.

    Anyway, I loved Paper Valentine! I hope you do to. I also need to read Shadow and Bone. I picked up a copy a week ago, so hopefully I get to it soon. I've not been in the mood for high fantasy lately, though.

    Happy reading :)

  11. I have still not read Dark Lover yet. It's been on the top of my list for years but always gets bumped for something else. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.

  15. I totally want to read more Tana French. I started with Broken Harbor last summer, and it was a lot of fun.

  16. I have yet to read Clockwork Angel, too and I also have This Dark Endeavor on my to-read list somewhere. You should read Frankenstein, it is a great, great book. I love it. I haven;t come across The Red Queen and Bloodlands before but they look interesting.

    I so have to read Paper Valentine, Shadow and Bone and Daughter of Smoke and Bone myself. I read City of Ashes and sometimes I itch to start reading City of Glass and I will have to soon.

    Here's my Top Ten Tuesday post!

    1. I totally messed up here, the first paragraph belongs to another post and as my internet decided to freeze up on me, I had to copy it to be on the safe side.
