Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where we make lists of bookish things!
This week's topic is all about our spring TBRs! First of all, IT'S SPRING!!! Yesterday it was almost 70 degrees here and it was magical! I am so ready for warm weather, beach time and reading outside! There are a lot of good books coming out this spring. And there are a lot that I want to get to. But for this list, I decided to focus on the ARCs/egalleys I'm hoping to get read over the next couple months. Hopefully I'll work in some older books too that I've been wanting to read for forever!

The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Gray - An ancient race of people living beneath New York City with feathers for hair and magic abilities.
Illusionarium by Heather Dixon - Alternate London, desperate scientists. Sounds like it may be creepy and most definitely awesome.
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley - Above the clouds is a world of trading ships. I'm thinking pirates in the sky?
Making Pretty by Corey Ann Haydu - It's a sister story by Corey Ann Haydu. After loving Life By Committee, I can't wait to read this one!
Material Girls by Elaine Dimopoulos - A book about teens who run the fashion industry. I went to school for fashion merchandising and I am drooling over this book.
The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent - Shortage of souls. Corrupt church with scary black-robed exorcists.
Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton - Ballet dancers!! I love ballet related stories.
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia - A young girl battling schizophrenia.
Vanished by E.E. Cooper - A thriller that features a LBGTQ main character, promises of an intense psychological game.
Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt - First of all this series is called "Once Upon a Crime Family" which is awesome. Black market for organ transplants. Holy crap. Weird and sure to be intense.
What are you guys reading this spring?
Illusionarium sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!

It does doesn't it?? Creepy sciencey. You're welcome!
DeleteTiny Pretty Things sounds so amazing. I have an e-galley of Material Girls and an ARC of Hold Me Like a Breath, so I hope they're good!

Old Follower :)
Oooh so happy to hear that!! I'm so excited about it. I haven't read any of Rachel's books so this will probably be my first!
DeleteI picked contemporary books and Made You Up made my list. I just love unreliable narrators.
ReplyDeleteGirl at Midnight…I LOVED IT SO MUCH. Can't tell you how much I adored this book. Hope you do too!
Great list! ~Pam
Me too! They are so interesting to read about.
DeleteAhhh!! That makes me so happy! I can't wait to get to it! Soon!!
That's so exciting that it's started to warm up there! It has gotten milder here but than today, randomly, it starting snowing and is hella cold again. I love the winter but even I am growing slightly wearing of the relentless wind haha. So many of your tbr is on mine as well, there is so many awesome books coming up!!! Vanished, Made You Up & Tiny Pretty Things are high, high up on my tbr! The cover for The Girl at Midnight is soooooo pretty. Wow. I hope you get all your books read for the spring Rebecca :) (Love your TBR graphic, btw... adorable!!!)
ReplyDeleteUgh. I could never live in Canada. I can barely handle the winters here. Isn't the cover for Girl at Midnight gorgeous?? I love it!!
DeleteAhh thank you! I'm terrible at graphics so that totally made my day. :)
I've heard some great things about Material Girls and Magnoia! I'll have to check back to see what you thought! I really enjoyed your list...but now you've made mine a little longer :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Glad to hear that. I haven't read many reviews for any of these books so I'll be going into most of them blind. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing.
DeleteHold me like a breath! I think that one sounds so interesting. I didn't get a chance to do this TTT which makes me sad bc I love seasonal TBRs! So glad it's warming up there! We've been getting amaaaazing weather for the past month or so, it's crazy the amount of sun and nice weather we've gotten! Our tulips are already blooming! So happy it's spring :)
ReplyDeleteI know! It sounds so different! Seasonal TBRs are the best because I can organize all my books. :) Jealous of your awesome weather!! We had snow here on Friday. You know, the first day of spring...fml.
