Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 Books You Recently Added to Your TBR List

As readers, it's our destiny to have a long list of books in our TBR pile. It's totally mundane and practical, since we read like we devour our food! But today's TTT consists of the books I recently just added to my TBR list, and that I plan to read in the coming month or so.. Perhaps I won't even get to them and they'll just be sitting in my shelf for another 2 years, who knows? 

1. Stay With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I'm a sucker for Jennifer L. Armentrout books, what can I say! I've read most of her series by now and this is like one of them I still haven't started yet, which makes me ashamed because if I'm obsessed with her, I have to know her books! But yeah, check her out if you haven't already. With every book that she writes, new worlds are created and let's not forget, extremely hot guys! 

2. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

This series has been talked about nonstop, and I also bought them at a book convention. So if you really think about it, they were a buck for my bang! The cover does look a bit intimidating but I've heard the story is so much more than it seems and there was just a bad cover artist xD. 

3. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton

Such a strange book (hence the title)! I was intrigued by this book when my favorite Booktuber spoke highly of it. The cover brings me to my knees and well, let's just say, there aren't too many books with weird titles that I actually like. 

4. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Victoria Schwab has been on my TBR list since I could last remember, and since this new book is getting all the hype these days, I really need to read it and get on it soon! A story about parallel Londons? I NEED THIS BOOK NOW! 

5. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

This sounds like such an intriguing novel and a lot of famous Booktubers have been owning and loving this book. I don't know much about it and I would kind of like to keep it that way since I heard it was a psychological thriller. I prefer going into those not knowing much about them in the first place 

6. Bone Gap by Laura Ruby 

Fine.. maybe I did buy this book 70% because of the cover and how much it reminded me of my blog. But the cover aside, I heard that this was a new debut novel and it wouldn't hurt to give it a try! 

7. Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

The Little Book Owl on Youtube had such a great connection with this historical fiction book. HF isn't my genre but it would be so rude not to try something that she definitely enjoyed, since I worship her. 

8. Everything That Makes You by Moriah McStay

The cover speaks for itself :P 

9. Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Most of the books on this list come highly recommended by Booktubers on Youtube. Kassidy from Kassidy Voinche just started this series and says that it's one of the best fantasy series she's come across. 

10. Confess by Colleen Hoover 

My goal for 2015 is to read at least 3 Colleen Hoover books since I'm slowly transitioning out of the fantasy genre and into the YA/NA contemporary genre. Colleen Hoover is a great author to start with!

Top Ten Tuesdays: Top 10 Books From My Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit

Top Ten Tuesdays is a feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish where it features your top ten choices for that category of the week. Today's topic is Top 10 Books from my childhood that I would like to revisit. 

1. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I read the Percy Jackson series way way back in my early years of elementary school, and I'm pretty sure if I had the time I would just indulge this series all over again. Percy is one of my favorite characters of all time, and I really miss him! I would definitely love to revisit the romance between Percabeth. 

2. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead 

When You Reach Me was such a revolutionary novel that changed the course of my elementary school life. When you read Rebecca's writing, it has such substance and such emotion that I lingered onto this book long after I read it. It's such a great and emotional story that I had a pleasure in reading and regardless if you're a teen YA or NA reader, you must check out this book! 

3. Coraline by Neil Gaiman 

Coraline was one of my favorite horror stories growing up and really freaked me out at the time. I'm honestly not old enough to say that Goosebumps was my favorite middle grade series but Coraline was definitely a book I remember reading and loving. 

4. The Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch

Okay literally the best series ever and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Finished the entire series as a kid and waited for each one to come out. I can tell you now that I've read these books so many times that I've grown accustomed to spelling the author's ridiculously long name. 

5. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

If you're looking for the perfect mix of a bit of Asian history and adventure, this is definitely the book to be checking out regardless of what genre you specifically read. It's a great book and such an awesome reminder of my Asian heritage in my library. 

6. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

We can all admit that in our lives, we've all read Diary of a Wimpy Kid at least once! I remember when these books were like the most highly anticipated things on the shelves and most of my friends who hated reading would wait for the next one to hit the shelves. 

7. Confetti Girl by Diana Lopez 

Highly recommended for teenagers! This totally got me in and around middle school growing up because of how quirky and relatable the main character was to my personality. The cover, I think, is also the most adorable thing I've yet to see on a middle grade/teen YA book. 

8. The BFG by Roald Dahl 

Roald Dahl was the biggest thing growing up! I have exalted him for creating such fun and creative stories with his characters and imagination. THE BFG, also known as the big friendly giant, is a book about two people who come from very different worlds and are different sizes. It's a great read! 

9. Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson 

Love her. Absolutely love her. Laurie Halse Anderson has won so many literary awards that if you haven't read her books by now, I don't know what you're doing xD. Her books are unique because she speaks from a perspective where not too many people are familiar with. If you're looking for something a little different, check this one out! 

10. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick 

I was pulled into this book because of the hype and the fact that Chloe Grace Moretz was starring in the movie as the female protag. All readers should, sometime in their lifetime, read this book. A great mix of both pictures and words.
