Top Ten Tuesday

September 4, 2012

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. The Top Ten topic this week is:  Top Ten Books On Your Fall TBR List

My Fall TBR list is rather extensive and it was a little painful to choose my Top Ten books. But I put on my big girl pants and started cutting titles. Here are the last books standing aka my Top Ten. 🙂

Click on the book covers for Goodread links.

 

1. The Stormdancer – Jay Kristoff 

The author has described this book as “telepathic samurai girls & griffins in steampunk feudal Japan”. I’m sold!

2. Cast in Peril – Michelle Sagara

I’m always super excited for the latest entry in Michelle Sagara’s Chronicles of Elantra. This year is no different and I duly pre-ordered this title months ago.

3. Full Blooded – Amanda Carlson

Good werewolf stories have been scarce lately so I’m pretty keen for Full Blooded. I really hope it’s good. Initial reviews seem to be positive.

4. The Shadow Society – Marie Rutkoski

A girl from an alternate world. My Fringe loving heart is convinced.

5. Days of Blood and Starlight – Laini Taylor

The sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone is released in November. Like most of the YA reading planet, I really enjoyed Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Many of the ideas in the story were just so clever, the writing was brilliant and I simply could not predict what would happen next. Eager for more of the same.

6. The Shattered Dark – Sandy Williams

Loved The Shadow Reader and the kick ass heroine so I’m pretty excited for the sequel.

7. Falling to Ash – Karen Mahoney

The cover is beautiful and I’m intrigued by the story of a newly made vampire caught between her strict Irish-Catholic Dad and her over-protective maker, Theo.

8. Fury’s Kiss – Karen Chance

Fury’s Kiss is the third title in the Dorina Basarab series. The main character Dory is my favourite of Karen Chance’s heroines. I love the world and the fun characters that inhabit it.

9. Crewel – Gennifer Albin

Dystopian and Time Travel plus an awkward girl hiding her gifts. I’m in 🙂

10. Tempting the Bride – Sherry Thomas

Huge Sherry Thomas fan so naturally I’m awaiting this one with baited breath. And I love stories where the hero is already hooked and has to convince the heroine.

    I am thinking about Stormdancer – everyone is reading it and LOVING it but I’m just not sure if it’s my thing. I’ll probably end up giving it a go though!

    Looks like a lot of people are looking forward to Crewel!! I know I am 🙂
    I’m really intrigued by Shadow Society as well.
    Great list!

    Thanks for putting The Shadow Society and Falling to Ash on my radar!

    Crewel is one I’m eager to read too! I also really like the look of Stormdancer. Great list 🙂

    Crewel! I love Time Travel! Excited to see this one!

    Crewel is quite popular today! Stormdancer sounds the most enticing though.

    I keep hearing great things about Stormdancer. Can’t wait to get my hands on that one. Falling to Ash does have a lovely cover! And the story is intriguing. I’ll have to add that one to my list as well.

      After compiling my Top Ten Tuesday list, I was inspired to head to my local bookshop in the hope of an early copy of Stromdancer. No such luck 😦

    The Shadow Society does look pretty cool. Also can’t wait to read Stormdancer and Crewel. Hope all your fall books are winners!

    Ahhh Days of Blood and Starlight! I love Daughter of Smoke and Bone so much. I can’t wait to read the sequel! 😀

    So many great picks! I am nearly done with Daughter of Smoke and Bone and so excited I won’t have to wait long for the sequel! I am also excited for Stormdancer and Crewel. And I need to look more into The Shadow Society, it sounds fascinating.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I haven’t read Daughter of Smoke and Bone – I didn’t even know the sequel was coming in November. Some of your other books look really great too.

    Hey thanks for stopping by my blog :). That’s such a great list ! I can’t wait to read Stormdancer and Crewel too 😀 !

    I’m not generally into vampire stories, but the cover of Falling to Ash is beautiful.
