Top Ten Tuesday: 2015 Releases I Wish I Got To (but didn't :<)

Hello lovelies! Top Ten Tuesday is a feature and link-up started by The Broke and the Bookish. Since I didn't really have a lot of time to read last year, I of course have a ton of books I wanted to read in 2015 that I never got to read in 2015. So let's take a look...

Queen of Shadows by Sara J. Mass

I recently got into the Throne of Glass series and now I'm awaiting Queen of Shadows to come into my possession. I can't wait to continue on reading. What happens to Rowan? What happens to Celaena? To Dorian? WHAT HAPPENS?

Winter by Marissa Meyer

The ending to the Lunar Chronicles. I must have this. I haven't been able to purchase it, but I need to know how everything ends. Do Cress and Thorne become happy with each other? Because that's really all I care about. I want Cress and Thorne to be happy.

Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes

I read the excerpt for this on my Kindle and even though I didn't like how rushed it felt to get into the conflict of the book, I was still really curious to see how the story unfolds. I'm hoping to get my hands on a copy of this asap.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Same thing. Read the excerpt, loved it and now I'm waiting to see what happens because I must know. The concept seems really interesting and the type of magic is right up my alley!

A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

I've heard amazing things about this and I love books that have magic and even better if they're books with a dark side of magic. I must have and I must read.

Fans of the Impossible Life by Kate Scelsa

I read the excerpt for this and I was really interested. It kind of felt a bit of "we are different than normal teens" but I still wanted to read the story.

Shutter by Courtney Alameda

I remember getting really psyched about this book when it came out last year, but again I wasn't able to get it. Maybe I'll finally be able to get my hands on a copy this year.

I know that's not ten, but these are the books I remember being super excited for. Perhaps there are more that I'm missing, but it's been a crazy 2015.

Some people think it's overhyped, but I was so gone from the blogging community that I didn't really see the hype surrounding it. I just remember really liking the excerpt Epic Reads brought out for it.

Winter is on my list this week too. I actually have to read Cress before I read it. I'm so intimidated by the size of the book!

OMG don't be! I've read books that are a lot longer and not as exciting, trust me. Take it as a challenge and power through it! It'll feel amazing once you accomplish it!

I haven't gotten into the ToG or LC series yet, but I've heard good things! I didn't really like ACOTAR though, so that makes me a little hesitant to pick up ToG. I'm definitely intrigued by the LC though! I also really want to get to ADSM! I've heard such good things and the sequel is coming out soon! Eep! Gotta get on it :P

I haven't read ACOTAR but ToG is definitely my kind of series. I love seeing badass female characters esp those that are assassins. My DnD character is actually a really funny ranger and she can really do some damage if I feel like it. It probably is a lot of self projection of my own character, but ugh I love that. I think they're two different takes on fantasy, so idk maybe you'll take it to your liking more? If you have Scribd they have the first three books for free so at least you won't feel bummed if you put out a few bucks.

I will echo what I have said in all of these posts, you NEED to read A Darker Shade of Magic. So action packed, fun, full of witty banter and so much shippy potential. All my favourites basically! I also loved Queen of Shadows so very much, it and HoF are my favourite SJM to date!

I heard witty banter and I'm already hooked. Witty banter is my weakness next to badass characters. OMG HoF was a lot harder to read, personally, but it's definitely my favorite. There's so much character development for Dorian and Celaena. I love it. I especially connected to it because of all the grief Celaena was harboring. I can't wait to pick up QoS.

Shutter looks scary! I wonder if its the same as that Asian movie? maybe just a similar title. I just finished Red Queen, it's pretty good :D Everyone loves ADSOM so I will also suggest that one, though I haven't finished it yet XD

OH I know which horror movie you're talking about! They made an American adaptation a while ago but I heard the original Thai version is leagues scarier. Asian movies tend to be a lot scarier imo. I've heard great things about ADSOM and I really love magic (I rave about it in any book with magic). I can't wait to pick it up!
