Top Ten Tuesday Forty Three

Top Ten Books on my Spring TBR

Top ten tuesday is a weekly feature/ meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish.  This weeks topic was one that actually saved me a blog post as I was planning on posting my Spring TBR up on sunday anyway, so when I saw that this was the top ten I knew that there was no point in doing two separate posts for the same thing.  And so, here is are some of the books I am hoping to read in the next few months - enjoy! 


1) Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo - Ever since I read Shadow and Bone at the end of the last year, I have been desperately waiting to read the sequel, and so I am finally giving in this month.  Although I usually like to wait a while between sequels, I honestly can't wait to pick up this second installment and to dive deeper into the Grisha World.    

2) City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - Another book in a series here, and one I am determined to finish this year at last, as I'm pretty sure I first started this series two years ago now.  The recent TV show adaptation, Shadowhunters, has also got me majorly back in the mood to read these and find out what happens to these characters I know and love.  

3) and Prejudice by Jane Austen - Now, I am attempting to continue on with my goal to read more classics by picking up this one as soon as possible.  Although I really enjoyed Wuthering Heights, I have to admit that I'm more excited to read this one as so many people love it and I have heard such good things about it that I can't wait to see what it is all about! 


4) The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich -  I feel as though I haven't read a horror for so long now that I am in desperate need of one, and so I decided that this would be the one to pick up.  This is the oldest one on my shelf but also one I am really looking forward to reading as has such a unique format that I can't wait to get into, so hopefully it will satisfy my craving for a good old creepy story. 

5) Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler - I can't even remember when I first picked this one up, as it has been sitting on my shelf for so long now.  I am determined to read this one in the next couple of months at last, as I'm scared if I don't I may lose interest in this if it sits there too much longer.  Plus its another with a different format to usual books - I think it's safe to say I'm a sucker for those type of books.  


6) Me, Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews - Ever since the film came out last year, I have been interested in this one, and yet it is still sitting in my unread pile.  I really intrigued by this one as I'm pretty sure it takes more of a humorous approach to such a serious subject, and so I'm interested to see what this one's like.  

7) The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins - This is actually my current read but I still decided to place this on here as it was technically on my spring TBR beforehand.  I'm really looking forward to getting into this one as I haven't read many good thrillers and so I'm hoping this one will live up the hype! 

8) Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein - Finally, this was actually on my TBR for winter, and has been one I've been wanting to read for a while now.  I am really hoping that I can finally motivate myself to read this, otherwise you might see this popping up on my summer TBR too! 

What books are you hoping to read in Spring?

  1. I hope you enjoy finishing the rest of The Mortal Instruments series. Definitely read The Infernal Devices if you haven't yet. I LOVE that series. It's one of my favorite series of all time.

  2. Hope you enjoy Pride and Prejudice, Alice. I'm terrible with classics (don't really read them despite trying), but the films/miniseries are among my most favorite cinema. Really, anything Austen is! :)

    Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland.

    1. Thanks, I'm also so bad with classics, but attempting to read some more this year. I still have to watch some of the adaptations, but hopefully if I enjoy it I can very soon!

    1. Thanks! I've had it for a while now so I really should get round to reading it, especially as there is now also a movie. Hope you enjoy it if you read it!

  4. AAAAH! You should 1000000% read Siege and Storm soon! The Dead House is a bit out there, and I didn't like it all that much, but it was still definitely worth a read.

    Great post, and have a lovely week.

    1. I can't wait to read it, so much so that it might be the next one I pick up cause I just need to continue on! The Dead House is one I've heard mixed views about, so I'll have to just wait and see!
      Thanks and hope you have a good week too :)
