Top Ten Tuesday (43): Top Ten Songs I Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Songs I Love…

This week’s list is a bit different. It has almost nothing to do with books, though sometimes I have these songs in the background when I’m reading so there’s that.

There’s no particular order to them. And I’ve included two Korean songs here. I love them all and I love everything about them. But most specially, the lyrics and music.

Top Ten Books on my Spring TBR List…

 

 

FLIRTING WITH FIRE by Kate Meader

I received my ARC last week and I’m so excited to read this one. It’s book 1 in Kate Meader’s new series.

 

 

DARK TRIUMPH by Robin LaFevers

I loved Book 1 so I can’t wait to read the second book featuring Sybella. And Beast.

 

 

 

 OF SILK AND STEAM by Bec McMaster

I admit that I have had the eARC of this since late last year and I really, really wanted to read it since it’s finally Leo’s story. Unfortunately, real life can get in the way of reading sometimes. I hope this spring would change that a bit.

 

 

SILVER BASTARD by Joanna Wylde

It’s a brand-new series from Joanna Wylde but it features a character we’ve already been introduced to in the previous book. Oh, Puck! I can’t wait to finish his story (since I already started reading my e-ARC).

 

CHASE ME by Tessa Bailey

Tessa Bailey’s New Adult series kicks off with Chase Me. Woohoo!

 

 

Top Ten Tuesday (41): Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2014

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2014…

 

 

MELINA MARCHETTA. This is a such a no-brainer. She’s one of the greatest author finds ever for me. These two books have become two of my favorite books of all time.

 

TAHEREH MAFI. I’ll never forget this author for bringing to life or to the pages Warner.

 

TARRYN FISHER. Gosh, this book. And though I haven’t read the other two books yet I can say, gosh, this whole series. Her writing and her characters will leave an indelible mark on you as a reader. Her story will stay with you long after you’ve turned that last page.

 

ELLE KENNEDY. Her kind of combustible romance and writing are just the perfect match to my romantic heart. She knows how to tell a story and she does it so very well.

 

TESSA BAILEY. Her Brazen Line novels are to die for. I love how she blends the sweet, the sexy, and the completely romantic.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (40): Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2015

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To In 2015…

 

VISION IN SILVER (The Others #3) by Anne Bishop. Murder of Crows just totally floored me so I am so ready to read the third book in this series. And I need more Simon and Meg!

 

SHARDS OF HOPE (Psy-Changeling #14) by Nalini Singh. Aden’s story, at last! And the closing book to this particular story arc of the Psy/Changeling series.

 

CRUSHED (Redemption #2) by Lauren Layne. Michael’s story! Lauren Layne did an awesome post about his book HERE. You guys should totally check it out.

 

FLIRTING WITH FIRE (Hot in Chicago #1) by Kate Meader. The first book in a new series from Kate Meader!

 

ONCE UPON A ROSE (La Vie en Roses #2) by Laura Florand. Give me more from Laura Florand. We can never have enough of her books.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (39): Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

So I decided to split my list to two with the first part consisting of new releases and the second part with those that have already been released and I’m dying to dive into.

Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR…

 

 

ONCE UPON A ROSE by Laura Florand. This has been a long time coming but I fully trust Laura Florand to bring her A-game every time so I didn’t mind the waiting.

 

THE LIBRARIAN PRINCIPLE by Helena Hunting. The premise for this one is so cute, funny, and super sexy so I can’t wait to read this.

 

SAY YES TO THE MARQUESS by Tessa Dare. More Tessa Dare is always good. I can’t wait for this second book in her newest series. I love the blurb and the fact that it’s from the POV of the hero.

 

I’LL MEET YOU THERE by Heather Demetrios. This will be my first from this author and I can’t wait. I love small town settings in books. The story sounds so promising.

 

ONE OF THE GUYS by Lisa Aldin. Oh this book has all these possibilities. I can’t wait to find out how it will all turn out.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (38): Top Ten Sequels I Can’t Wait To Get

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Sequels I Can’t Wait To Get…

 

THE WINNER’S CRIME (The Winner’s Curse #2) by Marie Rutkoski. This is a no-brainer. I’ve fallen head over heels with The Winner’s Curse and just reading the very short excerpt from Book #2 makes me want to read it more. And soon, please.

 

CRUSHED (Redemption #2) by Lauren Layne. I didn’t think Michael and Olivia were getting their own stories. But after reading Olivia’s, I can’t wait to read Michael’s and see what Lauren Layne has in store for him.

 

P.S. I STILL LOVE YOU (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before #2) by Jenny Han. That ending from Book #1 just left me wanting more, there’s just no other way to feel about it. There’s more ‘self’ and other people to discover for our heroine. I can’t wait.

 

ANTICIPATION (Satisfaction #2) by Sarah Mayberry. After finishing Book 1, I had a feeling that Blue and Eddie deserve their own stories and it was even better to find out that Sarah Mayberry is doing a book on these two, together! I’m so excited!

 

ROCK HARD (Rock Kiss #2) by Nalini Singh. After reading Rock Addiction, I knew something was brewing behind the scenes between Charlotte and her new boss. I knew it!

 

Top Ten Tuesday (37): Top Ten Books I Want to Re-read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Books I Want to Re-read…

 

JELLICOE ROAD by Melina Marchetta. This is one of the greatest stories I have ever read and I can’t believe I haven’t re-read it at least once since the first time I’ve read it.

 

 

THE QUEEN OF ATTOLIA by Megan Whalen Turner. Gosh, thinking back on the first time I’ve read it… I have zero doubts that I’ll feel exactly the same about this book. In awe.

 

IGNITE ME by Tahereh Mafi. I want to re-read all those lines and all those scenes. I want to relive all. those. FEELS.

 

 

HOSTAGE TO PLEASURE by Nalini Singh. Even though I’ve already re-read this one twice this year, I’ll probably be able to squeeze in time for a third re-read before the year ends. That’s how much I love this book.

 

  

ROMANCING MISTER BRIDGERTON by Julia Quinn. This is another of my go-to re-reads. When I’m craving for a well-loved, familiar, and light romance with humor, this is the book I turn to over and over again. It never gets old.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (36): Top Ten New Series I Want to Start

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten New Series I Want to Start…

 

  

THE IVY YEARS Series by Sarina Bown. I’ve heard a lot of great reviews for this one and I’m thinking this isn’t your typical NA books so I can’t wait to dive into this one.

 

EVERY Series by Ellie Marney. I’ve been hearing good things about this one too so I hope I’ll like reading it too.

 

HIS FAIR ASSASSIN Series by Robin LaFevers. I don’t know why I haven’t started this one yet. I’ve got Book 1 on my shelf so I better get to this one soon.

 

 

HOT IN CHICAGO Series by Kate Meader. I’m missing Kate’s writing and I can’t believe this one comes out in 2015. It’s a good thing I have her novella to tide me over until her next release.

 

  

FALLING KINGDOMS Series by Morgan Rhodes. I’ve got Book 1 and I have high hopes for this series so I hope it delivers.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (35): Top Ten Books on my Fall To-Be-Read List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Books on my Fall To-Be-Read List…

 

 

ONCE UPON A ROSE by Laura Florand. Because, Laura Florand, new book.

 

REAPER’S STAND by Joanna Wylde. I can’t wait to read Picnic’s story!

 

ALL BROKE DOWN by Cora Carmack. I need to read Silas’s story right now!

 

NEVER JUDGE A LADY BY HER COVER by Sarah MacLean. Oh, Chase!

 

A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray. The set-up for this one is so good and intriguing, I can’t wait to enter this world.

 

Top Ten Tuesday (34): Top Ten Authors I’ve Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the gals at The Broke and the Bookish. 

 

Top Ten Authors I’ve Only Read One Book From But NEED to Read More…

 

TARRYN FISHER. I’ve only read The Opportunist from her Love Me with Lies series and that book just about destroyed me. I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

 

JOY N. HENSLEY. Rites of Passage is one of my favorite reads of the year and Joy Hensley’s debut novel. But she needs to write more books so I have more to read. LOL 🙂

 

MORGAN MATSON. I’ve only read Since You’ve Been Gone and absolutely adored the story as well as her writing style. She should definitely be on this list.

 

JENNY HAN. I definitely adored To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and its sequel is one of my most anticipated releases for 2015. I love how she writes so I’m definitely going to checking out her other series.

 

LILY MAXTON. I was really impressed with The Wager and gushed about it HERE. There are a lot of impressive writers in the historical romance genre, both old and new, and it’s always great to find one that speaks to you and your reader’s mind. I’m definitely on the look out for more from this author.
