Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing Me
Well, see, December is quite the month for gifts for me … my birthday is on the 18th, just one week before Christmas!
And these are the books you guys can get me, for B’day or Christmas (hihi) in no particular order:
1. The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead, which releases Feb 2013 — Richelle is my idol. Need to say more?
2. Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor — The first one was so beautiful and heart-breaking. I hope this one is as good as the first.
3. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin — well, my friends Lauren and EM don’t stop gushing over this book (and the guy in it, of course).
4. Insurgent by Veronica Roth — what can I say? My TBR pile is too large. I have too many books in my kindle and, even though I want to read this one asap, it’s just seems unfair to spend on it when I have others wanting attention.
5. Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning — another one I heard people saying it’s great and nearly perfect.
6. Stray by Rachel Vincent — this one caught my attention because the heroine is in college. New Adult, anyone?
7. Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead — I just said she’s my ido, right? And yet, the same rule of Insurgent applies here. I want to devour anything Richelle writes, but I can’t spend more having so many to read from.
8. Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst — I just love the cover and the blurb is nice too.
9. Awry by Chelsea Fine — I know, I know. Yesterday I twitter fought Amy from YA Sisterhood for Tristan (the hot guy in this book) and I didn’t even read the second one. Well, same thing as Insurgent and Thorn Queen here.
10. Touched by Corrine Jackson — I remember when she got her agent and then her deal. I read her query letter somewhere and was hooked. I wanted to read it like right now. I still want.
Most of these are books that are already released, but I didn’t have time to read them yet! I have over 50 unread books on my kindle and about 10 print books on my shelf waiting to be cracked open. I need more time to read! And it does seem to unwise to buy dozens of books more just because I want to read them. I’ll end up with a library for a living room and I won’t be able to read 30% of all the books I own, if you let me lol
Anyway, how about you? What are the books you want for Christmas?
Cheers,
Just about everything I have marked TBR on Goodreads qualifies as a book I would like to get for Christmas–and there’s a lot of them! They’re a mish-mash of genres, and I’m sure that list in incomplete. There are so many books to read!! I do hope someone gets you INSURGENT, Juliana. Such a great book. I’m amazed you’ve lasted this long without finding out what happens after DIVERGENT! :D
So many great books on your list! I completely understand how sometimes you really WANT to read a book but have too many books already to justify buying another one. Thank goodness that is what Santa is for!
Insurgent is a great book. I hope you get it!
My tbr pile is beyond huge. I don’t actually NEED Santa to bring me anymore books, but I still WANT them!
You MUST read Insurgent, because it is SO GOOD. There are issues and there is romance and there are twists and turns galore. Loved it!
My list of books I’d like for Christmas is kind of ridiculously long. :) I really enjoyed some of the ones you have on your list, so you’re in for a bunch of good reading ahead.
Hint like MAD for Insurgent! Sequels are tricky to write or direct but Veronica Roth still kept me hooked and devouring the next part of the story. Brilliant sequel.
So what you’re really hoping is Santa will bring you about a hundred extra hours?
Touched by Corrine Jackson is so good! I loved it. I hope you get to read it soon. I can’t wait for the next one.
