This week’s Top 5 Tuesday, hosted by Shanah the Bionic Bookworm, is one that everyone can relate to. THE BOOKS WE WANT! No matter how many or how few books you’ve read, if you love books, there are a pile that you want. The only problem when putting together a list like this is keeping it to 5! How about a top 500 Tuesday?
The Etymoligicon by Mark Forsyth
My interest in non-fiction has been higher this year than it’s ever been before. My life-long love or words, and the wannabe writer inside me, makes this book all about the little known meanings and connection of the words we use every day an easy decision.
Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff
Nevernight was incredible. Going into it, I already knew it was going to be great based on trusted opinions of others. And still I was surprised by it. Can’t wait to continue this series.
Obsido by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Will 2019 be the year I actually finish some of the series I’ve started? I have my doubts, but here’s to trying!
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
This book has been around over 10 years I just found out about it recently. “Young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist.” It. Sounds. Awesome.
Blood, Sweat, and Pixels:
Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind how Video Game Are Made by Jason Schreier
Look at that. More non-fiction. This one appeals to my life-long obsession with video games. It’ll be interesting to take a peak behind this particular curtain.
Great list! Hope all your christmas wishes come true!!
Killer list! I hope these titles find their way to you and the top of your TBR list! Super extra support for Godsgrave (obviously) and Obsidio! =D
You’ll be the first to know if I get Godsgrave!
Yay!!! *Crosses fingers and hopes*
The Lies of Locke does seem awesome indeed Joe!
Agree so much! There are two further books to get to in the series so far and they are all very enjoyable. Enjoy!
Good luck with Godsgrave (and Obsidio). Kristoff is a great storyteller!!
