Honestly, this one could have been a top 50 Tuesday and I’d still be able to put a list together without much trouble. However, I’ve restrained myself.
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme host by Shanah the Bionic Book Worm. If you aren’t already in on it, what have you been doing with your Tuesdays?
The Lies of Locke Lamora
I received this one as a gift from a certain Bionic Book Worm. That’s not the only reason I NEED to read it this year, but it certainly helps. I think the fact that the series is called The Gentleman Bastard is enough to make me want to read it.
Godsgrave
Most people that have read Nevernight know exactly why I NEED to read this one. Preferably before the final book of the series comes out.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I won this one from a contest held by Sam @ Modern Witch’s Bookshelf. It had been on my list before winning it, but when it arrived in my mailbox it shot up near the top of my TBR.
Scythe
Despite having been out for a couple of years, I only heard about this book last year. And then I heard about it again. And again. And again. It quickly became a NEED to read kind of situation.
An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth
Insights on how to live life from someone who’s survived in space? How can I not want to read that? To make it even more appealing, the author is a Canadian astronaut. And he grew up less than an hour away from my home town!
I don’t think your Top 5 is supposed to be depressing…
Last thing I want to do is whine about all the Schwab books I have but haven’t read. Crap. I just did it.
I won’t tell anyone.
Oh yes read Perks of Being a Wallflower! It is short and a great read. They also adapted it to film pretty well.
Jay Kristoff’s books were highly recommended to me last year and that should be included in my list too but then again I tried to restrain myself too (just a tiny bit) 😅
With the exception of Godsgrave and Perks (I can’t believe you haven’t read Perks!) I need to read them as well. Especially that first one……. I got it for you so we could buddy read 🙂 February right?
Totally up to buddy read it, not sure I can in Feb though…
Whenever we can fit it in. There’s no rush
Yay! Perks made the list! Sounds like you’ve got quite a spread here so far 🙂
Oh, nice list, I have SCYTHE on mine too. Can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about. 😀
I hope you love Perks!!! It’s one of my all-time favourites. Have you watched the movie?
Nope. I’ve been waiting to read the book first!
I’d definitely recommend it too! It’s really good!
Yes! You need to read Nevernight!!! Its amazing 😀
YES!! I need you to read Scythe like… yesterday!! So so good!! And also yes to The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Great list!!
Sorry. I’m busy yesterday. ROFL
I need to begin this series by Jay Kristoff BUT I am waiting for Darkdawn to be released LOL Great list here Joe!
I also want to read The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Scythe. Great list! (and have fun with Godsgrave!!)
Yess for Godsgrave and Scythe, loved both those books!
