I know what you’re thinking: But if you want to read them, then why won’t you?
Simple. I’m an awful person. I’ve been forcing these books to sit on my shelf while telling people I’m going to read them SOON. I’ve been saying that about some of these title for a few years now. Honestly, it’s sickening. Anyway. Here’s a list, in order of ‘most likely to read before the end of the year‘ to ‘least likely‘. I’ll just keep adding books until I’m too depressed to keep going.
Darkdawn
by Jay Kristoff
What? How? I pre-ordered this sucker. HOW?!
Obsidio
by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
This hurts! It huuuurrrrrrrrts! Tell Jay I’m sorry!
Iron Gold
by Pierce Brown
Another one I pre-ordered, and now book 5 is out.
A Darker Shade of Magic
by V.E. Schwab
Seriously. No excuse. None.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
“But it’s so short! A child could read it in a day!” I know, I know.
Vicious
by V.E. Schwab
When you’re talking to Jay, apologize to Victoria as well.
Crooked Kingdom
by Leigh Bardugo
Blehck!
Warcross
by Marie Lu
Fraaaackle!
Sea of Rust
by C. Robert Cargill
Prffuf! The winner of the Contest of Covers and I can’t even open it? I’m awful.
Invictus
by Ryan Graudin
Was told this was Doctor Who X Firefly and didn’t need to hear any more to buy. Apparently I need to hear more to read it though!

I have nothing left to say.
Hopefully my books down grow legs, cause they’ll walk out on me and I’d deserve it. How many of these will I get through in the next 2 months? Who knows? I know a lot of people could get through the whole list, but my life is busy and NaNoWriMo begins tomorrow which will leave me with even less time! SOMEONE HELP ME!
Also, do I have any of these out of order? Which should get the priority?
Oh shoot, I was going to try to read Sea of Rust before the end of the year too! Now that I saw this post, I think I will read it in November for SciFiMonth!
Ohh! Good idea!
Uhg this is making me self aware of my own piles I haven’t gotten to yet…
You’re welcome/Sorry
I literally have no motivation to read any of them either.
You’ve got some BIG books on your list. I wish you well my friend!
I know I won’t get through them all. And I’m okay with that (kind of) but I’m hoping to knock off a few. But with what life looks like for the next two months, it’s going to be tough to get through any more than 2 or 3…
I think at this point I will be happy to just finish my Goodreads challenge, which you’ve done! So at least you are ahead of the game in that aspect :]
Darkdawn is also definitely on my list! I hope you can get to all, or at least most, of them!

Thanks!
I love this post – I might steal your idea! I want to try and read Warcross, Illumine, and Vicious before the end of the year, as well!
Please do! I’d love to read it!!
Ahh I feel you here!! I have so many like this! I really liked iron gold (no surprise there 😉 ) but haven’t got to the next one yet… Of all the ones on here, I think I recommend vicious the most though!
urg, I haven’t read Darkdawn either! I was soooo excited for it to come out, but then I just never read it?
Oh… there are so many books on here that I haven’t read (and series that I haven’t started… Red Rising is staring at me…).
I know I’m almost a month late, but I hope you’re well and that NaNo isn’t kicking your butt.
(For the record, I believe in you, Joe!)
