Top Ten Tuesday was originally hosted over at The Broke and The Bookish and is now over at Jana’s blog, That Artsy Reader Girl.
With the amount of snow we’ve had over the last few weeks it hasn’t really felt like Spring yet, even though it’s supposed to be. I’m still waiting for the flowers to bloom and for the trees to be full with leaves again, but it seems to be a while away now. My favourite season (mainly because I’m a Spring baby) lasts for a few months and I plan on filling it with some amazing books!
1. Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian
I was so excited to see that I got accepted to read Ash Princess on NetGalley. It sounds amazing and is definitely one that I want to read before the release date. Hopefully I will love it and then I can tell you all to head out and buy it.
2. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
I actually pre-ordered this a while ago and haven’t had the chance to read it yet as I’ve been too into all of Leigh Bardugo’s books (they’re so good!). There is a lot of hype surrounding this book and a lot of love. I just hope that I end up enjoying it as much as others have.
3. Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
As the last book in the series is coming out in October I need to get my ass into gear and finish reading the rest of this series. I loved the first three so much and I really hope the rest are as good. I’ve heard a few people say that they are good, not great, but I’ll have to be the judge of that.
4. Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
After I finish Siege and Storm I’m going to take a little break from the trilogy, but I will definitely be finishing it off during the Spring because I am dying to see what happens with these characters. I love the unique world and Bardugo’s style of writing, so I can’t wait to read more.
5. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
How could I not go on to read the first book of her duology after finishing the Grisha trilogy? Everyone seems to love this book and the characters, and I really felt like I’ve been missing out. No more, I say!
6. A Gathering of Shadows by V. E. Schwab
Last year I read A Darker Shade of Magic and I adored it! I had never read anything like it and I have been meaning to carry on with the series since then. With the amount of long weekends I have coming up it is time to get on with the reading. So many people talk about the ending to this trilogy and I feel like I need to know what happens. Soon.
7. Zenith by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings
One of my aims for Spring is to finally finish reading Zenith. I haven’t picked it up since the end of February and it is about time that I did. I was over halfway through and I was starting to enjoy it more when I hit a reading slump. It is possible that it influenced my feelings on the book so I’m willing to give it another go.
8. Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Slowly I have become more interested in mythology again and I’m finding myself drawn to Norse mythology. Back at Christmas I ordered this on my Kindle (mainly because it was cheap) and I have decided to add it to my Spring TBR at long last.
9. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Having read Throne of Glass, I figured I should give Maas’ other series a go. Again, I’ve heard some amazing things and after watching PeruseProject’s recent YouTube video I decided that it would be sooner rather than later.
10. The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
I have had this on another TBR list before, but this time I really do want to read it. Like with all the other books on this list I have heard some great things and I know there is another coming out in the series soon.
With my birthday coming up this list might change a little (I know my dad has gotten me a few books) but I am going to try and read them all before we get halfway through the year. Wish me luck! What are you looking forward to reading the most?
Great line up! I really want to read Norse Mythology!! I have heard amazing things.

Oooh yes, read ACOTAR! That trilogy is fabulous and I’m dying to get my hands on the new novella that releases in May.
And personally I believe that books #4-6 in the TOG series are just as good, if not better because you dive deeper into the TOG world! The only thing is that they do start to get smutty so I think that’s why people don’t always like the later ones as much.
And ooh, I read an ARC of Ash Princess! It was pretty decent! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

I really hope I enjoy Children of Blood and Bone as much as everyone else has too. I think the reason I haven’t picked it up yet is because of all the hype. I think I may wait a little while for the hype to die down and then give it a try. Hyped books and I don’t mix well. I tend to not liked hyped books as much as everyone else. I still need to read Six of Crows and A Darker Shade of Magic.

That’s probably a good thing to do. I wish I’d done the same with Zenith because it disappointed me (I still haven’t finished it yet) but you should definitely check out A Darker Shade of Magic. It’s amazing 😊

Ooooh, so many good ones! Okay, let me see… I just finished Ruin and Rising literally about an hour ago, and really enjoyed it. It was my favorite in the series, so I hope you like it, too! Ash Princess, Six of Crows, and AGOS all made it onto my spring TBR, too, so hopefully we both enjoy all of those! 😀
