Books I need to read

Holy Cow I have been gone for quite some time.

Today I have decided to post my to be read list. This is a picture of ten of the books I have been meaning to get but have not so far. 


I am committing them to this blog so hopefully you will see some of these mentioned here after I have read them, along with reviews of notable books I have read in the past year.




Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger
As a fan of Gail Carriger’s (adult) Parasol Protectorate series I have been highly looking forward to this young adult Victorian Paranormal Steampunk series.

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
Historical Fiction set during World War II.  Everyone says I have to read it.

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater
I am a fan of Maggie Stifvater. I have read everything she has written. This is the second book in the Raven Boys Series. There is supposed to be four books. I may hold of on this one until book three’s release is announced.

This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
Oh my gosh. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Jennifer E. Smith’s book “Statistical Probabilities of Love at First Sight” ( I will need to post a review of this one because everyone should read it) Because “Statistical Probabilities of Love at First Sight” was such a sweet swoony book. I need to read this!  

Meant to Be by Lauren Morrill
Shakespeare, London and the blogosphere says if you like Jennifer E. Smith and Stephanie Perkins this is a must read.

The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan
Seriously! I bought this book because of its cover.

The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde
Another book I have judged by its cover.  Drgaon scales and a VW Bug.  I am intrigued.

If I Stay by Gayle Forman
I have heard so much about this book and the series that I am embarrassed that I have not read this yet.
  
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
This book is about a girl with anorexia. I think it is important to read books that explore the social challenges today no matter how difficult.

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
Oh. My. Gosh.
Zombies, Steampunk and Civil War!
