These are the same books from the Top Ten Books Most Anticipated Books of 2013 as I'm still looking forward them. Honestly, they are SO MANY awesome  YA novels coming out this year that the Ten's list can't hold all the things I want to add. I would have added more contemporary novels like The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen and Dare You To by Katie McGarry. One of my goals this year was to have a more diverse range of genres to read from. 

What books are you anticipating this 2013?

J A Souders - Renegade
I'm reading this book right now and I swear this one was like love at first sight. I'm a few pages from the end now and the tension is so high right now. 

Kathleen Peacock - Hemlock
Kathleen is amazing and so is Hemlock. Her action-packed, werewolf-romance novel left me breathless. 

Gina Rosati - Auracle
I loved Auracle so much! I was so sad when I realized this was a stand-alone. I seriously wanted to read more. I hope to read more from this author in the future. 

Kiera Cass - The Selection
I had a lot of fun reading this one! The characters were all engaging, adorable, and sweet. And I hear it's becoming a TV show too?

Veronica Rossi - Under the Never Sky
I didn't really like this one all that much, but this author was completely new to me when I read it. 

Jill Hathaway - Slide
I didn't like this one much either, but Jill's books were new to me this year as well. 

Susan Dennard - Something Strange and Deadly
I had a few problems but this story is unique and pretty awesome. I love anything to do with Zombies

Wendy Higgins - Sweet Evil
Sweet Evil was amazing and I recommend it to everyone. Definitely one of my top favorites from my 2012 collection. 

Jodi Meadows - Incarnate
I love Jodi! She's so funny and incredibly nice. Incarnate was the first of hers I've read in 
2012. 

C J Redwine - Defiance
I had a few problems with the story line, but overall it is a pretty cozy read. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Want On A Deserted Island




Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created and hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Meme banner creds to this post


Wow. You know, I've actually thought about this question just about a billion times. And honestly, it can't be confined to one book because books lead to series, and series lead to multiple volumes. But for the sake of simplicity lets consider one whole series to be equal to one book. Because, let's face it, there is NO WAY I'm being locked on an island with a copy of The Goblet of Fire and not have my copy of The Deathly Hallows right there next to me. There's really just no way


Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky


 I saw the movie this weekend and it was phenomenal. How could I ever live with myself if I saw the movie, got stuck on a deserted island, and still haven't had a chance to read this book? 


The Iron Fey Series [Box Set] by Julie Kagawa

The Iron Fey books are one of my favorite young adult series' of all time and I hope to re read them many times over again in the future. How could I anyone ever get stuck on an island without bringing Ash and Puck along for the ride? I sure as heck wouldn't. 

Divergent & Insurgent [Box Set] by Veronica Roth
I'd use the knowledge of all the factions to help me survive on this deserted island. If I have to climb a wicked tall tree to grab a coconut  but I'm too afraid to, I'll pretend I'm a Dauntless and brave up. OR I'll pretend to be an erudite an invent something to shake all the coconuts off the tree. 


 The Harry Potter Series [Box Set] by J K Rowling


This one really goes without saying. I'd have a panic attack and suffocate if these weren't around. That's why I don't let anyone borrow my HP books. I literally can't function without its presence around me. 

Vampire Academy [Box Set] by Richelle Mead
I think I can survive anything after reading about Rose's badassery. A tropical rainstorm with freaking lightening and end-of-the-world sounding thunder bolts? No problem. Rose could do it, so can I. (Hehe...not really *Hides underneath the coconut tree* )


The Duff by Kody Kepplinger


For reals now, who could survive a deserted island without Wesley Rush? This dialogue in this book is so hilarious, the jokes would never get old. 


The Hunger Games [Box Set] by Suzanne Collins

I think I could definitely learn a thousand things a thing or two about roughing it in the wild from Katniss. She's such a natural at it. Now I'll just need to find that bow and arrow we have hidden in the attic...


 Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins



Simply because there's nothing more I would like than to read this over again. The characters are such sweethearts



The Lord of the Rings [Box Set] by Tolkien 

I've been wanting to read these for the longest time. Now that I'm trapped on a island I might as well start reading it as there's now all this awesome free time on my hands. 



The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead



...Because you never know when the Zombie Apocalypse is coming. Best to be prepared. I have a good feeling zombies like deserted islands with crystal waters and pristine beaches just as much as the next person.

Top Ten Tuesday (1): Top 10 Books on My Spring TBR List

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly event hosted at The Broke and the Brookish.
This week’s topic is:
Top Ten Books On Our Spring To-Be-Read List





# 1 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green—I’ve read SO many glowing reviews of this book that it’s now going straight to the top of my TBR pile. The story sounds like one of those books that have the ability to stay fresh on your mind years and years after you’ve read it. I’m going to have to get this one ASAP.
# 2 Insurgent by Veronica Roth— The first book absolutely mesmerized me! I’m heading out to get this one the day it comes out.
# 3 Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa—Because I LOVE all things written by Julie Kagawa.
# 4 Last Echo by Kimberly Derting – I LOVED the Body Finder series, and I’m really looking forward finding out what happens between Violet and Rafe.
# 5 Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock—The plot for this sounds fantastic! Can’t wait to get started on it.
# 6 Until I Die by Amy Plum—Looking forward to meeting all the awesome characters again from Die For Me (book #1).
# 7 Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard—I just started reading this book now and it’s been really interesting so far.
# 8 Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins—I’ve been waiting to read this book for who knows how long, and it FINALLY came out.  I absolutely love this series because of how funny the main character, Sophie, is.
# 9 Bloodlines by Richelle Mead—I feel like the last person left on the planet who hasn’t read Bloodlines yet. Maybe I took so long to pick this up because of my strong aversion to spin-off series. BUT, once I heard that Adrian was going to be in it I knew I had to read it. Spin-off or not, if Adrian’s in it then I’m reading it. :)
# 10 Of Poseidon by Anna Banks – The cover really caught my attention, plus I haven’t read a good mermaid book in years.
