Let's do this!
1. The Girl With all the Gifts by M. R. Carey
2. The Paper Magician by Charlie Holmberg
3. Four by Veronica Roth
(I have Four from the library, but haven't read it yet. My sister's reading it now.)
4. A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall
5. The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
6. Jackaby by William Ritter
(Jackaby's also in my Library Box. My sister's read it.)
7. Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth
8. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson
9. Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini
(That one's ALSO in my Library Box, and my sister has ALSO read it. Gosh, I need to step up my game!)
10. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
That's what I've got for today! Tell me:
Which 2014 releases are you dying to read?

A lot of these are on my TBR too. Since You've Been Gone, Jackaby and Trial by Fire. I've heard of all the others except Bitter Greens; what exactly is it about?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like I'm never going to get to the end of my TBR, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
Bitter Greens is apparently a retelling of Rapunzel! It sounds quite good.
DeleteSince You've Been Gone and Station Eleven are on my list too. I've heard amazing things about Station Eleven and just love Morgan Matson's other books.
ReplyDeleteI've never read any Morgan Matson, but I've heard such great things about her writing!
DeleteStation Eleven was one of my favourite books of 2014 and I also really liked The Miniaturist. The Paper Magicians and Bitter Greens really appeal to me, and I have a bit of a crush on Four!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad you liked the Miniaturist! I've heard mixed reviews, but it seems quite interesting.
Delete...doesn't everyone have a bit of a crush on Four? :-)
Station Eleven is top of my TBR and I can't wait to read it! And I've seen loads of stuff about the Miniaturist.. They've had really nice editions in Waterstones so it was really hard not to just buy it :P Great list :)
ReplyDeleteIts cover is super pretty, isn't it? I want one in a nice hardcover :-)
DeleteSince you've been gone is on mine too. I was really excited about Jackaby too, but it turned out to be a bit average. Oh, well, not everything can be the next Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Jackaby, and though it most definitely wasn't the Next Harry Potter, it was quite enjoyable. Not serious at all though. But pleasant. :-)
