Lockhart, Gayle Forman, If I Stay, James Dashner, Marissa Meyer, Markus Zusak, Mockingjay, Sarah J. Maas, Suzanne Collins, The Assassin's Blade, The Book Thief, The Maze Runner, We Were Liars

So…aeons ago I was tagged by Emily at The Loony Teen Writer to do the Gif Tag, where basically I have to find a gif that accurately sum up my feelings for the list of given books, and then tag other people to do the same.

We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart

Since writing this post, I have gotten this book for Christmas…still haven’t read it yet.

If I Stay, by Gayle Forman

The Assassin’s Blade, by Sarah J. Maas

I knew it was coming…didn’t make it any easier

Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins

Technically two gifs…but whatever

Dangerous Girls, by Abigail Haas

I did NOT see that ending coming!

The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak

The Maze Runner, by James Dashner

So, I haven’t actually read it yet…but this gif was too good to resist.
It’s on my shelf.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Saenz

And I’m still debating whether or not to read it…

Cinder, by Marissa Meyer

And, because it’s been so long, I’m not even going to bother with the tagging.

Top Ten Tuesday is a thing where we get given a topic, and we have to list our ‘top ten’ things for the topic. Pretty self-explanatory.

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2014

1. Richelle Mead
I did not read Vampire Academy until March this year!! I then read the entire series in a month (including Bloodlines). Definitely my favourite new author.

2. Sarah J. Maas
The Throne of Glass series started gaining popularity with the release of Heir of Fire…so I figured, why not?
*FANGIRLS*

3. Jessica Shirvington
WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS AUTHOR!? Disruption was amazing, as was Corruption. I’m now planning on reading everything but this person.

4. Marissa Meyer
I FINALLY read Cinder!! Now I just need to read the rest of them.

5. Gayle Foreman
With the movie of If I Stay coming out, I figured I’d read the book.
WOW!
Definitely not my usual type of book, but I still really loved it.

6. Kylie Fornasier
Masquerade was just awesome, ok. Go read it. Now.

7. Sally Green
Half Bad was incredible. I can’t wait for Half Wild.

And, because I’m pedantic and always like to have 10, I’m going to finish this week with 3 new-to-me authors I wanted to read this year.*

8. James Dashner
Because The Maze Runner movie has come and gone and I still haven’t read these books!!

9. Markus Zusak
I’m in a similar situation with The Book Thief.

10. Laini Taylor
A Daughter of Smoke and Bone is sitting on my bookshelf, waiting for me.

*Note: Considering the fact that it is still December, I may still get to read these authors before the year is out.

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten Books on my Summer TBR

Now, this is going to be a difficult one…because Summer lasts from December to February…SO. MANY. BOOKS.

We’ll see if I can narrow it down, shall we?

1. The Retribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin
It isn’t out in Australia yet, otherwise I would have read it by now.

2. The Revenge of Seven, by Pittacus Lore
I bought this in August. AUGUST PEOPLE!!!

3. Captive, by Aimee Carter
After reading Pawn, I have been desperate to read this.
I read Pawn, like, a year ago.

4. Spark, by Rachel Craw
I WON THIS IN A GIVEAWAY I’M SO HAPPY!!!
Now it just needs to get here…*waiting*

5. Anna Dressed in Blood, by Kendare Blake
So, technically I’ve already started reading this…but I’m not heaps far into it yet.

6. The Maze Runner, by James Dashner
YES! I STILL haven’t read it yet. This book is driving me nuts.

7. Falling into Place, by Amy Zhang
Another giveaway win…I don’t know why I want to read this one…it’s going to destroy me.

8. We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart
It has been on reserve at the library for quite some time now…
I WANT THIS BOOK!!!

9. Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs
So…borrowed this from a friend in June.
I should probably read it so I can give it back.

10. The Ruby Circle, by Richelle Mead
The only reason this is on the bottom of the list is because it doesn’t come out until February. *beckons February to come faster*

SUCCESS! Narrowed down to 10.

So…what are you planning on reading this summer (or winter, depending on where you live)?
