Top Ten Tuesday

Now, this one was hard, because I find it hard to tell what’s popular, and what’s not. So, basically, my rule was to look at the number of ratings on Goodreads. If it had under 20000 ratings, it made the list.
Interesting note: some series had a high number of ratings for the first book, but books 2 and 3 often had significantly lower numbers.

The Selection:

So, Kiera Cass has announced TWO MORE SELECTION BOOKS!!! As well as another novella from Marlee’s POV!!

GUYS I’M EXCITED!!

You can view the announcement, and also read the first three chapters of The Queen, and read an extra epilogue for The One here.

Dangerous Boys:

At some point in the past week (I think it was on Thursday), Dangerous Boys, by Abigail Haas came out.

As much as I enjoyed Dangerous Girls, I wasn’t really planning on reading this one…but then at least 3 of the blogs I follow reviewed it and said it was awesome, so now I have to read it.

The Notebook Sisters Giveaway:

So, the wonderful Notebook Sisters did a Q&A with Darren Groth, and are hosting a giveaway of Are You Seeing Me?

Books Read:

The Girl in the Steel Corset, by Kady Cross
I have no idea what put me off this book for so long…I loved it.

And I started reading:

The Assassin’s Blade, by Sarah J. Maas
Until I can get my hands on Crown of Midnight, this will have to do to satisfy my Throne of Glass cravings (I think I’ve found a new favourite series*).

*Note: by ‘new favourite’ I mean it gets added to the list of favourites…it does not replace anything.

So…I went a little nuts with the book-buying, and the book-borrowing, and I got my first Netgalley approvals, so I was very excited about that…

Books Bought:

Haha…So, the book buying ban (which is more of a ‘buying restriction’, as opposed to an actual ban) is still happening…but wasn’t entirely adhered to this week…

Masquerade, by Kylie Fornasier*
Origin, by Jennifer L. Armentrout**
School Spirits, by Rachel Hawkins
Sinner, by Maggie Stiefvater

*I got this book from Netgalley (as an eBook) before the release date…but I loved it so much, I bought it anyway.
**I’ve already read this book, but bought it for the sake of adding it to my shelf.

Books Borrowed:
