Top 10 Books on my Fall TBR List

(Brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish)

Hey all! Welcome to another great Top 10 Tuesday!! Here, I will be listing my top 10 books on my TBR list that I'm hoping to get around to in Fall, starting with 10 and working my down to the book I cannot WAIT to start!! Hope you enjoy and don't forget to comment with your top TBR books :)

10) Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs
The first book in the Temperance Breannan series has fans of the popular TV show, Bones, drooling. I like good crime novels almost as much as I like good crime TV and can't wait to dive into this goody!

9) Pile of Bones by Bailey Cunningham
I found this book at a book sale and the concept of people going to different worlds always intrigued me, but a land that appears after midnight and gives people the chance for real-life role-playing?? Sign me up! 



8) The Shadows by J.R. Ward
My friend just finished this and called me in a jumble of emotion. She was this crying, angry, but still laughing (kind of that crazy laugh which really frightened me...) saying I HAD to read it! We have been reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series for years and this one seems to be on par with all the others. Can't wait to read it!

7) Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien
Speaking of movies... this book to movie adaptation was released on August 28, 2015 with apparently very little publicity since I never heard about it's release, yet knew it was coming out eventually. So now I really need to get a move on to read this book before my friends and I take on the movie.

6) The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward
With this little beauty coming to the small screen soon, I need to get on this! I ADORE J.R. Ward (obviously since two of her books have graced my list), I'm so happy that one of the Warden's creations is coming to life! I heard so many good things about this book, but I mean... I didn't need much convincing... Bourbon? Sexy, rich men? J.R. Ward??? Hooked :)

5) Mechanica by Betsy Cornwell
This has made many peoples' WoW's and though I don't own a copy (yet) I'm seeking to remedy that situation post haste! I love some good fairy tale retellings

4) Welcome to the Dark House by Laurie Faria Stolarz
It wouldn't be a fall book without some kind of scary book :) I will probably read this around Halloween, in between watching scary movies. I also heard a lot about this and lent the book out to a friend to read (since I'm so backed up) and she loved it!

3) Winter by Marissa Meyer
I.... can't..... WAIT!!!! These top 3 books are all tied for books I need to read ASAP! The final book of the Lunar Chronicles and still so many questions!!! I can't wait to read what happens!!!! I adore Marissa Meyer and I know this book will live up (and surpass) all my hype (and really hope another series is in the works too!)

2) Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
After just having my emotions mutilated and having so many feels that I fear I will never feel those feelings again... This is another must read, and a must read that I.... well.... must read soon or I feel I will die of anticipation!

1) Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
We are finally past swimsuit season but this book definitely goes in the "Must Read ASAP" pile. I saw this book on many peoples' WoW's and have been so excited to read it!! Now that the kind people at OwlCrate have placed the book in my lap, there's just no saying no!

So Tell Us.... What books top you Fall TBR list???

Waiting on Wedneday #2

(Brought to you by our friends at Breaking the Spine)

Author: Betsy Cornwell
Goodreads Rating: 3.84
Pages: 304
Release Date: August 25, 2015
Nicolette’s awful stepsisters call her “Mechanica” to demean her, but the nickname fits: she learned to be an inventor at her mother’s knee. Her mom is gone now, though, and the Steps have turned her into a servant in her own home.

But on her sixteenth birthday, Nicolette discovers a secret workshop in the cellar and begins to dare to imagine a new life for herself. Could the mysterious books and tools hidden there—and the mechanical menagerie, led by a tiny metal horse named Jules—be the key to escaping her dreary existence? With a technological exposition and royal ball on the horizon, the timing might just be perfect for Nicolette to earn her freedom at last.

Gorgeous prose and themes of social justice and family shine in this richly imagined Cinderella retelling about an indomitable inventor who finds her prince . . . but realizes she doesn't want a fairy tale happy ending after all.
