Top Ten Tuesday (#2)

Well, hello there! Long time no see. It's been a while and I have no one to blame but myself. Thank you, Nicole for being a co-blogger with the patience of a saint.

I love book recs (especially the anticipation of books I truly MUST read) and I love lists, so posting this particular TTT was a no-brainer. And of course, I'm really curious to see what other books made it to your Top Ten Tuesdays. Can't wait to discuss!

Thanks to The Broke and the Bookish for hosting!

Top Ten Books People Have Been Telling Me That I  MUST Read

I intern at Bloomsbury and I  am still fifty pages in. 
This was on my Summer TBR list.  I just bought it. Gaby made me. 
Bad writer. Bad reader. 
The whole world pretty much told me to read it. 
I kind of feel guilty for never having read this in school.
I get yelled at whenever I tell a fellow blogger I haven't read this. 

I'll get to it eventually....
Nicole, Hannah and Gaby recc'd this to me. 



I LOVED Scorpio Races so reading her other books is a given, right?

Kind of kicking myself in the butt for not having read this.

Eve

Author: Anna Carey
Goodreads Rating: 3.69
My Rating: 4 Stars
Pages: 322
Reviewed by: Nicole


This book spent too long sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to give it some attention. When I found out that there was chance that I would meet the author at a book signing this month, I decided that I had to read it before I went, so I added to the top of my to read pile. This book would have taken me 4 hours total to read this. (It came to a little less spanned over two days). Super quick, fun read, that reminded me of my love for dystopian literature.


Goodreads Synopses:


The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.

Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.



Review to follow the jump.
