Top 10 Tuesday

 Hey all! Welcome to Top 10 Tuesday at Paperback Princess! Here I'm going to talk about my top 10 my hyped up books I've never read. Top 10 Tuesday is hosted at The Broke and the Bookish if you are interested in joining in the fun :)

Most of these books are hyped up books that I despereately want to read but most often, don't have time to -.-

Now in no particular order...

1) Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
My friends have bee
n trying to get me to read this since the movie came out. I have a policy of not watching a movie that is based off a book before actually reading the book but haven't gotten around to it. I still have yet to see the movie but the book is definitely on my TBR (and soon) list.

2) Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Another classic book that I hear is so good but haven't had time to read! Hopefully, once my reading pile gets down I will have time to read it.

3) Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
I was present at the BEA where the ARC of this was being given out but sadly wasn't able to obtain it. I now hear so many great things being said about it from friends, other bloggers and even my students! Can't wait to read this (hopefully someday soon).

4) Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Another great book by a great author that I missed out on during previous BEA trips :( I was so sad about not getting this book but eventually just bought a copy myself! Now, it's just finding the time to read it...

5) Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
This is more about the series in general (since the most recent book, A Court of Thorns and Roses, just came out a couple months ago). I'm a little behind the curve with this series since this series is one of my Beach Books (see original post on Beach Books here). But definitely can't wait to read this at the beach in a few weeks!!

6) Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
This was a book that I came very close to buying without even knowing it was "hyped up". I need a book for a train ride and picked it up along with another book. Sadly, I had to make the tough choice between the two and I chose the shorter one (in hopes of finishing it on my train ride) but I've been
thinking about it ever since.

7 & 8) Fairest and Winter by Marissa Meyer
 I'm including both books since this is another that is more about the series (and I haven't read Fairest yet so it can still count). Can't wait to read Fairest and Winter (coming this November!!!)

9) The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black
Another book I received at my first BEA and never got around to reading -.- I heard so many good things and am so excited to read it!! Not to mention I simply ADORE Holly Black!!

10) The Fill-in Boyfriend by Kasi West
This one actually surprises me, since I am not really into contemporary romances but I read the description while aimlessly wandering around Barnes & Noble one day and found it actually sounded pretty good. Maybe my tastes are changing but I'm really excited for this book!


Well, that's all for this week's Top 10 Tuesday! So, tell me, what's in your top 10? Do we share any in common? If you are a blogger, leave a link to your post and I'll check it out!!

All I Want For My Birthday Are.... Books! (duh)

For as long as I can remember, my family and friends have never had to ask me what I wanted for gifts. Christmas, Easter, birthdays were filled with books and CDs galore! Now that mp3 players have become all the rage, I've dropped the CD idea but the books request has held strong!

With that little piece of background info....Hey everybody!! Today is my birthday!! :) And to celebrate my birthday, I am putting my "wishlist" of books (my top ten TBR list so to speak; sorry it's not Tuesday and there will only be about 5. I don't want to be too greedy) and hopefully I will be receiving some from friends and family (and possibly from a gift from me, to me) on this glorious day of days!

So without further ado, and in no particular order....

1) The Last Ever After (School For Good and Evil #3) by Soman Chainani
I have loved this series since I got the first book at BEA (and the second book at the next BEA)! I'm beyond excited for the final installment of this fabulous series! I'm really rooting for a happy ending for all parties, especially Agatha and Sophie.

2) Rain (Paper Gods #2) by Amanda Sun
I finally read Ink a couple months ago and LOVED IT!!!! I'm huge into Asian culture, especially Japanese, so it was awesome to read about a girl traveling to this awesome country I have always wanted to go to. The plot itself was simply amazing and I really want to see what happens next!!

3)  Alchemystic (The Spellmason Chronicles #1) by Anton Strout
I came upon this series at a Penguin book warehouse sale in Kirkwood, NY (last one ever and it will heavily be missed by the community... *moment of silence*). However, as is common with many book sales, I could only find the second book. I read the description on Goodreads when I found the second book and thought it sounded like the old animated TV series Gargoyles that I used to love watching as a kid. Needless to say, I wonder how it matches up :)

4) A Whole New World (Twisted Tales #1) by Liz Braswell
I found this book when I saw one of my friends reading it on Goodreads. Now, I'm a hardcore Disney fan so this book sounded right up my alley and can't wait to read it and see what other books come out in the series.

5)  Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles #3.5) by Marissa Meyer
I have loved the Lunar Chronicles since I first read the description for Cinder! It's one of the only series where I feel a compelling need to keep reading straight through all the books. So, with that being said, not having Fairest is damaging my soul </3 (especially with Winter coming out in November!)

Well that's my wishlist! Hopefully, by the time you read this, I have already begun crossing off some of these books ;)

Happy Birthday To Me!
