Waiting on Wednesday #1

 Hello all! This is my first Waiting on Wednesday post and I'm so excited to share it with you!! Waiting on Wednesday brought to you by Breaking the Spine.

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer

Publication Date: November 10

Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend–the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?


There are so many reasons why I'm literally biting my nails waiting for this book. 
1) I love the Lunar Chronicles and just NEED to be rejoined with my favorite characters.
2) THAT COVER!!!!
3) I really am dying to see what happens next. For the last few books, I was able to quickly move onto the next book. This is the first time with this series that I actually have to wait for the book to come out >.<

Like I said, there are so many reasons I am dying to read this book but I'll just leave it with these three for now :) 

Make sure to tell us what you are waiting for!! Leave a comment with the book or a link to your blog and we will be sure to visit!!

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!!
