Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Spring TBR List

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

It's always so fun to make Top Ten TBR lists, but I realize how depressing it is once the next season rolls around and you realized that you never did complete that TBR list. But we won't think about that. We'll just take the next couple of minutes and thank the publishers and authors out there for producing these upcoming books.

Going Over by Beth Kephart

Publication date: April 4th

Lovers on the opposite side of the Berlin wall. THIS IS MY BOOK.

The Hunt by Stacey Kade 

Publication date: April 22nd

I've liked everything the lovely Stacey Kade has written and this is the sequel to a Disney-Hyperion book I read last year, which I really enjoyed. 

EDIT: I just got this in the mail yesterday, which is perfect timing for my beach trip in a couple days.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Publication date: April 15th

The great Ashleigh (who actually lives in the same area) is sending me this ARC. Despite some hesitation, I still feel like twirling. 

Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen

Publication date: April 1st

I'm not a fan of the cover, but the synopsis has so many great things that I can't even compute. Plus, my sister raved about it. 

Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson 

Publication date: May 6th

I'm a fan of Morgan Matson's books for life which I hope I don't regret saying.

The Ring and the Crown by Melissa de la Cruz 

Publication date: April 1

*hugs Disney-Hyperion*

Summer State of Mind by Jen Calonita 

Publication date: April 22nd

I'll be honest, I'm terrified that this will be a disaster since it's a spin-off-sequel. But it's Jen Calonita. 

Salvage by Alexandra Duncan 

Publication date: April 1st

Feminist sci-fi? Count me in.

Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira 

Publication date: April 1st

I don't know why, but if a book includes letters, I'm instantly attracted.

Plus One by Elizabeth Fama 

Publication date: April 8th

An alternate reality, star-crossed lovers (although I hate that term, I love the concept), and civil rights. Please and thank you.

Split Second by Kasie West

Publication date: February 11th, 2014

Considering that Kasie West is somewhat of bookish royalty for me, I don't know why I haven't gotten my hands on this sequel yet. I'm failing in life, obviously.

Palace of Spies by Sarah Zettel

Publication date: November 5th, 2013

Another book my sister loved. Another book I think I would binge on.

Lady Thief by A.C. Gaughen

Publication date: February 11th, 2014

Confession: I'm terrified.

What are books you can't wait to read this spring? 

Top Ten Tuesday: Books at the Top of My Spring 2013 List

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

The book world is fantastic. There are so many books coming out, I had a hard time resisting some I saw in early June. But this is the spring list so I will only be pulling ones from March, April, and May. So here are some of the books on the top of my spring TBR list.

In no particular order with book titles linked to Goodreads in another window:

1. Five Summers by Una LaMarche

Release date: May 16

Guys, summer books are fun. This one does not just involve summer, but camp. Friendship. Falling outs. Reunion weekend. Most likely boys. It sounds like a great fun read you would take to read in the sun. 

2. Transparent by Natalie Whipple

Release date: May 21

The girl is invisible. Need I say more? 

3. The Program by Suzanne Young

Release date: April 30

I'm guessing this is dystopian. The protagonist's world has a worldwide epidemic of suicide so true feelings are forbidden. You can see where this is going. 

4. The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller

Release date: May 7

Not only is this cover so cute, but the whole plot? It sounds very beach-y. Cheerleader has a secret nerd inside of her. Inside nerd slips up around cute nerd guy. Cute nerd guy whisks her away. Adorable. 

5. The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston

Release date: May 14

I know I have had this as my WW before, but how can I resist highlighting it again? It's about witness protection program!

6. Beauty by Nancy Ohlin

Release date: May 7

A retelling of one of my favorite fairytales, Beauty and the Beast. Yes, please. 

7. The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise

Release date: April 30

Another really cute-sounding read. It's also contemporary, of course. This time of the year and the summer is when you really pile on the make-you-smile contemporary reads. Basically, geeky Audrey is hurt by her father's death and BFF's transformation so to get money for college, she makes the boyfriend app. Of course, things will go wrong.

8. Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers

Release date: April 2

The sequel to Grave Mercy! Holla. More nun assassins, twists, romance, and death.

9. How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski

Release date: May 7

I know, I have a summer book addiction. But this is also a cute cover and look! Road trip time. It is a win-win situation.

10. Zits: Chillax by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman

Release: May 21

Is it pathetic to say that this book is easily in my top two even though it is a comic book? Zits is my all-time favorite comic. I'm a bit too excited for this one.

Honorable mentions: 

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith (I'm getting a preorder from a giveaway!), The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen, That Time I Joined the Circus by J.J. Howard, Towering by Alex Flinn, My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi, Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

I could keep going on so I'll stop. 

What is on the top of YOUR spring TBR list?
