Top Ten Books at the TOP of my Spring TBR List
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the bloggers over at the Broke and the Bookish. Book bloggers from all around create lists based on the chosen topics, and post links to the host blog to share our love of books. This week we are prepping for spring! I’m spring cleaning my house over spring break, and it’s time to consider cleaning some books off my TBR list as well. I’ve got a backlog of digital ARCs that get top priority, but I’ve also got some books on the shelf that need to make their way to the nightstand.
Top Ten Books at the TOP of My Spring TBR List
[spring forward!]
1.) Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Levithan – Romance told from alternating points of view: an invisible boy, and the girl who can actually see him. Check it out on Goodreads.
2.) The Registry by Shannon Stoker – Girls are auctioned to the highest bidder for marriage at 18, so the protagonist decides to escape to Mexico. Check it out on Goodreads.
3.) Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys – 1950′s New Orleans. Check it out on Goodreads.
4.) Life After Theft by Aprilynne Pike – Modern retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel. A dead girl haunts a school and needs the new boy to help her with some unfinished business. Check it out on Goodreads.
5.) A Corner of White by Jaclyn Moriarty – A letter is discovered in a crack that opens a portal to another world. Check it out on Goodreads.
6.) Cinder by Marissa Meyer –Cyborg Cinderella. Check it out on Goodreads.
7.) In The After by Demitria Lunetta – A girl survives the attack of “them,” only to find out that her situation in the colony of survivors is not safe, either.Check it out on Goodreads.
8.) Rush by Eve Silver – Teens are sent to play a game, killing an enemy, but they believe it’s more real than fun. Check it out on Goodreads.
…and that’s all. I will probably read other books, but if I could clear those out by the end of the semester, I’d be happy! My reading list for school is twice as long, so that will have to do.

Fab list! I’m listening to Out of the Easy right now and it’s great. I think you’ll really like it. Invisibility also sounds intriguing. Happy spring reading
I’ve recently just read Out of the Easy. I really enjoyed it. I hope you are able to get to it. Also if you can make it past the first 50 or so pages on Cinder you are in for something special.
Happy Reading,
My TTT
I keep seeing Out of the Easy listed. I am thinking I need to check that one out.
Out of the Easy and Cinder keep calling my name to try, but haven’t added them to my list. Must do that now. Great TBR list and happy reading!
Jessica @ Literary, etc
Fantastic list of books! I am eagerly anticipating to read ALL these books
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday.
Have a great week!
I’m really looking forward to reading reviews if Out of Easy. Her last book was so good. Hope you enjoy it.
Cool to see a fellow PhD candidate on here =D
I just finished the 2nd book in the Cinder series. So Good. Highly recommended!
This looks like a great list – I see some I definitely need to add to mine!
oh these all sound great! I’ve found some new books to add to my reading list now. haha thanks!
OUt of the Easy sounds RIGHT up my ally. I guess that’s another new book to add to my TBR…
Great list! I LOVED Cinder, so I hope you do too. I’m dying to read Invisibility and In the After. Good luck finishing the pile!
Here’s my Top Ten.
I just finished reading “Cinder.” Marissa Meyer changed the way I think about science fiction, fantasy and fairy tales. I never before considered the impact combining the genres could make!
Cinder is amazing! You will not be disappointed, and you will want to rush out and read Scarlet right away! It is such an amazing way to tell a series, too, each book featuring a different fairytale, but still focusing on Cinder’s tale. Love it!
I’m really excited to read Invisibility, too! It almost made my TTT list.
Happy Spring Reading
I’m soooo excited for Invisibility!!!
I hope you love Cinder!! Another I wasn’t expecting to love and glad I fell in with everyone else and totally did!
Great list, Tara! I love Cinder (and Scarlet). I finished Out of the Easy last week and while I didn’t like it as much as Sepetys’ debut, I still liked it. I’ve also got an ARC of Rush that’s calling my name, so I’m with you on that one! And A Corner of White and The Registry both sound awesome as well. I hope you manage to find some reading time in between all the studying.
It’s making me so happy to see love for A Corner of White. Also, I hope you love Cinder. It was one of my favorites from last year.
My Teaser and Top Ten Tuesday (#3)
LisaILJ @ I’ll Tumble for YA
Cinder is really good and I’m excited about In the after
TTT -Mel@thedailyprophecy.
Ruta Sepetys is my favorite historical fiction author for YA, and I loved Out Of The Easy. Hope you do, too! Cinder, too, is awesome; most creative fairy tale retelling ever. Nice list.
I want to read both Life After Theft and Cinder too! Hope we both finish these before Spring ends
Top 10 Tuesdays
Waiting on Wednesday
Ooh! Out of The Easy was wonderful! (Also, I’m a huge Cinder fan!) I always love your lists because they introduce me to new books all the time!
I just wrote about my current library waiting list because I have SUCH a backlog of books on my To-Read list! I’m hoping to power through my list from oldest to newest this year!
