Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List

I have been on a roll lately adding new books to my TBR list.  I view a TBR list as being different from my TBR pile.  The pile indicates books that I actually own v. books I want to read, which end up on my list.  Most of the books I've been adding don't get published until 2016, so most don't have covers yet, and the descriptions are very sparse, so that would be a really boring list.  Here are some of the more recent ones though.

 The Accident Season by Moïra Fowley-Doyle

 Expected publication: August 18th 2015 by Kathy Dawson Books

This looks like an intriguing debut that I want to check out if I have time.  I don't know if I've ever read anything like it, even though it says it has shades of We Were Liars.
 

All We Have Is Now by Lisa Schroeder

 Expected publication: July 28th 2015 by Scholastic Inc.

I like Lisa Schroeder.  I haven't read all of her books, but those I have read, I've really enjoyed.  I think this one looks like it will also be very good and memorable.

 Awake by Natasha Preston

 Expected publication: August 4th 2015 by Sourcebooks Fire

This one looks particularly interesting.  A cult, a girl with amnesia, a possible kidnapping.  I am very intrigued. 

 The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich

 Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

This looks like it will be super creepy and good.  I think this is one that I should be sure to read when I'm around other people.  I think the publishers did a great job of coming up with a blurb about this book, because it makes me want to read it right now.

 Lock & Mori (Lock & Mori #1) by Heather W. Petty

 Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

This ended up on my list because I was approved for the ARC.  I love the idea of setting the Sherlock Holmes books in high school. 

Hollywood Witch Hunter by Valerie Tejeda

Expected publication: July 20th 2015 by Bloomsbury Spark

This looks like it will be a fun quick read.  I do enjoy a book that doesn't take itself too seriously every once in a while.  Now I could be completely wrong with my impression about this book, but I am intrigued anyway.

 Other Broken Things by Christa Desir

 Expected publication: January 12th 2016 by Simon Pulse

I love this cover and I really hope they don't decide to change it in the next couple of months.  The story itself looks like it may be very uncomfortable, and could be awesome.  But really, that cover.

The Shadow Behind the Stars by Rebecca Hahn

Expected publication: September 1st 2015 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers 

The story of the Fates was always my favorite in mythology.  I am a sucker for books that tell their story.  I can't wait to dig into this one.

Sweet Madness by Trisha Leaver & Lindsay Currie

Expected publication: September 18th 2015 by Merit Press 

A retelling of the Lizzie Borden murders as told from the POV of a maid?  Sign me up!  I hope this book is as good as it looks like it will be.

Zero Day by Jan Gangsei

Expected publication: January 12th 2016 by Disney-Hyperion

I am a sucker for political books.  They are usually a double edge sword for me though.  They have to be really well done because I know a lot about the inner workings (or not) of the government, and the facts better check out, or my attention goes.  Either way, it's one that I will definitely have to read.
