Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR

I love these lists. Recently I have been terrible about reading what I put on my list, however it always helps me focus on what I should be reading for the season.  As always this list is for books published during the fall equinox and the winter solstice.  September 23rd - December 22nd.  Here are my ten.

Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus

Expected publication: October 6th 2015 by St. Martin's Griffin

I am a sucker for books set in Paris.  This one is getting pretty good reviews and it's apparently not you typical romance.  I have the ARC and I can't wait to read this.

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Feiwel and Friends 

I am curious to see who has read this series that DOESN'T have this book on top of their TBR pile.  I can't wait to see how this series turns out.  I am not always big on Science Fiction books, but I adore this series.

Trust Me, I'm Trouble (Trust Me #2) by Mary Elizabeth Summer

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Delacorte Press

I liked the first book in this series and I am curious to see how this book turns out.  I probably need to refresh my memory about what happened in the first book though.

See How They Run (Embassy Row #2) by Ally Carter

Expected publication: December 22nd 2015 by Scholastic Press

This book makes the list only because it gets released on the very last day of fall, and they pushed the publication date up.  I had a few issues with the first book in the series, but I'm hoping I can really appreciate this book.

Soundless by Richelle Mead

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Razorbill

I was so sad to see that this book has gotten mixed reviews.  I can't wait to read something by Richelle Mead tthat doesn't deal with vampires.

The Anatomical Shape of a Heart by Jenn Bennett

 Expected publication: November 3rd 2015 by Feiwel & Friends

Along with Paris and NYC, I am sucker for books set in San Francisco. This one looks to be very compelling and it's gotten great reviews so far.  I have the ARC so I have a good chance of getting to this book.

First & Then by Emma Mills

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

FNL is one of all time favorite TV shows, so to see this book described as a combination of Pride and Prejudice and FNL, I can't wait to read it.  I have the ARC for this book as well, so I should get to it soon.

All American Boys by Jason Reynolds & Brendan Kiely

 Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books

I will pretty much read whatever Jason Reynolds writes, so this book is high on my list.  This is another book where they significantly pushed up the publication date, so there are no ARCs available.  The subject matter is so timely, and I can't wait to see the author's take on it.

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Expected publication: October 6th 2015 by St. Martin's Griffin 

I have a small confession, I liked Fan Girl, I didn't love it.  Even so I am very excited to give this book a chance.

A Mad Zombie Party (White Rabbit Chronicles #4) by Gena Showalter

Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by Harlequin Teen

I was presently surprised to see that Showalter was continuing this series.  I was actually really satisfied with how the last book ended to be a series finale.  Even so, I am eagerly anticipating this next book in the series.

Top Ten Tuesday (#94) (06/09/15) Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For the Rest of 2015

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 

Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For the Rest of 2015

This is really interesting, I looked ahead pretty far to what I anticipated reading late last year, and I've stuck with it.  I also need to make sure I'm not going to repeat books that will be on next week's list. Here are my most anticipated/what I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year.

Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus

Expected publication: October 6th 2015 by Thomas Dunne Books

 This one is definitely one of my most anticipated, and if I unless I manage to get hold of an ARC, it will end up on my Fall TBR list.  I have a weakness for books set in Paris, and this one has me giddy with anticipation.

Daughters unto Devils by Amy Lukavics

Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by Harlequin Teen

This will be a super creepy book perfect for Halloween.  This was my WoW last week, and with good reason. Just read the description, and check out the cover, and there will be chills.

Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas

Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by HarperTeen 

I love a good retelling, and I am really looking forward to this one. I don't love the cover, but I do love the font and the title.  This looks great.

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

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

I love Sherlock, and retellings of Sherlock stories.  This looks like it will be a great twist.  I have the ARC, I just have to read it now.

The Fixer (The Fixer #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Expected publication: July 7th 2015 by Bloomsbury Children's

I love books set in DC, the only problem is that I live here, so any inconsistencies make me snicker and ultimately annoy me.  I really hope this one is done well.  I've been meaning to read a books by this author forever, and I really hope I get to this one.

Soundless by Richelle Mead

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Razorbill 

 Yes, a new Richelle Mead YA book that does not involve vampires.  I'm so excited.  I loved the VA and Bloodline series, but I can't wait to read what she has in store next.  Plus it's a retelling, which I love.

Trust Me, I'm Trouble (Trust Me #2) by Mary Elizabeth Summer

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Delacorte Press 

 I enjoyed the first book in this series, so I'm looking forward to this one.  I have to go back to refresh my memory on what happened in the first book, but this is definitely a sequel that I want to get my hands on. 

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Feiwel and Friends

It took me a while to read Cress, but then I gobbled up Fairest.  That means I am very much looking forward to reading the final book in the series.  This really has been a fantastic series, and I can't wait to see what Meyer comes up with next.

For the Record by Charlotte Huang

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

I love contemporaries, and I love books that deal with music and musicians.  I have high hopes that this book will be as good as it looks.

First & Then by Emma Mills

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

This one had me eager to read it when it listed Friday Night Lights meets Pride and Prejudice.  FNL is one of my all time favorite TV shows, add in P&P elements, and I must read this.  My only hope is that they get the football part right.  I know a lot about that topic, and if it isn't realistic, I get really annoyed.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (#90) Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm picking:

Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus
Expected publication: October 6th 2015 by Thomas Dunne Books

From Goodreads: 

A troubled teen, living in Paris, is torn between two boys, one of whom encourages her to embrace life, while the other—dark, dangerous, and attractive—urges her to embrace her fatal flaws.

Haunting and beautifully written, with a sharp and distinctive voice that could belong only to this character, Romancing the Dark in the City of Light is an unforgettable young adult novel.

Summer Barnes just moved to Paris to repeat her senior year of high school. After being kicked out of four boarding schools, she has to get on the right track or she risks losing her hefty inheritance. Summer is convinced that meeting the right guy will solve everything. She meets two. Moony, a classmate, is recovering against all odds from a serious car accident, and he encourages Summer to embrace life despite how hard it can be to make it through even one day. But when Summer meets Kurt, a hot, mysterious older man who she just can't shake, he leads her through the creepy underbelly of the city-and way out of her depth.

When Summer's behavior manage to alienate everyone, even Moony, she's forced to decide if a life so difficult is worth living. With an ending that'll surprise even the most seasoned reader, Romancing the Dark in the City of Light is an unputdownable and utterly compelling novel.


Why I'm Waiting:

I kind of need this book in my life now.  It sounds SO good.  Plus, PARIS.  I love books set in Paris.
