Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List

I had been doing so well reading books that were on my TBR lists that I posted on this site, but then I had a baby and I can barely read two books in a month, let alone ten books in three months.  So here are the books that I really hope to read, as always, these books follow the solstice/equinox, so anything published between March 20th-June 20th.

The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith

 Expected publication: April 15th 2014 by Little, Brown for Young Readers

I love Jennifer E. Smith's books.  Her last two have been awesome, and I expect this one to be too.  I have the ARC, and I can't wait to dive in.

The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass

Expected publication: May 6th 2014 by HarperTeen

I have such a love/hate relationship with this series, but I have mentioned before, I am still VERY interested in finding out how it ends.

Rebel Belle (Untitled Series #1) by Rachel Hawkins

 Expected publication: April 8th 2014 by Putnam Juvenile

I adore Rachel Hawkins, and really if you are not following her on twitter, go do that NOW.  I can't wait to read this book, once again, I have the ARC, now I have to find the time.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #1) by Jenny Han

 Expected publication: April 15th 2014 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

I really enjoy Jenny Han and her books.  I am looking forward to this series.  As with many books on this list, I have the ARC, and I will get to it soon.

What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Expected publication: April 15th 2014 by Little, Brown for Young Readers 

I really enjoyed the author's debut, it was one of the top books I read in 2012, so I have really high expectations for this one. 

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Expected publication: April 15th 2014 by Walker Childrens

I can't wait to read my ARC for this book.  It sounds amazing, and it has everything I want in a book.

Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die #1) by Danielle Paige

 Expected publication: April 1st 2014 by HarperTeen

 This is another debut that I am really excited to read this spring.  It looks so amazing and different.

Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

Expected publication: May 6th 2014 by Simon & Schuster

I really enjoyed her two previous books, and I have high expectations for this one as well.  Now I just have to read the ARC.

This Side of Salvation by Jeri Smith-Ready

 Expected publication: April 1st 2014 by Simon Pulse

I have only read a couple of her books, but I have enjoyed them.  I hope this lives up to my expectations.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

Expected publication: May 13th 2014 by Delacorte Press

I can't believe it's been 4 years since the final Ruby Oliver book came out, and E. Lockhart published something.  I have been waiting for what seems like forever to read a new book by her.

Top Ten Eleven 2014 Debuts I'm Excited For

There are so many I'm excited for that it was impossible for me to limit myself to just 10 of them.  I started with 40, and I just could not narrow it down any further.  I have featured some of my top debuts already on several Waiting on Wednesday posts, so I wanted to feature some of the others that look awesome.  While narrowing this down I only picked books that had covers and descriptions, there are so many more that I can't wait to see the cover of, or learn more about, that did not make the list.  2014 should be a great year for debut authors.

You can check the more top debuts I am looking forward to here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

This looks like an awesome contemporary with a twist.  I also love a revenge story.  I have the e-ARC, now I just have to read it. 

Expected publication: May 20th 2014 by HarperTeen 

Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die #1) by Danielle Paige

This book looks amazing.  I really hope it ends up being as good as it looks.  I love a good re-telling, and this is definitely one of my most anticipated books of the year. 

Expected publication: April 1st 2014 by HarperTeen 

Falls the Shadow by Stefanie Gaither

I don't read a lot of science fiction, and it has to look really unique or interesting to catch my attention.  Sci-fi, Thriller, and Mystery all in one book? This looks awesome. 

Expected publication: September 16th 2014 by Simon and Schuster BFYR 

Landry Park (Landry Park #1) by Bethany Hagen

Described as Downton Abby meets The Selection?  Sign me up!  I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with The Selection series, but even so, this book looks interesting.  I am curious to see how it will differ.  Adding in the Downton Abby part has me sold. 

Expected publication: February 4th 2014 by Dial 

The Merciless by Danielle Vega

I don't know what it says about me, but this book looks absolutely fascinating. I can't even imagine this  scenario taking place, but at the same time it would surprise me if something like this could happen.  It looks like it will be an awesome and unique book.

Expected publication: August 7th 2014 by Razorbill 

My Last Kiss by Bethany Neal

This seems pretty reminiscent of Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, and I'm curious to see how it's different. Back in the day I used to read a lot of mysteries, and when I can get a YA that has some mystery to it, I always look forward to reading it. 

Expected publication: June 10th 2014 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) 

Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano

I love the description of this book.  It sounds like it will be similar to the Body Finder series, and I adored that series.  I have high expectations for this one and I hope it lives up to them.

Expected publication: March 25th 2014 by Kathy Dawson Books

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Contemporary, romance, road trip, celebrities?  If they could combine a book of most of my favorite things in a book, this would be it.  I can't wait to read it. 

Expected publication: April 15th 2014 by Walker 

Trust Me, I'm Lying by Mary Elizabeth Summer

I always enjoy a good con-artist book.  This one looks like it has a great twist to that genre. 

Expected publication: October 2014 by Delacorte

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

As much as I love a good contemporary romance, I equally enjoy a contemporary that tackles some tough issues.  I don't think I've read a book that covers some of the topics that this one does.  I hope it lives up to my expectations. 

Expected publication: June 3rd 2014 by Roaring Brook Press

Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae

There are few things I like more than a fun contemporary YA romance.  This looks like it will fit the bill perfectly.

Expected publication: May 6th 2014 by Bloomsbury
