Top Ten Books I'm Looking Forward To In 2015

As always, my want to read pile is much larger than my able to read pile. Even so, there are a ton of books I'm looking forward to in 2015. Some of them I covered in last week's post, but here are some others. I am also going to leave off the sequels and debuts, which I will cover at a later date.

All the Rage by Courtney Summers

Expected publication: April 14th 2015 by St. Martin's Griffin

Books on this issue are so important, and Courtney Summers is a terrific writer so I have high hopes for this book.

Cold Burn of Magic (Black Blade #1) by Jennifer Estep

Expected publication: April 28th 2015 by K-Teen

I have always been pretty vocal about how much I enjoyed her Mythos Academy books, and so I am willing to give this new series a chance. I hope I love it just as much.

Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen

Expected publication: May 5th 2015 by Viking Juvenile

This was my WoW for last week and with good reason. If I were only allowed to read one book that publishes in 2015 it would be this one. I trust anything that Sarah Dessen writes, and this one is no exception.

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

Expected publication: March 31st 2015 by Bloomsbury

I absolutely loved her debut, so I am sure I will love this book just as much. Every time I read the synopsis, I want to drop everything I'm reading and pick this one up.

Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)

There isn't much info on this one yet, but I have really enjoyed her previous books, so I have high hopes for this one too.

Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

Expected publication: June 2nd 2015 by Dutton Juvenile

I feel like I've been waiting forever for her to write a new book. From the description, it will be completely different from the Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy, which if you haven't read you should check out.

Infandous by Elana K. Arnold

Expected publication: March 1st 2015 by Carolrhoda Books

This book looks like it will be beautiful and heartbreaking. I love the idea of the story and it kind of feels like it has a White Oleander feeling to it.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18044277-the-walls-around-us?from_search=true

The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma

Expected publication: March 24th 2015 by Algonquin Young Readers

I enjoyed her last book. It was so fascinating and so well written. I have high hopes for this one too. A good ghost story is always welcome.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22453734-anne-henry?from_search=true

Anne & Henry by Dawn Ius

Expected publication: 2015 by Simon Pulse

How cute does this book look? I love the idea of modernizing the story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Technically this is a YA debut, and I'm excited to check out her work.

Hello, Goodbye, And Everything In Between by Jennifer E. Smith

Expected publication: September 1st 2015 by Headline

Obviously this does not have a cover yet, but since Jennifer E. Smith is quickly joining the ranks of my favorite authors, I have to add it to this list. I can't wait to find out more info about this one.

Top Ten Most Unique Books I've Read

This is more of a list of the Top Ten most Unique or Bizarre books I've read. Sadly for me, the books that I would consider bizarre were not my favorites. However, they were all unique.

17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma

So creepy and so well written. This one stuck with me for a long time, and I've still not read anything like it.

Ashes on the Waves by Mary Lindsey

This one falls into the bizarre and unique category. I had a debate within myself about how a book that is based on another work of fiction can be unique, but I think this book pulls it off.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter #1) by J.K. Rowling

There have been a ton of clones since this series first came out, but really when it came out there was nothing else like it. Plus all the books that try to follow HP, ultimately fall short.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #1) by Ransom Riggs

The blending of the creepy photographs with the story make this book one of a kind.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

I am adding this book, not for the story itself, which is awesome, but not necessarily unique, but for the writing. The way external dialogs are represented is just so unique.

Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves

This definitely falls into the bizarre/unique category. I can honestly say that I have never read anything like this, and the companion book, Slice of Cherry, before. If you don't mind extreme violence, and like something very different, I really recommend this book.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

It's hard to make a contemporary unique. I had never read a book on this topic, and honestly I never want to read anything like this again. It was beautifully written, it was just rough to read. Of course it's completely unique.

Leviathan (Leviathan #1) by Scott Westerfeld

I loved the re-imagining of WWI. Plus the illustrations were so amazing. It was probably the best steampunk book I've ever read. I have never read anything like this before.

Sleepless by Cyn Balog

This is another book that stayed with me because of how unique it was. It really made me imagine if there were such a being that was in charge of helping me sleep. If this could be real, I would have to say that my Sandman is totally failing at their job.

Teeth by Hannah Moskowitz

This book also falls into the bizzare/unique. After I finished my immediate reaction was "WTF". I will say it stuck with me because it was so different from anything else I've ever read. If there is anything out there even remotely like this book, I would be interested to know about it.

Stacking the Shelves (#8)

4/27/2013

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where bloggers share what they got throughout the week!

I missed a week, so this list is going to look ridiculous, but keep in mind this is TWO weeks worth of books. Also, it won't even come close to next week, after I attend a library sale which is always PACKED with tons of YA books. $1 for hardcovers, $.50 paperbacks. Hold me back.
