Everneath & Everbound by Brodi Ashton — I have both of these books on my Kindle and it would be nice to read some books I actually own before going on to borrow more and more from the library. Plus I'm interested in Ashton's take on underworld mythology.
Unravel Me by Tahreh Mafi — I suppose I should also add "Destroy Me" to this list. I enjoyed Shatter Me well
enough, and I'm ready to get sucked back into the hype surrounding this
series. Though I haven't decided just yet whether I'm okay with a
certain villain becoming much more fleshed-out and a potential love
interest. We shall see.
Finnikin of the Rock & Froi of the Exiles & Quintana of Charyn by Melina Marchetta — I read Finnikin of the Rock at the very beginning of last year and really enjoyed it. Since Quintana of Charyn is coming out this April, I would ideally love to read the entire series in a row.Scarlet by Marissa Meyer — I only just read Cinder back at the end of 2012, so I would like to read Scarlet with the previous book still pretty fresh in my mind. I loved Meyer's creative take on "Cinderella" and can't wait to read how she has altered the "Little Red Riding Hood" fairy tale!
The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab — Despite reading so many reviews for Schwab's latest book, The Archived, I find myself more and more drawn to her debut novel. I love the idea of a story full of dark fairy-tale elements.
Pivot Point by Kasie West — I've read nothing but praise for this debut. I really like the idea of the protagonist having to look forward into two potential futures, and the reviews I've read all speak to how very well done the execution of the novel is.
Poison by Bridget Zinn — I've been excited to read this book for a while now. The premise, the cover, the characters: everything just sounds like a book I'd love. And after learning that the author has tragically passed away before seeing her book get published, I'd like to do my part as both a reader and a blogger to help this book gain more recognition.
Agree with any of my choices? Let me know what books are on your Spring 2013 TBR list!
You picked some great books to add to your list. I also have been really intrigued by The Near Witch. I've had it on my shelf for a long time now, and at some point I will get to it. I totally understand your take on that certain villain in Unravel Me & Destroy Me. I look forward to your feelings after reading both books. I ended up liking Unravel Me more than Shatter me. new follower.

I've heard that Unravel Me is better, so I'm eager to read it! I hope that you enjoy reading The Near Witch whenever you get to it! Thanks for the follow and stopping by!
DeleteI am reading Poison now and so far I am enjoying it! I have heard good things about Pivot Point too and will definitely be picking it up. I loved Scarlet even more than I loved Cinder. It's hard to believe anything could be more fun the Cinder, but it's true! I am working on Jellicoe Road now, and hope to get to Finnikin one of these days. Enjoy your spring reading!

I have heard similarly about Scarlet! I can't wait to read it myself. Good to hear about Poison as well. Jellicoe Road is amazing - I hope you enjoy your reading of it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI haven't read any of those (mind you, I haven't even heard of half of them... I've been out of the book-blogging loop for a while). I hope you enjoy whatever you choose to read this spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You definitely should look some of them up. :)
DeleteOoh, some of these are books I hope to read too – like Shatter Me and the Marchetta series.

I hope you're able to get to them soon as well!
DeleteGreat list! Unravel Me (and Destroy Me) are SO good (TEAM WARNER, all the way!!) And the Lumatere Chronicles is probably my favorite fantasy series, EVER. I hope you get to read all these books, Amanda!
ReplyDeletehaha not sure if I'll be Team Warner or not...I'm curious to find out! And favorite fantasy series ever? That's impressive. I hope I end up loving the entire trilogy as much as you do, Heather! Thank you. :)
DeleteI thought Destroy Me was actually really important to the story in Unravel Me, so make sure you read it first!
ReplyDeleteScarlet is SO GOOD. I hope you enjoy it!
So I've heard. I will. :) And I shall read Scarlet as well. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteEverneath and Everbound are amazing! So are Cinder and Pivot Point. Those are some GOOD choices!
ReplyDeletehaha thank you! I can't wait to read them all.
