Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

This week I'm going to tell you my

Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

Wow, I've written my last Top Ten Tuesday post on June 16th, 2015. It's been a long time to neglect a meme I love so much but this week's topic stole my heart the moment I read it. 2015 was the year of reading books I already owned. I didn't buy as many books as I did the years before and I returned from London - my mekka for buying books without proper thinking before running to the register -  with only 3 books. That never happened before. 

So I want to try to limit my book buying even more in 2016 or to put it more correctly: I want to read more books I already own. I bought them with the intention of reading them, I bought them because they sounded interesting and like my cup of tea, I bought them, put them on my shelf and didn't give them a chance. In 2016 they will get their chance.

These are my Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR ("oldies" but goldies style):

V.E. Schwab - A Darker Shade of Magic 

(by the time this list goes up, I've already finished it the day before - go me!)
 

C.J. Daugherty - Legacy

Leigh Bardugo - Shadow and Bone
 

Samantha Shannon - The Bone Season
 

Ali McNamara - The Little Flower Shop by the Sea
 

Gail Carriger - Manners & Mutiny 

(the last book in a series and it's hard for me to say goodbye to the characters. Sophronia is just kick-ass.)
 

Kady Cross - The Girl with the Iron Touch
 

Janet Evanovich - Takedown Twenty
 

Terry Pratchett - I Shall Wear Midnight
 

Mike Gayle - Seeing Other People

 

Let's see how many of these I actually read during this year and if I can stick to my resolution of reading more books from my TBR pile. 

My Summer TBR pile

This week I'm going to tell you my

Top Ten Books on my Summer TBR

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted a Top Ten Tuesday - way too long! So this week I want to share some of the books I'm planning to read this summer. I'm currently in the middle of the end-of-semester-stress. University ends at the end of June so only 2 more weeks until my summer break officially starts. 

I am an English tutor and decided to give one of my students a reading assignment over the summer to help her with her vocabulary and show her that English books are really awesome. I let her choose from 10 different YA books and she picked Night School by C.J. Daugherty which is awesome since it was on my summer reading list too. 

Since Endgame just came out at the beginning of June I decided to marathon this series this summer. I cannot wait to get back into this world again. 

So I am planning to read the following books this summer:

Night School by C.J. Daugherty

Legacy by C.J. Daugherty

Fracture by C.J. Daugherty

Resistance by C.J. Daugherty

Endgame by C.J. Daugherty

Buttercream Bump Off by Jenn McKinlay

Death by the Dozen by Jenn McKinlay

Mr. Kiss and Tell by Rob Thomas & Jennifer Graham 

The Chocolate Moose Motive by JoAnna Carl 

The Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins 

 

Yes, my summer TBR is rather heavy on Night School and cozy mystery books but that's how I roll this year. I am currently either reading a mystery novel or a romance and can't seem to break my pattern. Let's see if I'll break it over the summer. 

My Top Ten Books I already own and really want to read in 2015!
