Today I am making a list of books I want to read (not that the title would have tipped you off, right?). I guess it's kind of a TBR for books that I don't own. Let's get into the list!
In no particular order:
* Frostfire by Amanda Hocking. Admittedly, this is a bit of cover-lust. All of the covers for this series are gorgeous, but I don't know much about the story.
* White Fang by Jack London. I am a huge lover of anything to do with wolves and the wilderness, so this is a no-brainer. I really want to read this!
* A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. I'm a bit behind, honestly, the sequel has just come out and is getting some amazing reviews, so I would like to see if this book is worth the hype!
* Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes. I am obsessed beyond obsession, with Alice in Wonderland. I collect anything and everything Wonderland-related. It's more than love. So when I heard about this book, a re-telling/backstory of the Queen of Hearts, I knew I had to acquire it and read it. This is high on my wishlist right now.
* American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. I haven't seen the movie for this... I know right? Sacrilege. But I would like to see the movie, as well as read the book.
* Heartless by Marissa Meyer. Um, ANOTHER Alice in Wonderland retelling/Queen of Hearts story? Sign me up, like, yesterday.
* Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman. I love mental illness books; and I read an excerpt of this on Amazon and thought it sounded great.
* Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. Schizophrenia stories are close to my heart and some of my favourites, so this is another no-brainer.
*Animal Farm by George Orwell. Somehow I have gone 26 years and an Arts degree without ever reading a book by George Orwell. Don't ask me how, because I don't know.
So that's my list for today, I've got a few book reviews coming soon so stay tuned for those; and in the meantime let me know in the comments if you have read any of these books and what you thought of them!

I've read some of these. Frostfire is total cover lust but really a let down read. Animal Farm is one of those classics you have to read in school that you either love or hate. Actually, I don't remember anyone loving it. lol But it's an allegory and I thought it was really dull, I much preferred Steinbeck.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether to recommend reading American Psycho first or watching the film. I really like the film, it's disturbing but so well acted! I never bothered to read the book so let me join you in sacrilege.
I've got Heartless and A Court of Thorns and roses. The former should be fantastic, love Meyer's books. But I've heard both great reviews about ACoTaR and many comments about the non-consensual nature of some of the romantic elements. Either way I'll still read it but I hate when an author perpetuates rape culture, especially in YA.
Hello you! :)
DeleteI think I'll spare myself the pain of Frostfire then! I wish we'd studied cool books like Animal Farm in school, but I only got to study English literature. :/
I think I'm going to have to get the film on DVD and have a look!
I can't wait for Heartless! Super stoked.
Ah, I hate rape culture being seen as 'okay' in any form of media... I'm not sure how to feel about that! Let me know how you find it!
