Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Spring TBR
Welcome to this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!
Finally it’s spring, my favourite season! I can’t wait for all the new flowers and all the drab winter weather to disappear.
Especially for this occasion, I only chose books with covers that I think are absolutely gorgeous because spring is a beautiful season (and I’m also incredibly vein).
1. A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3.1) – Sarah J. Maas
I’ll admit, this first book isn’t the most spring themed book I could have chosen, but it’s not my fault Sarah J. Maas decided to publish a book about the Winter Solstice on May first (actually now I think about it, it’s actually a rather strange decision…). But, I’m not complaining, because I really don’t want to wait until next winter to get my hands on this beauty.
2. A Thousand Perfect Notes – C.G. Drews
My favourite book blogger of all time, the amazing Paper Fury, releases her debut novel in June. I truly can’t wait to read this. If she writes her books as good as her posts (I have no doubt this is the case), then we will be in for a treat!
3. Furyborn (Empirium, #1) – Claire Legrand
This book comes out at the end of May and it already has over 700 reviews, talk about a hype… I’m having such high hopes for this book.
Follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world…or doom it.
This just can’t go wrong in my eyes. Fierce ladies, fantasy, YA… Give it to me now!
4. Sunburn – Laura Lippman
This one is the only mystery I’ll probably be reading this Spring (except for Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris, but she’ll always be an exception). Mysteries tend to be a hit or miss (mostly miss) for me and I try to be really picky and not read everything that comes across my Goodreads feat, because that clearly isn’t a good idea. The main reason I chose to read this book has everything to do with the cover, it’s such a summerish cover and it really speaks to me. I hope I didn’t choose wrong this time.
5. Broken Beautiful Hearts – Kami Garcia
Once in a while I just need a YA contemporary romance to keep myself happy. They are often completely over the top and so over dramatic. YA emotions can go so extreme and all the high school feelings often make it a completely ridiculous read. But, I just have to admit that I completely love that, and I can’t wait to read this book. The more complicated emotions, the better!
6. Reign of the Fallen (Reign of the Fallen, #1) – Sarah Glenn Marsh
I’m so going to read this book for it’s cover alone. I added this book in this list before I even knew what it was about. I’m completely afraid of zombies (in case you didn’t know yet) but earlier this year I had a quite pleasant zombie experience while reading Zombie Abbey so I’m going for it again. It helps that this book isn’t listed as horror on Goodreads. But, still, zombies…
7. The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) – Holly Black
I actually already started to read this one (but only just). I’m completely in love with it already and I’m so happy I picked it up. My current book rating for March is only 2/5 and that’s a bit too harsh,even for me. I hope that this book will be so amazing I can finally give another 5 star rating!
8. Select Few (Select #2) – Marit Weisenberg
Last year I got an ARC of Select and it was one of my first ARCs ever! I really loved the book and I’m so so so happy I got the second book in the series as well! If you don’t know this series, it’s about a family of highly-evolved humans that are perfect on the surface but not so perfect if you look closely. Julia, a girl from that family doesn’t really belong and she has quite a hard time blending in. It’s a really fun book and if you haven’t read it yet, you should definitely check it out. I, in the mean time, can’t wait to find out what happens next in book 2!
9. Fawkes – Nadine Brandes
I don’t read that many historical fictions. But, when I do I almost always like them. I made a packed with myself to start reading more historical fictions because I sometimes avoided them without having good reasons to. I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy this book so so so much. The amazing reviews this book has already gotten so far, help quite a lot to make my expectations for this book go through the roof.
10. How to Write a Love Story – Katy Cannon
Tilly is a girl who’s grandmother is a bestselling romance author. She takes over her grandmother’s writing when she falls ill. I have to admit that I’m a bit doubtful about this book. This can be amazing and funny and emotional. But, this can also turn out to be rather shallow and boring. I’m still going to read this and hope for the best!
We’re already at the end of this week’s TTT! I really hoped you liked it, because I had so much fun writing it! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
I also have Fawkes to read and hope to get to it next month. 🙂
Furyborn is a good read for the most part. It will be interesting to see how it is continued.
Which parts of Furyborn didn’t you like? ?
Omgg I’m SO honoured to be on this list. flails And I just finished Furyborn and can confirm it is epic. 😉 Also Reign of The Fallen is SO GOOD and so stabby and fun and also really sad. ❤️? This is a really epic tbr you have coming up and I wildly approve. ?
yes yes yes, So good to hear I choose the right books for this spring!! I have such high hopes for all of them!! ?
I’m so excited for Furyborn and Reign of The Fallen! They sound amazing. I’m really excited to read A Thousand Perfect Notes as well ?
This spring has so many amazing books! We’re definitely being spoiled! ?
Furyborn sounds epic, I can
t wait to read it. I must admit, I wasn
t that interested in “The Cruel Prince”, but after the buzz its been getting, I
m intrigued to see if it can live up to the hype.I’m reading it at the moment, and I’m not far enough to be 100% sure, but I think it’s going to live up to the hype (for me at least). ?
I am really excited about Cait’s book!! ?

I’ve heard nothing but good things about The Cruel Prince.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I’m reading it right now and so far I have to agree with everyone else ?
You have a lot of great books on your list. I loved Broken Beautiful Hearts so much and I cannot wait until May to get my hands on A Court of Frost and Starlight!
Yes! Always nice to hear that I made the right decision in picking my next reads! ?
ACOFAS and The Cruel Prince is on my TBR as well!! I am excited for Furyborn as well ❤️
We have so many exiting books to look forward to! It’s amazing!?
Okay I have to confess that I got the ARC of Select too last year, but I haven’t read it yet 🙁 yeah, I have so many pending ARCs. And guess what I got the Select Few too 😀 I guess now I can read both of them simultaneously 😛
I hope you get to read all of these soon 🙂
My TTT: http://flippingthruthepages.com/2018/03/fifteen-diverse-ya-contemporary-books-written-by-diverse-female-authors-on-my-spring-tbr/
You should read that ARC! I really liked that book a lot! ? Happy reading!
I hadn’t heard of FAWKES before, but it sounds really good! I put it on my Goodreads TBR list so I can remember to read it soon. Thanks for the heads-up!
Happy TTT!

Suuuuuch a good list! <3 I loved so many of these, and pretty much all of the rest of them are on my super anticipated TBR, too! (Just FYI – I know you mentioned YA contemporaries keeping you happy, so just in case you don’t know, the Kami Garcia book is about abuse. I have been told it is VERY heavy, but very good! I pre-ordered it but haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet, but I have high hopes for it – just didn’t want you to go into it with no warnings!)
Thank you so much for the warning!! I’ll remember not to read it when I need a happy book. I’ve got to many books ruined by having the wrong feelings going in! ?
I have a few of these on my goodreads list. I have Simon vs Homo Sapien on my Spring TBR!! Hope you get to read them all!!
https://justmeandmyblogreviews.blogspot.com/2018/03/top-ten-tuesday-2018-spring-tbr.html
Simon vs Homo Sapien is a book I also still have to read and is high on my tbr!! Happy reading! ?
Ooh Sunburn is one I want to read. I forgot about it and didn’t put it on my list, but yeah- looks great! A Thousand Perfect Notes has me curious too, especially with it being Paper Fury’s book!
I love love love every post that Cait writes, so her book is probably going to be equally amazing! ?
I’m curious about Cait’s book, too. I hope you enjoy all these books!
Thank you so much!!
I hope you’ll enjoy all your books for this season too! ?
Great List! ?
I’m very excited for A Court of Frost and Starlight ???
I can’t wait for it to be May! I need every Sarah J. Maas book as soon as it comes out! ?
Me too! ?
This was a fun post to read! I’m very curious about Furyborn as well 🙂 happy spring reading!
Thank you so much ?
I Hope you’ll love every book that you plan on reading this season! ?
