Top Ten Tuesday- 2014 Releases I Didn't Get To

Top Ten Tuesday is a really cool original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and The Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten List that bloggers join in on answering... and today (January 12) I'm one of them :)


Today's Topic

Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To







1.  What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick- I loved My Life Next Door.
2.  Get Even (Don't Get Mad #1) by Gretchen McNeil- Think this looks cute and thrilling at the same time.  Plus it's a BEA book.
3.  The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu- This is such a "me" book.
4.  Year of Mistaken Discoveries by Eileen Cook
5.  I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson- WHAT!! How??  I am so disappointed in myself.
6.  Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas & Top Ten Clues You're Clueless by Liz Czukas- I think both of these books sound adorable.
7.  Noggin by John Corey Whaley- Heard really good things.
8.  The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson- LHA!!  Why didn't I read this yet?
9.  Starbird Murphy and the Outside World by Karen Finneyfrock- I was really into this author's first book, so I'd like to try more.
10.  Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot- Seriously I just got this and cannot wait to start reading it :)


There's always going to be a LONG list of books that I wanted to read, but didn't find time for.  These were the ones I really do want to find time for in 2015.

What 2014 releases were you not able to get to??

  5. Nice list! I've only read one of these -- THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY. It's a very memorable one. Anderson's books are always amazing.

    Happy TTT!

  7. I just bought Get Even. I still haven't read I'll Give You the Sun... I'm disappointed in myself for that one. I've heard really good things about Even in Paradise. I hope you get to read these soon!

  8. I loved What I Thought Was True; Huntley Fitzpatrick is on of my favourite contemporary authors. I'll Give You the Sun is one of my next reads; I've heard such amazing things about it.

  9. GET EVEN was a fun read (although I'm still annoyed with that cliffhanger ending...just when it was getting good, it's over).

    "I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson- WHAT!! How?? I am so disappointed in myself." - agreed! I feel like a terrible fan for not having read it yet.

    Great top ten!

  15. I really need to read The Truth About Alice and I'll Give You The Sun. They both sound so great and I don't know why I haven't picked them up already. :)

  16. I have Get Even & The Truth About Alice but haven't gotten to them yet. Sorry to say that I haven't read any of the other books either. There's always more books than time!
