Top Ten Books I Just HAD to Buy…
But are STILL sitting on my Bookshelf
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by

Oh goodness, this week is going to be a bit embarrassing! Don’t yell at me for not reading these! I’ll get to them, I promise! 


1. Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin: I read Double Helix as part of a goodreads book club and LOVED it. When Impossible was released I bought and read it right away. I loved that one too. Of course I had to buy Extraordinary right away. It’s sitting there on my shelf looking all pretty and just begging to be read.


2. Vixen by Jillian Larkin: The cover, the tagline, the time period… all reasons I HAD to buy it. It’s sitting right next to Bright Young Things (also unread!)


3. Entice by Carrie Jones: Need and Captivate were both awesome and I was left NEEDING to know what happened next. I rushed out and bought Entice but then loaned it out to students and just haven’t gotten to it!


4. Tempestuous by Lesley Livingston: Basically just replace Need and Captivate with Wondrous Strange and Darklight and you have the same reasons! Loved the first two!


5. Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz: Include every book that came after this one as well. I just got out of the Blue Bloods groove!


6. Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl: After Beautiful Creatures I couldn’t wait to get this one. The cover is so appealing too! **sigh**


7. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta: This one appears to be very different from her other books. That really intrigues me. I love her writing. The Piper’s Son was amazing.


8. Halt’s Peril by John Flanagan: Another book that my students have. If they ever finish I’ll get to it. Actually, I’ll probably listen to the audiobook.


9. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins: I know, I know… it’s fabulous, I have to read it, she’s amazing. I will, I will!


10. Torment by Lauren Kate: I have the tee shirt. Does that count?


Okay, so…. which one do I read first?

    Oh man! You MUST read Anna and the French Kiss. It is SOOO good….one of my favorites. I also haven’t read Finnikin of the Rock. I have heard some good things about it, so I need to read it soon as well.

    Anna and the French Kiss needs to be next on your list, it’s amazing!!! I wish I had Entice, I need to get it, I really like that series. =)

    An impossible choice… as I said about someone else’s post – with all those good books still in your pile, what the heck HAVE you been reading??? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I’ve been wanting to read Finnikin of the Rock for some time now – will be reading both Saving Francesca and The Piper’s Son this week – can’t wait. A lovely TBR list here, though – I hope you get through them soon!

    I have to admit I did not like Extraordinary as much as the other books I’ve read by Werlin.

    ANNA truly is amazing. I’d go for that first ๐Ÿ™‚
