Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is new book releases you meant to read in 2016, but never got round to… and definitely plan to read in 2017! As I’m a bit of an expert on hoarding books that I will ‘read next’ for several years, I thought this might be a good one to do.
Five of the six books above are sat on my bookshelf, waiting to be read. I remember buying them eagerly, knowing that I’d soon be lost within them. And did I pick them up straight away? Nope. One was sent to me, Cloak of War, and I’d planned on reading it during Sci-Fi Month 2016 as I absolutely loved the first book, The Empress Game, which also took me ages to get around to. And the remaining book, A Closed and Common Orbit, I am DESPERATE to read, but I want to buy it – and I want the paperback. Which actually isn’t available until April so… that’s my excuse. I just really don’t like hardbacks, okay?! 😉
- A Closed and Common Orbit (Wayfarers #2) by Becky Chambers
- Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas
- The Race by Nina Allan
- SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard
- Cloak of War (The Empress Game #2) by Rhonda Mason
- The Girls by Emma Cline
I own both Time Siege and The Crown’s Game from the four books above, but still haven’t touched them. I’m also waiting for the paperback of Truthwitch, which I believe comes out in June!
- Time Siege (Time Salvager #2) by Wesley Chu
- Gemina (The Illuminae Files #2) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
- Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1) by Susan Dennard
- The Crown’s Game (The Crown’s Game #1) by Evelyn Skye
