Neeeeedz!

Oldies

TTT2 TTT3 TTT4 TTT5 TTT1

  • Bloodlines by Richelle Mead: I have the worst luck with spin-offs so I never bought this one when it came out, but it sounds like the series has really taken off since so I get more and more curious at each new installment. I need to catch-up!
  • Fragments by Dan Wells: I really enjoyed the first book in the series – like, really! And I hear this one is amazing. Sequels have not treated me well this year but I still have faith in this one!
  • World After by Susan Ee: Yep, uber failure when it comes to this one. I waited like a million years for a sequel and now that it’s out 287387123761 years later I still don’t have it! *slaps self*

 

Upcoming

TTT6 TTT7 TTT10 TTT8 TTT9

  • The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey: This is the newest one on my list of OMG-Must-Have-Now! It just sounds so good and imaginative, and I already like the MC from the blurb alone!
  • Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver: I haven’t had the best luck with Lauren’s non-contemporaries, but I loved Before I Fall so hard it has me impatiently waiting for another contemp from her!
  • The Young Elites: Umm hells yeah! I loved her Legend series and I will read anything she writes!! *grabby hands*

What are some books you seriously want to read right meow but don’t have yet?

All of Your Contemporary Needs! Jenni

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta: Basically I think this novel should be on every bookish list I make from now until eternity.  Just read it. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green: Clearly I believe in starting out with a bang because holy emotion, Batman.  I think the romance between Augustus and Hazel is just so fantastic and I want everyone to have a glimpse of it. Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally: Basically what my co-blogger has said down below! I think that…

Hello, our names are Giselle & Jenni and we are author hoarders! Jenni

 

Ellen Hopkins: I officially own every book this woman has out.  I was a fast fan after reading the Crank series so I went out and got all of the others.  Even though I haven’t loved all of the others as much as I did the Crank series I still always get really emotional from all of her stories. Jennifer Brown: Brown is another one that I hoarded upon reading my first book by her.  I get…

We watch ALL of the TV! Jenni

The Sopranos – In my eyes this is probably the best show that has EVER or will EVER be on television.  The acting, the storylines & really just everything about it was flawless. Fargo – This is a new favourite of mine. I was wary of it because I hadn’t liked the movie Fargo but the TV show blew me away.  The acting was great, Billly Bob Thornton is so great as Lorne, and it’s darkly funny which is something that…

A hot TBR list for a hot summer! Jenni

I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson: The blurb makes this one sound like it’s packed with ALL the emotions. Great family dynamics, great relationships, I’m so there. CAN. NOT. WAIT. Don’t Touch by Rachel M. Wilson: I’m always fascinated by stories that deal with OCD and this one sounds like it won’t disappoint.  I’m very curious to see how the MC deals with her obsession in the face of it harming her chances of being an actress….

Originality is not dead yet! Giselle

Now I didn’t go through ALL of the books I read, so these are just the first ones that came to mind for this week’s Top 10 Tuesday. And yep, it’s just me this week! J-dog isn’t feeling her best.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: The world inside this novel is insanely creative, but the characters, the twists, the story, are all so unique. I would love to get a glimpse inside this woman’s mind! All the…

Our TBR list is heating up with the weather! Jenni

The Treatment (The Program #2) by Suzanne Collins: I loved The Program so much last year and it left me wanting so much more of Sloane’s story and to find out more about this twisted world.  I haven’t seen many reviews for this one because I have been hiding from them, I hope I love it! Sunrise (Ashfall #3) by Mike Mullin: This is one of my favourite series of all time. The world building and just Mullins’ writing…

All of the author love fails! Jenni

John Green: I bought The Fault in Our Stars last year with full intent of jumping right into it but then life changed and the story began to hit too close to home so I just haven’t gotten around to picking it up yet. I know this is unacceptable and I could pick up one of his other novels but I just haven’t. Sarah Dessen: I have 6 of this woman’s novels on my shelf and I have not even picked…
