And This Week's Topic Is...

                       Top Ten Books You Want To Tackle This Spring









1. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs- This novel looks positively eerie, and creepy. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children looks really interesting, and different than most books, so I am uber excited to read it!

2. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli- I am WAY behind on reading this one. This is somewhat of a classic, and I haven't read it so I definitely want to get to it this spring. 

3. Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler- Honestly, I don't know much about this book, but it looks very unique. Plus, the cover is extremely snazzy!

4. Delirium by Lauren Oliver- Delirium is another popular book that I haven't gotten around to. It looks absolutely fabulous!

5. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer-  Again, I have heard so many amazing things about this book as well. It looks like a  tear-jerker, but I know it will be good. 







1. Welcome Caller, This is Chloe by Shelley Coriell- I'm so so excited to read this one! I've heard fabulous things, the concept sounds awesome, and I love the cover!


2. Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter- I have a "special relationship" with this series, as it was this series that really made me want to read more Young Adult literature. So of course, I cannot wait to follow Cammie on her next adventure!

 3. Insurgent by Veronica Roth- I am so excited to read this one when it comes out in May! I loved Divergent (honestly, who didn't?) and I'm pretty sure this one is going to blow the NYT bestseller lists when it comes out. EEP!


4. Something Like Normal by Trish Dollar- There is so much hype for this book and I keep hearing people absolutely gushing over it, so I'm uber excited to read it, even though it sounds incredible sad and may provoke major tears.

 5. Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta- It's going to happen! I am going to read this book once and for all! I know that everyone (since I'm probably the only one left on this planet who hasn't read this book) love, love, loves this book. Willa from Willa's Ramblings reads it every couple of months. So yes, I'm clearly missing out.


A Note From Meredith- Sorry for being absent the past couple days! I got a couple comments about people wondering where I was (which makes me feel very special) and I was just out of town, but I'm back now. :)

  4. Great lists, you two! I can't wait to read Insurgent and I must read Jellicoe Road soon. Now I have some more books to add to my spring TBR list.

  5. Delirium is on my list too :)

    I actually read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close a few weeks ago, and I wasn't that impressed with it, to be honest. I did like Miss Peregrine though!

    Also, yay for Insurgent!

  6. So many on this list are ones I'm hoping to read soon too! :) I think I have "Hello Caller" from NetGalley and need to read it!

  7. Great list, Erin! I've been meaning to read Miss Peregrine's since it came out. I love a good creepy book every once in a while. Of course Delirium is fantastic, you don't need me to tell you that, but Stargirl definitely deserves a shout-out. I read that one a million years ago, but I didn't quite appreciate it until I reread it a few years ago. It really hit me how amazing it was then and it still sits on my shelf :] I hope you enjoy it.
    Meredith, I seriously can't wait for Insurgent! I'm going crazy with anticipation over here! Welcome, Caller looks cute too. I'll have to read it soon since I've had an ARC for a while.
