Literaturesque: Top Ten To Read This Winter

11.25.2014

This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.

This weeks topic: Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR List!

The Young Elites by Marie Lu - I've been intrigued by this one due to a few reviews I've read here and there. A book about the bad guys? I'll definitely be giving this a try.

Just One Day/Just One Year by Gayle Forman - I put these off because I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy them as much as If I Stay, but my friend is reading and loving them and has convinced me to give them a try!

One Plus One by JoJo Moyes - So far, I've only read Me Before You (and it completely destroyed me for a solid week), but I also have The Girl You Left Behind, I just haven't read that one yet either. Between that one and this one however I like the sound of One Plus One more so I chose it for my list!

What Happened To Goodbye by Sarah Dessen - I feel guilty for not reading this one yet! I bought it a couple weeks after it came out but it's been sitting with the rest of my books for the longest time. I've yet to read The Moon and More either, though I'm mostly getting urges to reread my favorites, Along For The Ride and The Truth About Forever.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - I've been intrigued by this one for a while, and I see good things being said about it from various people online. I love any kind of fiction involving mythology (one my favorite being Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series) so I definitely want to read it soon.

The Winners Curse by Marie Rutkoski - I'd only heard of this book until recently, when a few blogs buzzed about the future release of the sequel and the summary has such an interesting premise to me, so I definitely want to try it.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt - I've added this as a sort of challenge to myself as I briefly discussed last week, and I've seen a lot of people really enraptured by this book so I want to see what all the fuss is about.

The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson - I have to admit, I haven't yet read Speak, but I saw the movie and it was definitely powerful considering the subject matter so I do want to give it a try. But this one caught my attention before I realized it was the same author!

The Diviners by Libba Bray - I previously read Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series in high school so I want to read this one to see if I will continue to be a fan of her books, and I like that she sets it in the past as well.

So what books are on your winter tbr list? Have you read any of these before?

Jojo Moyes is an incredible writer. I really loved The One Plus One! (I'm glad you've read Me Before You, it's one of my favourite books of all time!) Thanks for stopping by my blog!

The Diviners really caught my eye in your list because I loved the Gemma Doyle series as well. This one is quite different, with a dark and sinister world but I definitely found it fascinating! I really did enjoy The Winners Curse as well, it had such a wonderful well balanced romance. I can't wait to read The Young Elites as well, I've heard the main character is quite the anti-hero. Hope you enjoy all of these books and get the chance to read them!

I loved Just One Day and Just One Year, just be warned that Just One Year is NOT a sequel but the story told from the love interest's point of view. There is a novella though, called Just One Night which is a sequel :) What Happened to Goodbye is one of my favourite Dessen books as well as Lock and Key, so I hope you enjoy it!

I really want to read The Winner's Curse and The Young Elites, they look AMAZING! :D

I also put The Song of Achilles on my list - it sounds great, doesn't it?! To say that I love mythology, I actually haven't read much of it! I'm going to check out the Dark-Hunter series that you mentioned :-) . I really want to read The Winner's Curse and basically all of Gayle Foreman's books, but I don't own any so I'm not sure when I will get to them.
I hope you enjoy these books :-)

I also still have to read The Young Elites so that one's on my list but you have to make time to read The Winner's Curse! You won't regret it! Haha :)
And...one can never go wrong with Gayle Forman :)

First things first, the typeface on your blog is sooooooo pretty! I love the minimal style of your blog -- simplistic but classy! This is a really great list. A lot of these books are on my TBR although they didn't make my Winter TBR list. I really want to read Just One Day because all I've read by her is If I Stay (which I loved). Also, I just finished Me Before You about a month ago, and I think Jojo Moyes is amazing, and I want to get my hands on everything she's written immediately. Also, The Diviners and anything by Sarah Dessen are a-ok with me. Great list! Check out my TTT!

I almost added The Winner's Curse to my winter tbr list too. I have a copy and know I want to read it soon, but I always seem to have other books that I want to read first. Hopefully I have time this winter because that seems like one I would really enjoy. I hope you enjoy your winter reads :)

I love Sarah Dessen! But I feel bad as I haven't read this one yet, I really, really want to, I just haven't been able to just seems I can't get my hands on a copy, so it's on my list of books I want to read but the end of next year. Great list of books! Hope you enjoy them!

I really enjoyed The Diviners and The Winner's Curse. I still need to read Just One Day. I own it, but just have never gotten around to reading it. I've also been meaning to read A Secret History for forever! It sounds so intriguing. I hope you love them all!

I love anything by Gayle Forman! The Impossible Knife of Memory was not as good as I hoped. The Winner's Curse is amazing! I hope you get to read them all :)
