I always begin each year with a lengthy TBR list. However, I tend to
not always stick to that list as the year goes on. When I want to read a
new book, I am more likely to browse my shelves than my list. Having
said that, I do start off with good intentions. There are plenty of
books I'd love to read this year, many of which are books I wanted to
read last year but didn't get around to. Some are new books that will be
released this year. I always try to read at least one Newberry Award
winning book, and a couple of non-fiction titles. But most of my choices
are fiction, both adult and juvenile. So here is my master list of good
intentions:

CITADEL by Kate Mosse
CASUAL VACANCY by J.K. Rowling
EARTH UNAWARE by Orson Scott Card
COLLATERAL by Ellen Hopkins
NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Mortensen

DUALED by Elsie Chapman
BRUISED by Sarah Skilton
THE BINDING STONE by Lisa Gail Green

THE EMERALD RING by Dorine White
THE SEARCH FOR WONDLA by Tony Diterlizzi
THE KEY AND THE FLAME by Claire Caterer

THE LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON
HIDDEN HEROISM
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH
ISAAC'S STORM by Erik Larson
I reserve the right to change this list anytime I feel like it.
So, what are the top three titles on your 2013 TBR list? Any other books you think I should read?
WOW you are amazingly organized. There may be a few I know are coming that I can't wait for, but more often than not I get sidetracked by books recommended by others. I love a good surprise! I'm especially looking forward to BRUISED by our own Sarah Skilton and I appreciate you adding my book to your list!! :D It makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteArgh! I can't believe I forgot to include BRUISED!!! Yes, I am going in and adding that now AND your new book as well!
DeleteThank you for putting me on your list!
ReplyDeleteI like how you reserved the right to change your TBR list - Ha! It's always fun to check out what others are pumped about reading... I , too, have The Search For Wondla on my lists! (and so many more...)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading,
Lee
I'm looking forward to just about all your middle grade books too. Thanks for sharing your whole list.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi, I highly recommend it - finished the whole thing in 9 hours. It's un-put-downable!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've got to read Shatter Me. My sister just gave me a copy of Unravel Me, the sequel, but I need to read the first one first. :)
