Top Ten Tuesday



Today, The Broke and the Bookish asks: What are the Top Ten books you are GOING to read in 2013?

I emphasis "going" because I AM GOING to read these books this year, dang it!







This was actually hard to choose! Thank goodness I can read more than 10 books a year! ;) Happy Reading! May you get to those books you really want in 2013!

  4. See if you can get the Night Circus on audio. The narration is fantastic!

    1. Hmmm, I really struggle with audio but maybe after I read it I'll check out the audio and just listen to parts.

  5. I really want to read Shadow and Bone and For Darkness Shows the Stars. I've heard nothing but good things! I hope I get to them this year as well.

  6. The Night Circus is narrated by Jim Dale who was awesome so I concur with Steph, however, I had a hard time listening to it because there is just so much going on and there is a past/present thing and I didn't love it like the people who read it did so personally I'd recommend reading it, but that's just my opinion.

    I really liked UTNS but I loved The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Seriously. I think you should read that one first ;)

    1. Oh, don't you worry. I'm reading Mara next. :-)

  7. I definitely recommend reading The Night Circus first, it isn't a linear story and I reckon it might be hard to follow audibly. But it is totally awesome and you are bound to love it. Mara Dyer, oh YES son. It's the best book I read in 2012 as you know, it's just so...yeah it's amazing. I really want to read Name of the Wind so will await your thoughts on that, and Shadow and Bone is on my must read list too

  9. I haven't read any of these, but a few of them are on my TBR. I really want to get to Under the Never Sky, but I'm kind of waiting for the whole series to be out.

    Good luck on your goals :)

    1. I like waiting till a whole series is out to buy I can't resit on these ones.

  10. +JMJ+

    The last time I did one of these, I read one book on the list and then ended up going in a completely different direction! So I decided to go with the flow instead of trying to forecast an entire year--even if it's just a modest prediction of ten books to get to. But I do admire people who set a specific goal and then achieve it. I hope that you get to read all of these by the end of the year, Jenny! =)

    1. Meh, I won't punish myself if I fail to read them all but I would like to. It's only ten books, right?

  11. I'm going to try to read The Night Circus this year, too. :) Edenbrooke was a very cute story. And I think you'll like Under the Never Sky.

  12. Yay for this list! As you know, I loved THE NIGHT CIRCUS and EDENBROOKE. :) And UNDER THE NEVER SKY (I'm next on the library hold list!) and THE NAME OF THE WIND are high on my list for this year too.

    1. Well, let's hope we get to the books we want. Suey's husband might die if we don't read The Name of the Wind this year... soon.

  14. Nice list! I'll be looking to your reviews of Under the Never Sky and Night Circus. They're both books I've been interested in checking out.
