This week’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is “top ten books you’re looking forward to in 2015”. Now, I actually don’t keep a very good track of this, so I might not manage the full ten, but we’ll see how I do…
- Jo Walton, The Just City. Yeah, I know I have an eARC and I’ve borrowed someone else’s ARC, but I’m still looking forward to it being out and getting to discuss it more widely.
- Maria V. Snyder, Shadow Study. More Yelena! I still need to do my reread, but these are totally my popcorn books and it’ll be nice to have more to look forward to. I might actually manage to read the Avry trilogy when I know there’s more awaiting me…
- V.E. Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic. I don’t know that much about it, but it sounds awesome, and I keep being recommended Schwab’s work.
- Joe Abercrombie, Half a World. I still need to get round to reading Half a King, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy it, and this is another in the same world.
- Catherynne M. Valente, Radiance. From reading the summary, I’m not quite sure about it, but I adore Valente’s way with words, so it’s going to be worth a try.
- Naomi Novik, Uprooted. I remember enjoying the Temeraire books, and I love reading retellings of myths/legends/folktales/fables, so this sounds right up my street.
- N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season. Gimme! Gimme!
- Marie Brennan, The Voyage of the Basilisk. I need to read the second book, but still. Still. Badass Victorian lady!
- Nicole Burstein, Othergirl. Just spotted this on someone else’s list of upcoming 2015 books. Sounds like fun, and there’s superpowers, sooo. I’m a sucker, I know.
- Brandon Sanderson, Firefight. Another one where I still need to read the previous book, but shush. Superpowers!
Oof, I managed it. What’s anyone else looking forward to?
I haven’t read Poison Study or Half a King yet, but they both sound good. A Darker Shade and Uprooted made my list too! Yes to Brandon Sanderson and superpowers! 🙂
Oh, goodness, I didn’t realise I hadn’t replied to comments from last Tuesday yet! D’oh. I’m so excited about these books!
I still have to read Half a King as well! I’ve been meaning to pick it up for so long.. I should also make it a mission to read all of the Brandon Sanderson books.
Great list!
Yeah, I love Brandon Sanderson’s worlds!
The blurb for Jemisin’s Fifth Season is pretty interesting, though I wish it was longer because I’m finding myself needing to learn more about it!
Cheers,

I’m trying not to find out too much because it will make me so impatient!
