I was a little worried I was going to get to this Top Ten Tuesday post and have some major books on here — like Ancillary Mercy — and have to ‘fess up failing to get to a load of ARCs and… Fortunately, I did keep up better than I feared. But there are still some books I should get round to! This week’s theme is…
Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn’t
- Six of Crows, Leigh Bardugo. I only read the Grisha trilogy this year, and in the last two months of the year at that, so I’m not kicking myself too hard. But I would’ve liked to get round to this.
- Carry On, Rainbow Rowell. I wanted to read it as soon as it came out. Then I… I don’t know… got distracted?
- An Ember in the Ashes, Sabaa Tahir. Someone even bought this for me. Why, self? Why?
- The Wrath and the Dawn, Renee Ahdieh. I got a copy of this within a month of release. And yet.
- Queen of Shadows, Sarah J. Maas. To be fair, I didn’t read the book before it, either.
- The Darkest Part of the Forest, Holly Black. I even had/have it out of the library!
- Illuminae, Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff. At least I didn’t have a copy of this one?
- Tower of Thorns, Juliet Marillier. Not helped by the fact that I didn’t get round to Dreamer’s Pool either.
- Armada, Ernest Cline. I’m, uh, partway through it? Maybe I’ll even have finished it by the time this post goes up!
- A Crown for Cold Silver, Alex Marshall. Haven’t got my hands on this one, yet! Though maybe now there’s a paperback…
Quite a mix, really. Maybe I’ll get to them this year — one can hope, right?
An Ember in the Ashes, The Wrath and the Dawn, and The Darkest Part of the Forest are so good. Happy reading!
So I’ve been hearing! I just… need to find the time, ack.
The Darkest Part of the Forest and Six of Crows are both on my TBR/wishlist. I hope you find theme to read all of these!
Thanks! I’m hoping for more time once I’ve finished my assignment… but there’s always another one, you know?!
I’m really interested to see what you think of Armada, and all the other books sound good!
It’s okay, but it feels a little too derivative, so far, you know?
I actually weirdly read almost ALL the books of 2015 I was desperate for! There are tons, of course, that I didn’t read. XD And I only just read Carry On this week, hehe (it was adorable and I luuuurved it) but I do hope you get to some of these! Particularly Illuminae. And I think The Darkest Part of the Forest is AMAZING and completely underrated. ;D

Good to know! I really do meaaaan to get round to the books. It just… doesn’t happen. So many books, so little time.
So many wonderful books on here, I think I’ve read all but two – Carry On and The Darkest Part of the Forest. Both are on my TBR as well 🙂
I feel so behind, haha. Too many good books!
