Top Ten Tuesday #1

Books on my Autumn TBR list:

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. This week the topic is Top Ten Books on your fall to-read list.

For this list, I'm doing the top ten books I really want to read before 2014 - not just books that coming out, but other ones that I've been meaning to get to, as well. I'm only going to do the summaries/etc for my top three, but definitely check out the others - they all look brilliant.

1.



Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

After NIGHT FILM became one of my all-time books (really, all-time), I'm beyond excited to read Pessl's only other novel. A murder mystery of sorts, plus a precocious protagonist and tons of literary/film references. Sounds amazing, right?

2.

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater


(loved The Raven Boys, and I'm sure this will just be more awesome Stiefvater)

3.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt 


This book sounds perfect - arrogant liberal art students, who chain smoke and drink whiskey - oh, and commit a ritualistic murder? It's a modern classic for a reason, and I want to find out why.

4.

Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson

5.

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

6.

Vicious by Victoria Schwab

7.

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

8.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

9.

1984 by George Orwell

10.

The Cuckoo's Calling by J.K. Rowling
