Today’s Top Ten Tuesday (as always, hosted by the inimitable Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl) is a fun prompt! It’s especially fun because I only have, like, 10 minutes to write this week’s entry and it should be a fairly easy one! This week, we are focusing on 5 books that you think lived up to the hype, and 5 books you hope will when they release!
These are my top 5 books that, in my opinion, lived up to the hype surrounding them, either as preorders or just in general:
- They Both Die at the End
- The Last Time I Lied
- Illuminae
- Legendary
- Scythe
These are my 5 books that I either haven’t gotten my hands on yet or am anxiously awaiting a preorder for, and I hope they don’t suck.
- The Darkest Legacy
- Spinning Silver
- The Wicked King
- A Spark of Light
- Escaping from Houdini
What about you? Are any of these on either of your lists? Let me know, I am always looking for new TBR pile fodder!
