- Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff. This book received so
much buzz in the blogosphere that I knew I just had to
read it. I managed to get my hands on it when it came out, but
haven't had a chance to read it yet. Here's hoping I get to it soon.
- The Fault In Our Stars by
John Green. This one received even more buzz and I pre-ordered it
despite never having read John Green before. I figured it would be
as amazing as everyone was making it out to be. But I've been too
scared of being totally depressed to actually read it yet.
- Sea Hearts by Margo
Lanagan. It sounds amazing and is another that has gotten brilliant
reviews. I can't wait to read it!
- Graffiti Moon by Cath
Crowley. An Aussie gem (or so I've heard) that I'm ashamed to admit
I haven't read yet.
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by
Anne Bronte. Anne is the only Bronte I have yet to read, and I plan
to remedy that.
- Divergent by Veronica
Roth. Of the many dystopians to hit the scene post-Hunger Games,
Divergent was one of
the few to get resounding praise. I finally picked it up at a book
sale after Christmas so I can read it soon.
- The Thief by Megan
Whalen Turner. The first in a series that came to my attention when
I found out it was one of Melina Marchetta's faves – so it must be
good!
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by
Douglas Adams. This has been on my bookshelf for years and for some
reason I've never read it. I think it's probably about time I did.
- Night Beach by Kirsty
Eager. Eager is another Aussie author that I've heard great things
about, and I've been meaning to read one of her books for awhile.
- Nicholas Nickleby by
Charles Dickens. When I was at uni I was obsessed with Dickens and
read a bunch of his books, but I haven't read much of his lately. I plan to
rekindle my love this year, and NN looks like a good place to start.

SO with you on 2, 6, and 7! Those are on mine too.
ReplyDeleteKinda glad I'm not the only person who hasn't read them yet! ;)
DeleteOh I can't wait to see what you think of Divergent! I'm rereading it right now. I really loved it the first time, but right now I'm seeing some cracks in its facade. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Belle!
Happy new year!
DeleteThat's interesting that you don't like it as much the second time round. I'm looking forward to reading it after all the hype.
Oooo Anne is my favorite Bronte! I hope you enjoy Tenant, it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Oh that's good to know!
DeleteGood choices! I would say in relation to The Thief, don't be surprised if you don't feel instalove for it. Do keep reading to the second and third book which are amazing reads.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know, thanks Marg!
DeleteDIIIIVERRRRGENT. I LOVE this book. I was very hesitant going int because it's SO hyped, but... I loved it like CRAZY. And Hitchhikers! I... Douglas Adams. I can't even. I'm a fangirl ;D
ReplyDeleteI need to read TFiOS, also! Someone stuck a HUGE spoiler in their review a few months ago and I was a bit burned, so I didn't read it, but... my MUM just read it. And she was telling me about it at a cafe last night and started tearing up and crying in public... but... She loved it. I'm excited to read it ;D
I'm so glad to hear you liked Divergent even after all the hype. It makes me more excited to read it :)
DeleteI freaking hate it when people put spoilers in their reviews with no warning. The crying - that's what has made me afraid to read it!
