I've got a lot of books on my wishlist. Like more than I could ever afford, or find room to store, in one lifetime. So here's the ten I want to buy the most, and if you could let me know which ones I should buy RIGHT NOW that would be great. I need to prioritize my massive book wish list!
Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish
1. I'll Give you the Sun, Jandy Nelson-- This will be the next book I buy! I've wanted it for so long. I've heard nothing but amazing things about it!
2. Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mendel- I really want to read this one too, I'm thinking of putting it on my birthday list. Thoughts?
3. In the Shadow of Blackbirds, Cat Winters- I just read and loved The Cure For Dreaming, so I definitely want to pick up Cat Winter's other novel.
4. All the Light We Cannot See, Anthony Doerr- This is such a gorgeous book! I've been in the mood for historical fiction lately and this one has been getting all kinds of praise. Thoughts?
5. Dangerous Girls, Abigail Haas- Not my usual type of novel, but I've heard some great things about it, and it looks like a fun and exciting read.
6. Stray, Elissa Sussman- This looks like a great twist on the fairy tale genre. It's about fairy god mothers. Plus, that cover is beyond gorgeous.
7. The Edible Woman, Margaret Atwood- I need to read more Atwood after The Handmaid's Tale, and I think I will love this one.
8. Orlando, Virginia Woolf - This one has been on my wishlist forever, I just need to bite the bullet and pick up a nice copy.
9. A Mad, Wicked Folly, Sharon Waller Biggs- This is a recent addition to the wish list. It's another historical fiction novel with some feminist themes. Yay!
10. Noughts and Crosses, Malorie Blackman- I love forbidden and tragic love stories, and I've heard this one is great.
Which of these should I make top priority? Which ones did you love?
I'm interested in In the Shadow of Blackbirds. It's got a really nice cover, and I love the historical setting.
ReplyDeleteIt also has old back and white photos weaved throughout the story I believe!
Deletethanks for stopping by!
I can't wait to read I'll Give You The Sun, A Mad Wicked Folly and All The Light We Cannot See. I can highly recommend Dangerous Girls. I adored it! My TTT
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you liked Dangerous Girls, I've heard lots of great things about that one.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Everyone, particularly my coblogger, seems to love Dangerous Girls. I must buy it this year!
ReplyDeleteAwesome to hear, I will have to move that one up on my to buy list!
Deletethanks for stopping by!
The Edible Woman is a really strange, yet really great book - so typical Atwood style. I also read Noughts and Crosses several times when I was younger and loved it so much. I haven't read Dangerous Girls but I did just buy Dangerous Boys yesterday, also not my typical kind of read but I was intrigued by all the glowing reviews.

Glad to hear you liked The Edible Woman and Noughts and Crosses. Attwood's writing also seems to scare me and make me think at the same time. I will have to check out Dangerous boys too.

Great list! I read Station Eleven and All the light we cannot see last year. They were both so very good. I hope to read I'll give you the sun soon!
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad to hear that. I'm really looking forward to those two.

I've wanted to read Noughts and Crosses ever since I heard about it! I know All The Light We Cannot See has been getting a lot of buzz and the cover is gorgeous. Happy Reading and thank you for stopping by my blog!

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed The Cure for Dreaming. I have it on my shelf and haven't gotten around to picking it up yet, but now I am extra excited to!

This is what I chose to do too.
ReplyDeleteI've only read Noughts and Crosses of these, it is very good though
Great to hear it, I will get to that one soon hopefully.

Station Eleven was one of my top reads for 2014! Also, All the Light We Cannot See was beautiful!! -Katie @ Bookish Illuminations (http://goo.gl/tmu8lb)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you enjoyed them both so much! I'm really looking forward to reading both of them!
Deletethanks for stopping by!
I loved I'll Give You the Sun! Dangerous Girls was good too (definitely a quick read AND a mind blower!). I really want to read Station Eleven and In the Shadow of Blackbirds!

Oh man! Now I need these books even more than I did before making this post!
Deletethanks for stopping by!
YOU MUST READ NOUGHTS & CROSSES. I first read it around ten years ago now and it's still one of my all time favourite books. A Mad, Wicked Folly and All the Light We Cannot See are both on my TBR, too, and I picked up a copy of Station 11 at the weekend after a good friend of mine sang its praises. Hopefully it's as amazing as everyone says!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Mallory!
I can't wait to read your review of Station Eleven! I'm going to have to pick it up soon- as well as Noughts and Crosses!
Deletethanks for stopping by!
I've only read The Edible Woman out of these, but it was years ago and I don't really remember it. My favorite Atwood books are The Robber Bride and The Blind Assassin. I would highly recommend both or either. I own Dangerous Girls, but haven't read it yet. I've heard nothing but good things for it. It's high on my list of books I own but still need to read. Great list!
ReplyDeleteAll of Atwood's books sound so great and thought provoking! I really need to read more from her!
